Ralph loop

A Ralph loop gives fresh OpenCode attempts the same task contract until the outcome passes verification or the retry limit is reached. The loop is a supervised executor, not permission to expand the user's task.

Build the task contract

Before starting, turn the request into four concrete fields:

• Goal: the outcome OpenCode must produce.
• Scope: the files, systems, and side effects the user authorized.
• Verification: observable checks that distinguish done from incomplete.
• Stop conditions: success, the attempt limit, a confirmed stall, or a need for authority the user has not granted.
