Fix Loop

A bounded fix-and-verify protocol for resolving confirmed findings from a review pass. Prevents infinite loops by capping attempts and escalating to the user.

When to use

After a two-pass-review (or any review) produces confirmed P0/P1 findings that need fixing. Also after test failures that need code or test fixes.

Protocol

Input

• Findings: confirmed P0/P1 findings conforming to the Output Schema below
• Artifact paths: files to fix
• Criteria: the original criteria the fix must satisfy

Intake filter: Only process findings where verdict = "confirmed" and severity in ["P0", "P1"]. Ignore P2/P3 findings — they are out of scope. Note: findings with verdict: "confirmed" are accepted regardless of source — the caller is responsible for confirmation quality (e.g., plan-runner sets this as an orchestrator escape hatch for per-wave review findings that have no verifier pass).
