CI / build (push) Has been cancelled
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)

# VERDICT: Phase-Scoped Prompts
## Summary
Added ALLOWED/FORBIDDEN sections to all 9 phase prompts, approval gates for research/design/decompose/test_design, user override resistance instructions, pre-work validation via `--validate-folder`, and `.state` precondition checks. orchestrate.md reduced from 493 to 143 lines by removing duplicated state machine logic.
## Phase Results
| Phase | Result |
|-------|--------|
| Implementation | ✅ PASS |
| Bug Find | ✅ PASS (1 minor finding — decompose.md over 150 lines) |
| Adversarial Bug Find | ✅ PASS |
| Doc Review | ✅ PASS |
## Findings
- All 9 prompts have ALLOWED/FORBIDDEN sections
- Approval gates correctly placed only in research, decomposition, design, test_design
- User override resistance instructions added to all prompts
- Pre-work validation (`--validate-folder`) mandated in all prompts
- orchestrate.md reduced from 493 to 143 lines (71% reduction)
- Minor: decompose.md exceeds 150-line soft target — content is necessary
## Final Verdict
**PASS** — All acceptance criteria met. Phase scoping is complete and consistent across all prompts.
Score: +10
