# IMPLEMENTATION: add-self-improvement-loop

## Summary

Wired the self-improvement loop into `install.sh` (default-on for fresh installs) and `update.sh` (idempotent bootstrap for existing users). Both use `status.py --create-loop self-improvement --from-template self-improvement` and `--install-schedule self-improvement --interval 3600` with `|| true` to ensure the framework continues to work even if loop creation fails.

## Changes

### R1 -- `scripts/install.sh`

Added after guard registration (inside the `else` block, before `fi`):
- `--create-loop self-improvement --from-template self-improvement --project "$FRAMEWORK_DIR"` with `|| true`
- `--install-schedule self-improvement --interval 3600 --project "$FRAMEWORK_DIR"` with `|| true`
- User-facing message about the self-improvement loop and how to disable it with `--pause-loop`

### R2 -- `scripts/update.sh`

Added after guard registration:
- Idempotent check: `if [ ! -d "$FRAMEWORK_DIR/loops/self-improvement" ]`
- Same `--create-loop` and `--install-schedule` commands with `|| true`
- Info message when the loop is created

### R3 -- `tests/test_self_improvement_loop.py`

16 tests across 4 classes:
- `TestInstallShWiring` (5 tests): verify install.sh contains create-loop, install-schedule, opt-out message, framework project, and `|| true`
- `TestUpdateShWiring` (4 tests): verify update.sh contains create-loop, idempotent check, install-schedule, and `|| true`
- `TestSelfImprovementTemplate` (5 tests): verify template fields (audit work source, brakes, worktree, file scope, role prompts)
- `TestCreateLoopFromTemplate` (2 tests): simulate `--create-loop self-improvement --from-template self-improvement` and verify directory structure; verify duplicate creation is refused

### R4 -- Documentation

- `CHANGELOG.md`: task 7 entry under `[unreleased]`
- `README.md`: note that self-improvement loop is default-on at install
- `design/loops/technical.md` section 9: note that install.sh creates it default-on

## Verification

- `bash -n scripts/install.sh scripts/update.sh` -- OK
- `python3 -m pytest tests/test_self_improvement_loop.py -v` -- 16 passed
- `python3 -m pytest tests/ -q` -- 409 passed (393 + 16 new)
