Verification Gates & Self-Correction Loop

To ensure repository stability, all major changes must pass through a series of "Verification Gates."

The Gates

1. •Build Gate: npm run build (or equivalent).
2. •Test Gate: npm test (or equivalent).
3. •Lint Gate: npm run lint or ruff check.

The Self-Correction Workflow

Whenever a gate fails (e.g., via the gate tool), follow this loop:

1. •Capture: Inspect the stderr and stdout provided by the gate tool.
2. •Analyze: Explicitly state the root cause of the failure.
3. •Fix: Apply a patch or modification to address the cause.
4. •Retry: Re-run the gate tool with the same command.

Retry Budget

• •You have a Retry Budget of 5 attempts.
• •If the gate still fails after 5 tries, STOP IMMEDIATELY and ask the human user for intervention. Do not continue trying variations.

Operational Guidance

Always run the gate tool for any verification step. If a gate fails, announce "SELF-CORRECTION LOOP START [Attempt X/5]".
