CI / build (push) Has been cancelled
State Enforcement (v2.0):
- .state file as single source of truth for task phase
- Approval gates for research, decomposition, design, test_design
- status.py --transition refuses illegal phase transitions
- status.py --validate-folder detects out-of-order artifacts
- status.py --audit checks all tasks for violations
- status.py --create-task is the only valid way to create tasks
- Pre-v2.0 tasks without .state are UNTRACKED -- all commands refuse them
- New --upgrade command bootstraps .state files for existing tasks
Project Scoping:
- --project flag added to all status.py commands across 16+ files
- _find_project_dir errors instead of silently falling back to ~/.automaton/
- --scope-check marks framework files OUT_OF_SCOPE when working on a project
- Dashboard handlers use stored project_root instead of re-detecting from CWD
- Prompts reference ~/.automaton/scripts/vram_detect.py (not {project}/.automaton/)
Harness Integration:
- status.py --can-edit now supports project-level checks (no --task required)
- --can-edit --file checks file scope without --task
- --json output for machine-readable harness integration
- opencode plugin (plugins/automaton-guard/plugin.ts) intercepts edit/write
- Git pre-commit hook (scripts/git-hooks/pre-commit) blocks commits without task
- Formal integration contract (contracts/harness-integration.md)
Other:
- upgrade.sh delegates to status.py --upgrade instead of manual heuristics
- Phase prompts reference --project {project} for multi-project scoping
- 200 tests passing (14 new)

Implementation: State File Enforcement
Changes Made
1. .state file format (implemented in scripts/status.py)
.statefile contains a single phase name (e.g.,research,research:awaiting_approval,implement)- Written atomically via
.state.tmp→.staterename .state.approvalsappend-only log records all approvals with timestamp and approver.state.lockfor multi-agent claiming (optional, only in multi-agent mode)- Non-artifact metadata files (
.state,.state.approvals,.state.lock,.state.tmp,VRAM_CONFIG.md,PARENT_SPEC.md,REVIEW.md) are excluded from artifact checks
2. State transitions with approval sub-states
- Approval-gated phases: research, decomposition, design, test_design now have
:awaiting_approval→:approvedsub-states - Non-approval phases: implement, bug_find, adversarial_bug_find, doc_review, referee have no sub-states
status.py --transitionrefuses transitions past:awaiting_approvalwithout--approvestatus.py --approvetransitions:awaiting_approval→:approvedand records approval in.state.approvals
3. Backward compatibility
- If
.statedoesn't exist,status.pyinfers phase from artifacts and writes.state upgrade.shbootstraps.statefor all existing tasks- Phase prompts work with or without
.state(warns if missing)
4. Forbidden artifacts per phase (implemented in status.py --validate-folder)
- Each phase has a defined set of artifacts that must NOT exist (artifacts from future phases)
--validate-folderchecks and reports violations--transitionrefuses to proceed if forbidden artifacts exist
5. Task creation gate (implemented in status.py --create-task)
--create-taskcreates task folder with.state=newand empty.state.approvals- Validates kebab-case task names
- Refuses if task already exists
--auditCategory 4 flags manually created task folders
6. Orchestrator and workflow updates
prompts/workflow.mdrewritten:.stateis canonical, approval sub-states documented,status.pycommands referencedprompts/orchestrate.mdreduced from 493 to 143 lines, referencesworkflow.mdandsubtask_management.md- All phase prompts include
.stateprecondition check
