terminal-bench-loop

Automated iterative diagnosis for Terminal-Bench tasks is managed through a bounded loop that repeatedly executes, diagnoses failures, and facilitates human-in-the-loop approval workflows until completion or stopping conditions are met.

Issue resolution loops in Terminal-Bench workflows are managed by coordinating precise diagnosis, block detection, and stop reasons with strict invariants for progress and boundedness, ensuring detailed failure analysis across multiple automated iterations.

Stopping conditions and bounded cycles are enforced for Terminal-Bench problem iterations through strict invariants that track progress and blockers, ensuring the automation halts appropriately and facilitates human-in-the-loop validation.

Human-in-the-loop validation during Terminal-Bench failure analysis works by pausing the iterative execution loop to present detailed diagnosis and block detection results, requiring human approval before proceeding to the next bounded cycle.

Paperclip is required to run bounded iteration and smoke test loops for Terminal-Bench, as it enables the automated repetition, issue diagnosis, and stopping condition coordination needed for complex troubleshooting workflows.

A Terminal-Bench issue loop stops before passing smoke tests when block detection identifies a stopping condition or invariant bound is reached, triggering detailed failure analysis and human-in-the-loop validation rather than continuing unbounded cycles.
