lib.rs

//! ReAct agent loop with self-correction.
//!
//! Minimal v0.0.1 implementation:
//! - Applies guides once at the start.
//! - Sends `Context` (with `tools`) to the model.
//! - Dispatches each returned tool call via [`ToolRegistry`].
//! - Runs `Sensor::SelfCorrect` sensors after each action; auto-fix patches are
//!   applied directly to the world, blocking signals are fed back to the model.
//! - Stops when the model returns no tool calls, or when `policy.max_iters` is hit.
