A capable model is not a delivery process. The useful work begins when a model can observe the result of its own actions.
A loop has evidence
Plan, implement, test, inspect, and revise. Each stage should leave evidence that the next stage can use.
Start narrower
A small loop with a real test is more valuable than a grand autonomous system with no way to detect failure.
Design for recovery
The best loop makes a mistake visible, limits blast radius, and gives the operator a clean way to intervene.
