A loop is only trustworthy when the feedback around it is stronger than the motion inside it.
The selected undertext record points at a simple distinction: the loop itself is not the magic. The useful part is the proof trail, the review standard, the budget, and the stopping rule that keep a system from confusing repetition with progress.
That changes what ownership means. Once a builder designs the loop, the work is no longer just doing the task. The work is deciding what evidence the loop must return, what kind of review can catch drift, and where the system should stop instead of pretending to know.
This draft stays a candidate because the bridge is only allowed to prepare the thought for review. It does not publish, promote undertext, or accept anything. Jared still has to decide whether this belongs in public view.
