• README.md — full loop, stop conditions, domain extension

Setup

node tools/bin/env-gate.mjs CHEAPERLLM_API_KEY
node tools/bin/mcp-probe.mjs https://mcp.cheaperllm.com/mcp --key CHEAPERLLM_API_KEY
node tools/bin/mcp-probe.mjs https://mcp.anymodl.com/mcp --key ANYMODL_API_KEY
node tools/bin/session-tape.mjs init --out ./tapes/run.jsonl

Loop steps

1. Plan — paste 01-mission-brief + 12-credit-budget
2. Act — smallest tool; cheap routes for classify, strong for multi-file edits
3. Observe — validate with ask-json.mjs; never invent success
4. Tape — session-tape.mjs record every tool call
5. Decide — success → stop; budget hit → postmortem

Hard stops

• Missing env secrets
• Write outside allowed paths
• Spend exceeds mission brief cap
• Two consecutive schema validation failures
