- **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).

Implementation: harden-parse-verdict
SCOPE
Closed add-loop-runner/BUG_REPORT.md O6 (pass-string coercion bug) plus
the un-noted sibling issue (no score clamping). Pure-function change to
parse_verdict in scripts/loop-runner.py. No CLI surface change; no
schema change; no new deps (math is stdlib).
FILES TOUCHED
scripts/loop-runner.py- Added
import math. parse_verdict(text): replacedverdict["pass"] = bool(data.get("pass"))with explicit string-vs-bool dispatch:- bool passed through →
bool(True)= True;bool(False)= False (unchanged). "true"(any case, leading/trailing whitespace stripped) → True."false"(any case, leading/trailing whitespace stripped) → False.- Any other string →
bool(raw_pass.strip())(empty → False; non-empty → True). Preserves oldbool(...)truthy semantics for"yes"/ etc.
- bool passed through →
- Replaced
verdict["score"] = float(data.get("score", 0.0))with:try: score = float(data.get("score", 0.0))/except (TypeError, ValueError): score = 0.5(TypeError for non-numeric types like None/list/dict; ValueError for non-numeric strings like "great").if not math.isfinite(score): score = 0.5(catches NaN, Infinity, -Infinity returned by some Hermes-style recursive decoders).score = max(0.0, min(1.0, score))(clamp to[0, 1]).
- Updated docstring to spell out the new contract:
passaccepts bool OR"true"/"false"strings (case-insensitive);scoreis clamped to[0, 1]with NaN/non-finite → 0.5.
- Added
D-ITEMS Locked
- D-V1:
"true"/"false"strings → bool via case-insensitive equality. Other strings defer to currentbool(...)for backwards compat (pass: "yes"stays truthy). - D-V2:
scoreNaN / non-finite →0.5. - D-V3:
scorenon-numeric string →0.5. - D-V4: No opt-out flag for clamping. Strict emitters unaffected.
- D-V5: Tests are pure-functional; no subprocess.
BUG FOUND AND FIXED INLINE
While running tests/test_parse_verdict.py, the test
test_other_truthy_string_pass failed on the first iteration. The
implementation had:
if isinstance(raw_pass, str):
verdict_pass = raw_pass.strip().lower() == "true"
This treats EVERY non-"true" string as False — including "yes",
which used to be True via bool("yes"). SPEC R1 explicitly says
non-true/false strings fall through to bool(...) for backwards
compat. Fixed to the three-way branch:
if isinstance(raw_pass, str):
lower = raw_pass.strip().lower()
if lower == "true":
verdict_pass = True
elif lower == "false":
verdict_pass = False
else:
verdict_pass = bool(raw_pass.strip())
This is consistent with SPEC R1 wording. All 22 tests pass after the fix.
TESTS
New file tests/test_parse_verdict.py — 22 tests across 5 classes:
TestStrictBaseline(2): boolpasstrue/false; preserves existing semantics.TestPassStringCoercion(6):"true"/"false"strings, case-insensitive, surrounding whitespace, empty string, other truthy string.TestScoreClamping(9): clamped high (1.5→1.0), clamped low (-0.3→0.0), edges (0.0, 1.0), NaN → 0.5, Infinity → 0.5, non-numeric string "great" → 0.5, numeric string "0.75" → 0.75, missing score → 0.0, None score → 0.5.TestFenceBlockStillWorks(2): existing fence-block path with bool pass; fence path with string-pass + clamped score.TestOptionalKeysPreserved(3): reasons+next_hint combination, missing reasons → [], non-list reasons coerced to [].
TEST COUNT
- Baseline: 447 passed (post-
add-state-loop-lock). - New: +22 in
tests/test_parse_verdict.py. - Final: 469 passed, 0 regressions.
