CI / build (push) Has been cancelled
v2.0: state enforcement, project scoping, harness integration
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)

Framework Configuration

This file contains global framework settings that apply across all projects.

VRAM Configuration

Settings for task decomposition based on available VRAM.

  • Auto-detect: Yes # Detect GPU VRAM, RAM, and model context window automatically
  • Target context: 16k tokens # Override auto-detect if needed
  • Headroom: 25% # Leave headroom for code, context, and reasoning
  • Max peak context per sub-task: 12k tokens # Max context for any single sub-task

Auto-detection

When Auto-detect: Yes, the framework probes your system to detect:

  • GPU VRAM (via nvidia-smi or lspci)
  • System RAM (via /proc/meminfo or sysctl)
  • Model context window (via API config or model name lookup)
  • Framework overhead (by reading all loaded prompt files)

To disable auto-detection and use manual values:

## VRAM Configuration
- **Auto-detect**: No
- **Target context**: 8k
- **Headroom**: 30%
- **Max peak context per sub-task**: 5.6k

Model Configuration

Settings for the LLM model being used.

  • Model: auto # Use auto-detection from API config, or specify explicitly (e.g., gpt-4o, claude-3-5-sonnet)
  • Override context window: auto # Override auto-detection, or specify (e.g., 128k, 200k)

Auto-detection

When Model: auto, the framework detects the model name from:

  1. .agent.md in the project (if specified there)
  2. API config files (.env, config.yaml, config.json, etc.)
  3. Model name lookup by name (e.g., gpt-4o → 128k, claude-3-5-sonnet → 200k)

To disable auto-detection and use manual values:

## Model Configuration
- **Model**: gpt-4o
- **Override context window**: 128k

System Requirements

Requirements for the environment the framework runs in.

  • nvidia-smi: Required if NVIDIA GPU (for VRAM detection)
  • lspci: Fallback if NVIDIA GPU not available (for AMD GPU VRAM detection)
  • /proc/meminfo: Required for RAM detection (Linux)
  • sysctl: Fallback for RAM detection (macOS)

Framework Version

  • Version: 2.0
  • State enforcement: enabled (.state file + status.py)
