v2.0: state enforcement, project scoping, harness integration
State Enforcement (v2.0):
- .state file as single source of truth for task phase
- Approval gates for research, decomposition, design, test_design
- status.py --transition refuses illegal phase transitions
- status.py --validate-folder detects out-of-order artifacts
- status.py --audit checks all tasks for violations
- status.py --create-task is the only valid way to create tasks
- Pre-v2.0 tasks without .state are UNTRACKED -- all commands refuse them
- New --upgrade command bootstraps .state files for existing tasks

Project Scoping:
- --project flag added to all status.py commands across 16+ files
- _find_project_dir errors instead of silently falling back to ~/.automaton/
- --scope-check marks framework files OUT_OF_SCOPE when working on a project
- Dashboard handlers use stored project_root instead of re-detecting from CWD
- Prompts reference ~/.automaton/scripts/vram_detect.py (not {project}/.automaton/)

Harness Integration:
- status.py --can-edit now supports project-level checks (no --task required)
- --can-edit --file checks file scope without --task
- --json output for machine-readable harness integration
- opencode plugin (plugins/automaton-guard/plugin.ts) intercepts edit/write
- Git pre-commit hook (scripts/git-hooks/pre-commit) blocks commits without task
- Formal integration contract (contracts/harness-integration.md)

Other:
- upgrade.sh delegates to status.py --upgrade instead of manual heuristics
- Phase prompts reference --project {project} for multi-project scoping
- 200 tests passing (14 new)

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
