CI / build (push) Has been cancelled
Archive completed tasks, add cleanup commands, self-documenting dashboard UI
- Archive 79 completed framework-dev tasks from tasks/ -> tasks/complete/
- status.py: add --cleanup-done and --install-cleanup-schedule commands
- Add scripts/automaton-cleanup.sh for periodic task archiving
- Dashboard: rename 'Background' tab -> 'Agent', 'Cleanup' agent -> 'Completed Task Archiver', remove redundant group headers and pill badges, dim inactive agent placeholders

IMPLEMENTATION.md — Autopilot Runtime

Changes Made

  • Created scripts/autopilot.py — a real Python implementation replacing the pseudocode drive_all() loop
  • Added stuck-task detection to status.py --audit as Category 5

autopilot.py Commands

  • --summary: Shows project task overview (total, terminal, blocked, unblocked, stuck)
  • --drive: Drives one step — finds the most advanced unblocked task and outputs next instructions
  • --loop: Runs continuous drive loop with configurable iterations and delay
  • --stuck: Detects tasks stuck in non-terminal phases >N minutes (default: 60)

How It Works

  • scan_all_tasks() reads .state files from all task directories
  • is_terminal() checks for complete/human_intervention phases
  • needs_user_input() detects approval gates and VERDICT.md with FAIL/NEEDS_REVIEW
  • sort_by_advancement() prioritizes tasks closest to completion
  • detect_stuck_tasks() finds tasks unchanged >60 minutes in non-terminal phases
  • Empty queue outputs actionable instructions to create new tasks
