harness_loop/lib.rs
1//! ReAct agent loop with self-correction.
2//!
3//! Minimal v0.0.1 implementation:
4//! - Applies guides once at the start.
5//! - Sends `Context` (with `tools`) to the model.
6//! - Dispatches each returned tool call via [`ToolRegistry`].
7//! - Runs `Sensor::SelfCorrect` sensors after each action; auto-fix patches are
8//! applied directly to the world, blocking signals are fed back to the model.
9//! - Stops when the model returns no tool calls, when `policy.max_iters` is
10//! hit, or when a stuck-detector ([`StuckPolicy`], [`MonotonyPolicy`]) says
11//! the run is spinning.
