CI / build (push) Has been cancelled
Archive completed tasks, add cleanup commands, self-documenting dashboard UI
- Archive 79 completed framework-dev tasks from tasks/ -> tasks/complete/
- status.py: add --cleanup-done and --install-cleanup-schedule commands
- Add scripts/automaton-cleanup.sh for periodic task archiving
- Dashboard: rename 'Background' tab -> 'Agent', 'Cleanup' agent -> 'Completed Task Archiver', remove redundant group headers and pill badges, dim inactive agent placeholders
- .rules.md: add Self-Documenting UI Names rule
- New tests: test_cleanup_done.py, expanded test_app.py and test_task.py

# VERDICT: add-loop-templates-onboarding
## Task
Implement prompt-file token substitution in the loop runner, create three loop role prompts (`loop-implement.md`, `loop-verifier.md`, `loop-orchestrate.md`), fill in both loop templates, create the self-improvement template, and add onboarding documentation.
## Deliverables Review
| Requirement | Status | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| R1: `_resolve_prompt` with token substitution | DONE | `scripts/loop-runner.py:248-303`, 4 tests in `TestResolvePrompt` |
| R2: `prompts/loop-implement.md` | DONE | File created, 2 tests in `TestPromptFiles` |
| R3: `prompts/loop-verifier.md` | DONE | File created, 3 tests in `TestPromptFiles` |
| R4: `prompts/loop-orchestrate.md` | DONE | File created, 2 tests in `TestPromptFiles` |
| R5: ci-triage template roles filled | DONE | `templates/loops/ci-triage/loop.json`, 1 test in `TestCiTriageTemplate` |
| R6: self-improvement template created | DONE | `templates/loops/self-improvement/loop.json`, 5 tests in `TestSelfImprovementTemplate` |
| R7: README onboarding section | DONE | `README.md` "Loop Engineering" section with Quick Start, Tick Cycle, Configuration, Monitoring, Halt/Resume |
| R8: `tests/test_loop_templates.py` | DONE | 18 tests (target was 12-16; exceeded) |
| R9: CHANGELOG and technical.md | DONE | `CHANGELOG.md` task 6 entry, `design/loops/technical.md` section 8 updated |
## Quality Assessment
- **Test coverage:** 18 new tests, all passing. Full suite 393 passed (was 369). No regressions.
- **Backward compatibility:** `_invoke_harness` new params are optional. Existing tests updated to use non-existent prompt refs so `_resolve_prompt` fallback path is exercised. No breaking changes.
- **Code quality:** `_resolve_prompt` is clean, well-structured, handles all edge cases (missing file, missing artifact, empty prompt_ref, missing outputs dir). Follows existing code conventions.
- **Documentation:** README onboarding section is comprehensive. technical.md section 8 documents the prompt resolution flow. CHANGELOG is detailed.
- **Security:** Adversarial review found no exploitable vulnerabilities. Path traversal is mitigated by trusted input. Token injection is not possible (single-pass substitution). Large artifact DoS is mitigated by context floor gate.
## Pipeline Artifacts
- SPEC.md -- written and approved
- IMPLEMENTATION.md -- written
- CODE_REVIEW.md -- written, approved
- BUG_REPORT.md -- written (CLEAN, 2 LOW + 1 INFO)
- ADVERSARIAL_BUG_REPORT.md -- written (CLEAN, no exploitable vulnerabilities)
- DOC_REVIEW.md -- written (APPROVED)
## Verdict
**APPROVED -- ready for complete.**
All 9 requirements (R1-R9) are fully implemented, tested, and documented. The task delivers the critical missing piece of loop engineering v1: prompt-file token substitution that closes the feedback loop between ticks. The three loop role prompts provide the LLM instructions for the Implement/Verify/Orchestrate cycle. The self-improvement template enables the framework to improve itself via audit-driven loops.
