Fix 10 audit bugs: path prefix matching, verdict parsing, CORS, stale-task detection, phase mapping
Batch 1 (High severity):
- Bug 1: --audit cat3 now checks .automaton/tasks/ paths
- Bug 4: Verdict PASS/FAIL uses structured ## Status: line parsing
- Bug 5: register-guards.sh checks .json/.jsonc, writes plugin key, strips comments
- Bug 7: --can-edit/--scope-check path prefix uses os.sep boundary

Batch 2 (Medium/Low severity):
- Bug 2: migrate-project.sh find command parentheses for -prune binding
- Bug 3: vram_detect model prefix matching with known-suffix whitelist
- Bug 6: dashboard reads .state file before artifact heuristic fallback
- Bug 8: removed wildcard CORS, added security headers (nosniff, DENY)
- Bug 9: stale-task detection uses .state.lastedit instead of .state mtime
- Bug 10: TEST_PLAN.md maps to test_design (was implement)

249 tests pass (up from 235). All 10 tasks driven through full workflow to completion.

Spec: fix-cat3-audit-paths

Problem

_audit_category3() in scripts/status.py:696 checks if changed files are inside task folders using parts[0] == "tasks". This only works for the framework directory (~/.automaton/) where git paths are tasks/mytask/.... For regular projects, task files have git paths like .automaton/tasks/mytask/SPEC.md, where parts[0] is .automaton, not tasks. All task-folder changes are incorrectly flagged as unauthorized.

Fix

Update the path check at scripts/status.py:696 to handle both cases:

  • Framework mode: parts[0] == "tasks" and parts[1] in task_names
  • Regular project: len(parts) >= 3 and parts[0] == ".automaton" and parts[1] == "tasks" and parts[2] in task_names

Acceptance Criteria

  • --audit on a regular project with changes inside .automaton/tasks/ does NOT flag them as unauthorized
  • --audit on the framework directory still works correctly
  • Add a test in tests/test_status.py covering the regular-project path check
