VERDICT: Dashboard Phase Grouping

Summary

The dashboard has been modified to group the 12 Kanban columns into 5 logical phase groups. The header now shows the project name instead of the scope indicator. Cards display sub-labels with their specific state.

Changes Made

1. Phase Grouping (dashboard.js)

Defined 5 phase groups: Planning, Design, Implementation, Verification, Resolution
Board now renders grouped columns instead of 12 individual columns
Empty groups are hidden (only groups with tasks are shown)
Group column headers show the group name and count with colored indicators

2. Card Sub-labels (dashboard.js)

Each card now displays a sub-label with the specific state (e.g., "🔬 Research", "🐛 Bug Find")
State icons are defined in STATE_ICONS mapping

3. Header Change (dashboard.js + app.py)

Added /api/project-name endpoint that reads from .automaton/project-name.md, README.md, or falls back to directory name
Header now shows project name (📂 Automaton) instead of scope indicator (🏗 Framework / 📁 Project)

4. Stats View (dashboard.js)

Stats view now shows both phase group breakdown and individual state breakdown
Phase group bars are color-coded with group colors

5. Timeline View (dashboard.js)

Timeline now shows 5 phase group indicators instead of 12 individual states
Legend shows phase group colors

6. Detail Panel (dashboard.js)

Detail panel now shows phase group badge next to status

7. CSS Updates (styles.css)

Added column-header data-color styles for phase groups
Added task-card-sublabel style
Added detail-phase-badge style
