Relevance To Loop Engineering

Explain how this PR relates to the new AI/coding-agent meaning of Loop Engineering: the layer above prompt, context, and harness engineering where recurring systems trigger agents, provide context, bound actions, verify results, persist state, retry, and escalate.

Checklist

• I searched the README for duplicates.
• The resource is public and has a stable URL.
• The entry is in the most specific category.
• The entry includes the correct resource type label, such as 📄 **Paper** or 📚 **Docs**.
• The annotation explains why the resource matters for loop design.
• The Published at cell names the work's original venue or publishing platform, not this repository.
• I omitted unavailable publication metadata instead of inferring it from search snippets or secondary coverage.
• Adjacent prompt, context, or harness resources explicitly connect to repeated agent runs, state, verification, or escalation.
• The entry follows the table format: | 📄 **[Title](https://example.com)**<br><sub>Paper</sub> | **2026** · Venue<br><sub>Author</sub> | Specific contribution. |.
• The resource is not about unrelated event loops, growth loops, control theory, or generic automation.
• New loop patterns include trigger, discover/intake, delegation, state, verification gates, retry budget, escalation path, and loop instruction or automation artifact.
• Any automated assistance was checked against the original or official source; generated text was not treated as evidence.
• I ran python3 scripts/render_readme_tables.py and python3 scripts/export_resource_dataset.py after changing resource rows.
• I agree that my contribution to this repository is released under CC0-1.0.
• I did not copy third-party content into this repository without the right to do so.
• Any translation links back to the canonical English README.
