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).

RESEARCH: move-completed-tasks-to-complete-folder

Objective

When --transition complete is called, move the task directory from tasks/<name>/ to tasks/complete/<name>/. Keep --list and --audit showing only active tasks. Allow --task <name> to find completed tasks by fallback.

Current Behavior

--transition complete only writes the .state file to "complete". The task directory stays in tasks/<name>/ alongside active tasks, cluttering the listing and audit.

Design

_task_dir fallback

Add a fallback in _task_dir: if tasks/<name>/ doesn't exist, check tasks/complete/<name>/. This ensures --task <name> and --transition still work for completed tasks.

cmd_transition move

After _write_state(task_path, target), if target == "complete", compute the tasks root and move task_path to tasks/complete/<name>/. Create tasks/complete/ if it doesn't exist. Refuse if a completed task with the same name already exists.

_all_task_dirs unchanged

Do NOT scan tasks/complete/ in _all_task_dirs. Completed tasks are out of sight from --list and --audit. The fallback in _task_dir is sufficient for targeted lookups.

cmd_create_task

_task_dir already returns the completed path via fallback, so cmd_create_task will see task_path.exists() and refuse with "already exists". No separate check needed.

Risks

  • Audit: --audit uses _all_task_dirs which doesn't scan tasks/complete/, so completed tasks are invisible to audit. This is the desired behavior.
  • Loop references: If a loop's current_task points to a completed task, the audit at line 954 checks _task_dir(ltask, args.project).exists() which will find the completed task via fallback. Correct.
  • --transition on completed tasks: _task_dir finds the completed task, _require_state reads "complete", and LEGAL_TRANSITIONS.get("complete", []) returns [], so any transition is refused. Correct.
