Lap Tran bc7daf8590 Restore archived tasks, fix dashboard scroll-reset, bind ornith, add Playwright smoke test

- **Restore 82 completed tasks** from tasks/complete/ back to tasks/ top
  level (all <7 days old per the cleanup policy; premature bulk archive
  was fixed).
- **Dashboard: fix scroll-reset on auto-refresh** — renderBoard rebuilds
  the board via innerHTML every 2s, destroying each column-body's
  scrollTop. Now snapshots column-body scrollTop + board.scrollLeft +
  view.scrollTop before rebuild and restores after (matched by
  PHASE_GROUPS index).
- **Dashboard UI additions** (pre-existing unstaged work): approval
  section cards, transition buttons, inline artifact editor (textarea for
  writing missing SPEC/VERDICT/etc from the detail modal).
- **Bind ornith as Implement model** — config.md: Model explicit to
  omlx/Ornith-1.0-35B-4bit-mlx, context window 32768. Interactive
  autopilot already used ornith via opencode default; now explicit.
- **Fix cleanup stub** — automaton-cleanup.sh had a stale --project arg
  pointing at a pytest temp dir (test isolation leak). Rewired to point
  at ~/.automaton.
- **Fix plist-isolation test** — test asserted host plist doesn't exist,
  but a real install creates it. Now snapshots mtime before run, asserts
  unchanged after (only a write during the test counts as bleed).
- **New Playwright smoke test** (tests/test_dashboard_ui.py) — 2 tests:
  board renders tasks, column scroll survives auto-refresh tick.
  Verified the test fails without the scroll fix (scrollTop resets to 0).
  Skipped via importorskip when playwright is absent (main CI stays
  green).
- **Clarify SI loop scope in README** — new-project onboarding section
  documents the framework-scoped self-improvement loop and options
  (leave/pause/create project loop).
- **CHANGELOG** documents all changes including the known model-divergence
  gap (mde tasks marked complete but per-role model binding was never
  implemented).

VERDICT: add-goal-mode

Status: PASS

Task delivers goal-oriented loop extensions: work-source dispatch (single/audit/backlog), verifier prompt token plumbing ({task_brief}, {acceptance_criteria}, {next_hint}), next_hint feedback loop closure, --audit --json machine-readable mode, and ci-triage template updates. All changes are in scripts/loop-runner.py, scripts/status.py, templates/loops/ci-triage/loop.json, and tests/test_goal_mode.py.

Requirement coverage

Req	Status	Tests
R1 find_work dispatch	delivered	TestFindWorkDispatch (3)
R2 audit work_source	delivered	TestAuditWorkSource (4)
R3 backlog work_source	delivered	TestBacklogWorkSource (3)
R4 verifier tokens	delivered	TestVerifierTokens (4)
R5 _truncate_tokens	delivered	TestTruncateTokens (3)
R6 next_hint feedback loop	delivered	TestNextHintFeedback (2)
R7 loop.json schema additions	delivered	TestLoopJsonSchemaAdditions (3)
R8 --audit --json	delivered	TestAuditJson (3)
Regression backward compat	delivered	TestRegressionBackwardCompat (1)

Tests: 26 new. Full suite: 354 passed (was 328 + 26 new). No regressions.

Goal-mode loop closure

Work discovery: single (unchanged), audit (highest-severity violation), backlog (top unchecked BACKLOG.md item). Missing/unknown falls back to single with WARNING.
Goal injection: {task_brief} from RESEARCH/DESIGN/SPEC.md, {acceptance_criteria} from loop.json, {next_hint} from last verdict -- all truncated and fed to both Implement and Verify roles.
Feedback loop: tick N's verifier next_hint becomes tick N+1's {next_hint} context. First tick / post-approve: empty string (no KeyError).
Audit integration: --audit --json produces the violation list the audit work source consumes. Self-healing: violations without tasks trigger --create-task.

Defense against loop death modes -- unchanged

The runner's brake enforcement is unchanged from task 3. Goal-mode additions are purely additive to the work-discovery and token-substitution layers; they do not touch gate logic, state-write atomicity, or halt semantics. The no_work skip reason is a clean scheduler exit (exit 0, no state advance) -- same pattern as no_current_task.

Agnosticism preserved

Harness-agnostic: new tokens are substitution placeholders in harness.command; only active when the operator's command template includes them. Default command unchanged.
OS-agnostic: no platform-specific code added. --audit --json is pure Python.
Model-agnostic: runner still never inspects model size/provider. Goal tokens are text content, not model directives.

Doc impact landed

CHANGELOG.md [unreleased] entry for add-goal-mode (test counts updated to actual).
design/loops/technical.md schema section already documents work_source and acceptance_criteria.
design/loops/functional.md already documents the fields.
templates/loops/ci-triage/loop.json updated with explicit fields.

No code-doc mismatches.

Hardening items deferred (tracked in BUG_REPORT + ADVERSARIAL_BUG_REPORT)

work_source.area path-traversal validation (A3) -> v1.1 defense-in-depth.
current_task from audit JSON path-traversal validation (A5) -> v1.1 defense-in-depth.
_truncate_tokens marker edge case with tiny budgets (O5) -> v1.1.

All three are explicit follow-ups; none block this task.

Resolution

PASS -- proceed to complete. Task 4 closes the goal-oriented loop on the runner side. With work-source dispatch, acceptance-criteria injection, and next_hint feedback, the runner can now drive loops that discover their own work (audit/backlog) and improve across ticks. Remaining tasks: 5 (blast-radius-scheduler), 6 (templates-onboarding), 7 (self-improvement-loop), 8 (install-update-flow), 9 (move-completed-tasks).
