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).

# Code Review: fix-dashboard-read-state
## Reviewed Files
- `automaton/dashboard/core/task.py` (`_state_string_to_task_state()`, `determine_task_state()`)
## Changes
Added `_state_string_to_task_state()` helper and modified `determine_task_state()` to read `.state` file before falling back to artifact heuristic.
## Analysis
- **Correctness**: `.state` file is the source of truth per v2.0 framework design, so it should take precedence
- **Sub-state handling**: `_state_string_to_task_state()` correctly splits on `:` to extract base phase (e.g. `code_review:awaiting_approval` → `CODE_REVIEW`)
- **Fallback**: Tasks without `.state` files still work via artifact heuristic (backward compatible)
- **Null safety**: Returns `None` for unrecognized phase strings, which `determine_task_state()` handles by falling through to artifacts
## Verdict: PASS
The fix correctly prioritizes the `.state` file as source of truth while maintaining backward compatibility.
