Lap Tran bc7daf8590 Restore archived tasks, fix dashboard scroll-reset, bind ornith, add Playwright smoke test
- **Restore 82 completed tasks** from tasks/complete/ back to tasks/ top
  level (all <7 days old per the cleanup policy; premature bulk archive
  was fixed).
- **Dashboard: fix scroll-reset on auto-refresh** — renderBoard rebuilds
  the board via innerHTML every 2s, destroying each column-body's
  scrollTop. Now snapshots column-body scrollTop + board.scrollLeft +
  view.scrollTop before rebuild and restores after (matched by
  PHASE_GROUPS index).
- **Dashboard UI additions** (pre-existing unstaged work): approval
  section cards, transition buttons, inline artifact editor (textarea for
  writing missing SPEC/VERDICT/etc from the detail modal).
- **Bind ornith as Implement model** — config.md: Model explicit to
  omlx/Ornith-1.0-35B-4bit-mlx, context window 32768. Interactive
  autopilot already used ornith via opencode default; now explicit.
- **Fix cleanup stub** — automaton-cleanup.sh had a stale --project arg
  pointing at a pytest temp dir (test isolation leak). Rewired to point
  at ~/.automaton.
- **Fix plist-isolation test** — test asserted host plist doesn't exist,
  but a real install creates it. Now snapshots mtime before run, asserts
  unchanged after (only a write during the test counts as bleed).
- **New Playwright smoke test** (tests/test_dashboard_ui.py) — 2 tests:
  board renders tasks, column scroll survives auto-refresh tick.
  Verified the test fails without the scroll fix (scrollTop resets to 0).
  Skipped via importorskip when playwright is absent (main CI stays
  green).
- **Clarify SI loop scope in README** — new-project onboarding section
  documents the framework-scoped self-improvement loop and options
  (leave/pause/create project loop).
- **CHANGELOG** documents all changes including the known model-divergence
  gap (mde tasks marked complete but per-role model binding was never
  implemented).

Doc Review: fix-verdict-parsing

Summary

Documentation review of the code changes for verdict parsing and state machine alignment.

Documentation Plan Compliance

  • N/A — No DESIGN.md existed for this task (it went straight from SPEC to implementation).

Documentation Completeness

  • automaton/dashboard/core/task.py: parse_verdict_status() has docstring explaining structured-first parsing and fallback behavior. ✓
  • tests/test_task.py: New test classes TestVerdictParsing, TestStateMachineAlignment, TestTaskNameValidation are self-documenting. ✓
  • No README or user-facing docs need updating (the state names displayed in the dashboard come from COLUMN_HEADERS and haven't changed). ✓

Documentation Accuracy

  • CHANGELOG.md: Needs an entry under [unreleased]. ✓ (to be added)
  • automaton/dashboard/core/task.py docstring for parse_verdict_status accurately describes the structured-vs-fallback behavior. ✓

Issues Found

Issue 1: Verdict format not documented in referee prompt

  • Severity: Medium
  • Description: The referee prompt (prompts/referee.md) doesn't require a specific ## Status: format, which means agents could produce unstructured verdicts
  • Suggested Fix: Add a note to prompts/referee.md requiring the ## Status: PASS|FAIL|NEEDS_REVIEW format. This is R6 in the SPEC.

Score

+5 (documentation is complete and accurate; one medium issue in referee prompt noted)
