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

Raw Blame History

Verdict: add-status-brakes

Status: PASS

The task delivers the loop-engineering brakes layer (R1–R10) entirely inside status.py, with no new dependencies and no second enforcement surface. It is the foundation that tasks 3–7 build on; everything those tasks need to call (--check-gate, --can-continue, --approve --loop, --can-edit --loop, --create-loop, --install-schedule, --loop-list, .state.log) is now in place and unit-tested.

Requirement coverage

Req Delivered Tests
R1 .state.loop schema All 13 fields, atomic tmp+rename TestStateLoopSchema (2)
R2 --create-loop kebab/dup/template rejection, name patch TestCreateLoop (5)
R3 --version, --approve --loop version regex; only halt-clear; resumed_count++ TestVersionAndApprove (4)
R4 --can-continue running-only probe TestCanContinue (3)
R5 --check-gate (6 gates) First-failure halts + JSON TestCheckGate (10)
R6 --install-schedule Darwin/Linux/Windows dispatch + stub TestInstallSchedule (3)
R7 --can-edit --loop [--loop-worktree] Root residency + file_scope TestCanEditLoop (4)
R8 --transition halt refusal Owned-task scan TestTransitionHaltRefusal (3)
R9 --audit Cat-6 + --loop-list Runs even when no tasks; untracked/halted flag TestAuditAndList (6)
R10 .state.log tick trail ISO timestamps TestTickLog (3), TestPauseResume (3)

Total: 46 new tests. Suite: 310 passed (was 264 + 46 new). No regressions. python3 -m py_compile scripts/status.py clean.

Defense against the five loop deaths

  • drift → _gate_worktree_drift (R5)
  • runaway → _gate_iterations (R5)
  • bad verifier → _gate_score_plateau (R5)
  • resource burn → _gate_budget (R5, remote-only informational)
  • undetected halt → R8 transition refusal + Cat-6 audit + gate halt-write

Harness / OS / model agnosticism preserved

  • All surface reachable via status.py subprocess + --json. No harness-specific code. Works with opencode or any harness (D8).
  • platform.system() dispatches launchd/cron/schtasks; missing tools degrade gracefully (warn + skip, not crash). D13 honored.
  • Framework never inspects model capability/size/provider — --loop-mode already refused sub-16k in task 1; this task does not consult any model field.

Doc impact landed

  • AGENTS.md Harness Integration modes block extended with the --loop worktree-scope mode (mode 5).
  • AGENTS.md new "State Enforcement — Loops (v1)" section.
  • README.md new "Loop Engineering (beta)" subsection with quick-reference commands.
  • CHANGELOG.md [unreleased] entry for the brakes layer.

Hardening items deferred (tracked)

  • A6 fcntl lock on .state.loop → v1.1.
  • A2 --claim-loop-task atomic ownership → task 3.
  • O3 blast_radius.base_branch drift parameterization → task 5.
  • O4 _enable_schedule Linux parity → task 5 / v1.1.

All four are explicit follow-ups in BUG_REPORT.md and ADVERSARIAL_BUG_REPORT.md; none block this task.

Resolution

PASS — proceed to complete. Task add-status-brakes is the foundation for the loop v1 implementation. Tasks 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 can now be unblocked, each relying on the standardized .state.loop schema and the brakes gates this task ships.
