Loop v1 session state — FINAL

All 9 loop v1 bootstrap tasks are COMPLETE. Loop v1 implementation is finished.

WARNING: This supersedes the stale vector-store entry that said "3 of 9 complete, task 4 next". That was a mid-session checkpoint. All work is done. Do NOT resume task 4; it is already complete.

Completed tasks (all .state == complete)

1. fix-context-sizing — vram_detect.py rewritten; --loop-mode flag, 16k floor (D13). In tasks/complete/.
2. add-status-brakes — status.py loop extensions: .state.loop schema, --create-loop, --install-schedule, --check-gate (6 gates), --approve --loop, --can-edit --loop, --loop-list, Cat-6 audit, R8 transition refusal. 46 tests.
3. add-loop-runner — scripts/loop-runner.py (NEW, stdlib): --mode tick (11-step flow), --mode daemon. Verdict parser raw/fenced/commented JSON. 18 tests.
4. add-goal-mode — verifier session + graded JSON, score circuit-breaker. COMPLETE.
5. add-blast-radius-scheduler — --can-edit --loop-worktree, worktree creation, platform.system() dispatch. COMPLETE.
6. add-loop-templates-onboarding — templates/loops/{ci-triage,self-improvement}/, prompts/loop-{implement,verifier,orchestrate}.md, onboarding. COMPLETE.
7. add-self-improvement-loop — default-on at install (D21). COMPLETE.
8. fix-install-update-flow — user-supplied git URL (D11), .venv cwd bug, Windows path, hook symlinks. COMPLETE.
9. move-completed-tasks-to-complete-folder — --transition complete moves task dir to tasks/complete/. Dogfooded: moved itself to tasks/complete/move-completed-tasks-to-complete-folder/.

Test suite

433 passed (baseline was 264; gained 169 across the 9 tasks).

Loop v1 feature set delivered

• .state.loop schema + status.py brakes layer
• loop-runner.py tick + daemon modes
• 6 brake gates, human --approve mandatory (D4)
• 16k context floor (D13)
• per-loop git worktree blast radius (D2)
• self-improvement loop default-on at install (D21)
• templates/loops/ + onboarding prompts
• completed-tasks relocation

Deferred to v1.1

Tracked in design/loops/BACKLOG.md:

• fcntl lock on .state.loop (TOCTOU race)
• parse_verdict score clamp + pass string coercion
• outputs.retention in loop.json
• --claim-loop-task atomic ownership
• blast_radius.base_branch parameterization
• _enable_schedule Linux parity with Darwin/Windows

Next

No further loop v1 work. To resume, check design/loops/BACKLOG.md for v1.1 hardening items or start fresh feature work.
