Spec: fix-cat3-audit-paths

Problem

_audit_category3() in scripts/status.py:696 checks if changed files are inside task folders using parts[0] == "tasks". This only works for the framework directory (~/.automaton/) where git paths are tasks/mytask/.... For regular projects, task files have git paths like .automaton/tasks/mytask/SPEC.md, where parts[0] is .automaton, not tasks. All task-folder changes are incorrectly flagged as unauthorized.

Fix

Update the path check at scripts/status.py:696 to handle both cases:

  • Framework mode: parts[0] == "tasks" and parts[1] in task_names
  • Regular project: len(parts) >= 3 and parts[0] == ".automaton" and parts[1] == "tasks" and parts[2] in task_names

Acceptance Criteria

  • --audit on a regular project with changes inside .automaton/tasks/ does NOT flag them as unauthorized
  • --audit on the framework directory still works correctly
  • Add a test in tests/test_status.py covering the regular-project path check
