Looper

Co-design bounded agent loops with the user: interrogate, challenge, propose. The user decides; nothing is emitted before their explicit ok.

A loop is a bounded control policy around agent work: observe state, act or delegate, validate on evidence, then continue, stop, pause, or escalate. A bound (max iterations, budget, poll interval) only binds where a mechanism enforces it: a runner enforces it in code; a /goal payload or loop artifact merely states it and relies on the executing agent honoring it. Every design names which of the two it relies on.
