Loop guard interrupted prior turn: near-identical reasoning or response repeated without progress. Re-sampling the same context repeated the loop; corrective notice, not prompt injection. Repeating the same plan, summary, or intention loops again. Break pattern now: - STOP narrating intended actions. Issue one concrete normal-format tool call: smallest real next step. - Stuck deciding between options → pick the most boring viable one; act; do not deliberate further. - Task genuinely complete → emit final answer, not more reasoning. Do something different from looped content. Act, don't re-plan.
