# Code Review: add-claim-loop-task

## Files reviewed
- `scripts/status.py` — `_claim_loop_task_impl`, `cmd_claim_loop_task`, `--claim-loop-task` arg + dispatch
- `scripts/loop-runner.py` — claim (step 3.5) and release (step 9.5) in `cmd_tick`
- `tests/test_claim_loop_task.py` — 10 tests

## Summary
All requirements met:
1. `--claim-loop-task` subprocess command with correct exit codes (0=claimed, 2=already claimed/untracked/missing args)
2. Cross-loop scan checks running and paused loops; halted loops' claims persist
3. Self-ownership is idempotent (no state re-write)
4. Runner calls claim subprocess with `$AUTOMATON_NO_LOOP_LOCK=1` to avoid deadlock
5. Release on terminal phase (complete/human_intervention) after orchestrate
6. No release on non-terminal phases
7. 10/10 tests passing

## Issues
None found.
