Implementation: Fix Verdict Parsing and State Machine Alignment

Summary

  • Added parse_verdict_status() function to task.py that uses structured status-line parsing (## Status:, - **Status**:) before falling back to substring search
  • Fixed determine_task_state() to use structured verdict parsing, eliminating false-BLOCKED classification when PASS verdicts discuss failures
  • Aligned state machine with orchestrator spec: IMPLEMENTATION.md alone → BUG_FIND (not IMPLEMENT), ADVERSARIAL_BUG_REPORT alone → BUG_FIND (not ADV_BUG_FIND)
  • Added filesystem-sourced task name validation in discover_tasks() and parse_sub_tasks() — directories with characters outside [A-Za-z0-9_-] are skipped
  • Added comprehensive test classes: TestVerdictParsing, TestStateMachineAlignment, TestTaskNameValidation
  • Updated existing test_implementation_state to reflect new state machine behavior

Changes

  • automaton/dashboard/core/task.py: Added parse_verdict_status(), _VALID_TASK_NAME_CHARS, rewrote determine_task_state(), added name validation to discover_tasks() and parse_sub_tasks()
  • tests/test_task.py: Added 16 new tests, updated 1 existing test

Test Results

90 passed in 0.06s (full suite)

Decisions

  • Kept substring fallback for unstructured verdicts for backward compatibility
  • ADVERSARIAL_BUG_REPORT alone now maps to BUG_FIND (not ADV_BUG_FIND) per orchestrator spec clarification
  • State machine checks are: DOC_REVIEW → both bug reports → BUG_REPORT alone → ADV alone → IMPLEMENTATION alone → TEST_PLAN → DESIGN → DECOMPOSITION → SPEC → BACKLOG
