CI / build (push) Has been cancelled
Fix 11 automation gaps: dead-end phases, autopilot runtime, guard plugin, status.py bugs, Category 3 audit
- Fix decomposition:approved and human_intervention dead-end phases
- Add scripts/autopilot.py: real drive_all() implementation
- Fix guard plugin: throw Error instead of injecting user messages
- Fix status.py: double continue, _require_state, --list-states
- Add Category 3 (git-based modification) audit
- Add Category 5 (stuck-task detection) audit

Implement Autopilot Runtime

Problem

  • drive_all() only exists as pseudocode in orchestrate.md. No Python implementation.
  • No idle loop when all tasks complete.
  • No stuck-task detection (crash recovery, phase-stuck detection).

Fix

Create scripts/autopilot.py with:

  1. scan_all_tasks() — reads all .state files in tasks/
  2. is_terminal() — checks if phase is complete or human_intervention
  3. needs_user_input() — checks if phase ends with :awaiting_approval or task has VERDICT.md with FAIL/NEEDS_REVIEW
  4. drive_task() — loads and executes the prompt for the current phase
  5. drive_all() — main loop that processes unblocked non-terminal tasks
  6. Idle behavior: when all tasks terminal, prompt user to create new tasks
  7. Stuck detection: tasks in same non-terminal phase > 60 min are flagged

Verification

  • python scripts/autopilot.py --project /path/to/project runs the autopilot
  • Handles empty queue gracefully
  • Detects and reports stuck tasks
