Ralph Status Reporting

Overview

The Ralph status block is a structured, machine-parseable progress report included at the end of every autonomous loop iteration. It enables automated monitoring, exit detection, and progress tracking. The format is rigid and must be followed exactly — machine parsing depends on consistent structure.

Announce at start: "Producing RALPH_STATUS block for this iteration."

Trigger Conditions

• End of every autonomous loop iteration (mandatory)
• After BUILD phase completes in the autonomous loop
• When monitoring systems need progress data
• When exit gate evaluation is needed
• When the autonomous-loop skill invokes this skill
