Two safety rails on the unattended self-improvement loop:
1. scripts/edit-scope.js + .test.js: pure helpers that parse
`editScope: [...]` out of a proposal frontmatter (the field Phase 6
started writing) and validate a list of changed files against it.
13 tests covering null/missing/malformed frontmatter, directory
prefix matching, exact-file matching, default-scope fallback.
2. scripts/auto-patch.js:
- reads editScope from the proposal (falls back to ["runtime/"])
- injects the allowed paths into the Pi prompt so Pi knows the
boundaries up front
- validates the diff against scope + auto-allows any
runtime/**/*.test.js files Pi added
- runs `npm test` on the patched branch BEFORE cherry-picking;
refuses to land a patch that breaks the suite
Closes the "Smoke checks run before applying patch" item from
plans/autonomous-survival-bot-prd.md §7 Phase 6. npm test now 92/92.
