Ask HN: How do you get AI loops to converge?
For any arbitrary coding task, how can a Ralph loop break out of a local minima and converge, such that, even if the loop runs again, there are no tasks left to complete? These tasks are somewhat non-deterministic due to cross-interactions which make their stop conditions hard to define ahead of time (e.g a complex GUI) I want to learn more resources for loop engineering, deterministic tooling etc. What I am noticing is the agents/subagents oscillate between repeatedly patching the same bits of

需求判断
将报告的任务或障碍作为访谈线索。功能请求、抱怨或替代方案搜索本身并不能确定预算负责人或付费意愿。
商业证据缺口
待补证据：受影响的独立用户、重复发生场景、当前绕行方案、实际时间或金钱成本、采购权限，以及对具体报价的响应。
