Plug Stale Task Hole Implementation

Summary

Added stale-task detection, --touch command in status.py, and updated guard plugins to block edits on stale tasks.

Changes

scripts/status.py

  • Added --touch command that resets the activity clock on a task
  • Stale detection: tasks in edit-allowed phases >30 minutes are considered stale
  • --can-edit returns stale_task reason when a task is stale
  • Added stale_task and stale_minutes to JSON output

plugins/automaton-guard/plugin.ts

  • Added stale task detection: if --can-edit returns stale_task reason, the guard blocks with a message suggesting --touch or new task creation
  • Parses staleTask and staleMinutes from JSON response

automaton/dashboard/core/task.py

  • Added stale task awareness in the dashboard

tests/test_task.py

  • Added tests for stale task detection and touch functionality
