UnverifiedHaving the stop instructions changed is the most dangerous case among modifications to prompt behavior logic; the Agent will keep running until it hits the maximum iteration limit.73% similarUnverifiedThe three common termination conditions for an agent loop are: the model gives a response that no longer calls any tool, the step limit is reached, or human approval is awaited.69% similarUnverifiedThe number of closed-loop repair attempts should be capped (typically 3–5 times) to prevent Agents from falling into infinite repair loops.69% similarUnverifiedThe validation step has an automatic feedback loop: if the Agent reviews the after screenshot and finds the feature is not truly complete, it will return to the build step on its own and continue.69% similarUnverifiedEach approval gate specifies at which step, what type of action, why human intervention is needed, and whether the action is reversible; the Agent blocks and waits for up to five minutes, and cleanly aborts upon timeout.69% similar
