Testing the Loop That Runs While You Sleep
The 15-phase run found five bugs in kodr2's loop scripts, and four of them failed silently - the run looked healthy while it was already broken. So the scripts finally got tests: a scripted kodr on PATH, a real temp git repo, 31 cases in nine seconds. Then the drift guard turned out to need a guard of its own.

Looping a One-Shot Harness
Claude Code sorts agent loops by trigger and stop condition. Where does a zero-dep, one-shot harness sit? It already has the per-iteration parts - the outer loop is a shell script. The one thing a shell can't fake is a fuzzy stop condition, so kodr2 gets a `goal` command: iterate until a read-only model judge says met. The first live run caught one real bug, the next caught three more, and a 15-phase build over two long runs caught five more - one of them a fix that regressed before it stuck.

The Context Firewall
Phases 90-93 of kodr: hybrid skill-driven orchestration, where the implementer stops drowning in its own accumulating context and each file gets an isolated author that sees its siblings' interfaces but never their code.

Async Runs and Prompt Caching
Phases 85-87 of kodr: the web sketch grows into a task-shaped control plane with SSE, a conservative provider-aware prompt cache, and a context packer split into stable and volatile sections so a prefix cache has a chance.

Hooks, Harder - and a Splash of Color
Phases 77-79 of kodr: command hooks promoted to a real user surface with a Stop control, a named hook lifecycle that follows the sandbox, and zero-dependency ANSI color for the TUI.

Install It, Plan It, Heal It
Phases 65, 71 and 72 of kodr: a controlled dependency install so generated apps can actually run, a plan-then-execute self-dev acceptance test (and the local tool-call bug it found), and a bounded self-healing repair loop that feeds real verification failures back to the model.

kodr Edits kodr
Phases 54-56: three self-development trials where a local model edits the harness's own source. A scorecard of what broke, the harness fixes each failure forced, and the two-location bug that keeps catching small models.

A Task List the Harness Can Read
Phase 19 of kodr: a small task-plan primitive so a run can say what it thinks is done, blocked, or still pending. Early days - there is a fair bit still to come here.

Autonomy, but on a Leash
Phase 14 of kodr: repeating a run for as long as it is useful, with a hard cycle count and explicit stop words so it never runs away.

One Repair, Then Stop
Phase 13 of kodr: when verification fails, let the model try to fix it exactly once - and no more.

Drawing the Workflow Before Hiring the Agents
Phase 12 of kodr: staged multi-agent coordination, modelled as plain deterministic data before a single extra model call is added.

The First Full Coding Loop
Phase 10 of kodr: the moment all the careful little modules connect into a real prompt-to-patch loop.
