- **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).

# Implementation: Phase-Scoped Prompts with Forbidden Actions
|
|
|
|
## Changes Made
|
|
|
|
### 1. ALLOWED/FORBIDDEN sections in all phase prompts
|
|
Each phase prompt now includes:
|
|
- **ALLOWED ACTIONS** — explicit list of what the agent can do
|
|
- **FORBIDDEN ACTIONS** — explicit list of what the agent cannot do, including "Do NOT" instructions and handling user overrides
|
|
|
|
Phase-specific definitions:
|
|
- research.md: ALLOWED read/ask questions/write SPEC.md; FORBIDDEN edit code, create IMPLEMENTATION.md, skip to implementation
|
|
- decompose.md: ALLOWED read SPEC/ask questions/write DECOMPOSITION.md; FORBIDDEN edit code, modify SPEC.md, create sub-task folders
|
|
- design.md: ALLOWED read SPEC/ask questions/write DESIGN.md; FORBIDDEN edit code, create IMPLEMENTATION.md, skip to implementation
|
|
- test_design.md: ALLOWED read SPEC+DESIGN/ask questions/write TEST_PLAN.md; FORBIDDEN edit code, write test implementations
|
|
- implement.md: ALLOWED edit code/write tests/create IMPLEMENTATION.md; FORBIDDEN create new tasks, modify SPEC/DESIGN
|
|
- bug_finder.md: ALLOWED read code/SPEC/IMPLEMENTATION/write BUG_REPORT.md; FORBIDDEN edit code, fix bugs
|
|
- adversarial_bug_find.md: ALLOWED read code/SPEC/BUG_REPORT/write ADVERSARIAL_BUG_REPORT.md; FORBIDDEN edit code, fix bugs
|
|
- doc_review.md: ALLOWED read DESIGN/code/docs/write DOC_REVIEW.md/update docs; FORBIDDEN edit non-doc code, modify SPEC/DESIGN
|
|
- referee.md: ALLOWED read all artifacts/write VERDICT.md; FORBIDDEN edit code, modify any artifact other than VERDICT.md
|
|
- orchestrate.md: ALLOWED read .state/transition state/create tasks/delegate; FORBIDDEN edit code directly, skip phases
|
|
|
|
### 2. User override resistance
|
|
Each prompt includes a "Handling User Overrides" section telling agents to refuse forbidden actions and suggest the correct phase.
|
|
|
|
### 3. `.state` precondition check
|
|
Every phase prompt includes `.state` as the first file to read, with instructions to STOP if the phase doesn't match.
|
|
|
|
### 4. Pre-Work Validation (MANDATORY)
|
|
Every phase prompt requires running `python ~/.automaton/scripts/status.py --validate-folder --task {task-name}` before starting work.
|
|
|
|
### 5. Approval gates
|
|
- research.md, decompose.md, design.md, test_design.md: include Approval Gate section with `--transition {phase}:awaiting_approval`, `--approve`, and `--transition {next-phase}`
|
|
- implement.md, bug_finder.md, adversarial_bug_find.md, doc_review.md, referee.md: include "No Approval Gate" section with direct `--transition`
|
|
|
|
### 6. Orchestrate.md restructuring
|
|
- Reduced from 493 to 143 lines
|
|
- State determination logic referenced from workflow.md
|
|
- Sub-task management extracted to subtask_management.md
|
|
- Gate-check loop with `--validate-folder` and approval pauses
|
|
|
|
