autoloop: Reclaim

Forcibly reclaim ownership of a loop that appears stuck (dead owner or stale heartbeat). This skill performs an atomic takeover, increments the generation counter, and logs the event in the revision-log.

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

Arguments

• Positional (optional): a loop identifier. Three forms accepted, all routed through resolve_loop_identifier:
  • <loop_id> — bare 12 hex chars, e.g. 3555bbe1f0fb
  • AL-<slug>--<hash> — display-name with disambiguator, e.g. AL-odb-research--a1b2c3 (matches the on-disk .autoloop/<slug>--<hash>/ directory)
  • AL-<slug> — display-name without disambiguator, e.g. AL-flaky-ci-watcher. Errors with a candidate list if multiple campaigns share the slug.
