Progress nudge: turn-budget checkpoints against slow-burn thrash - #54
Merged
Conversation
At configurable fractions of maxTurns (default 50% and 80%), a transient system note is injected into that call only: re-read the objective, stop grinding a single stubborn subproblem, switch approach or report. Catches the failure loop detection can't see — hundreds of slightly-different attempts at one subgoal, observed live as 2×200-turn runs on one flaky XCUITest while the actual task sat untouched.
