Module 07 Summary

What this module established

Run both loop detectors: the repeat counter catches tight loops early, the ceiling catches drift that never repeats exactly. Over-action is a permissions problem - an agent that answers questions should hold no tool that changes anything.

Carry forward

• A high tool-invention rate means the goal implies capabilities the tool list does not contain. It is a design finding, not a model quirk.
• Give each fact an as-of date and a budget from how often it changes. A two-day approval pause makes everything read before it two days old.
• Silent wrong answers produce no error and no empty output. Only a case set with known answers detects them.

Before moving on

Move on when both detectors exist, over-action has been fixed by removing a capability, and you have demonstrated a failure your monitoring cannot see.
