Fix Dead-End Phases

Problem

  • decomposition:approved has [] in LEGAL_TRANSITIONS (status.py:91). Parent tasks stuck forever.
  • human_intervention not in LEGAL_TRANSITIONS at all. Referee can transition into it but never out.

Fix

  1. Add decomposition:approved → [complete] to LEGAL_TRANSITIONS (parent task completes when all subtasks done)
  2. Add human_intervention → [referee, complete] to LEGAL_TRANSITIONS (user can send back to referee or mark complete)

Verification

  • status.py --transition complete --task <t> --project . on a decomposition:approved task should succeed
  • status.py --transition referee --task <t> --project . on a human_intervention task should succeed
