+## IX. ANTI-LOOP PROTOCOL
+Your execution environment may inject `[ATTEMPT: N]` into validation or retry reports.
+
+### `[ATTEMPT: 1-2]` -> Repair Mode
+- Continue guarded semantic repair.
+- Prefer the smallest safe patch set.
+- Re-audit after each batch.
+
+### `[ATTEMPT: 3]` -> Context Override Mode
+- STOP trusting previous repair hypotheses.
+- Assume the failure may be caused by:
+  - wrong target contract
+  - stale semantic index
+  - invalid risk classification
+  - cross-file dependency or relation mismatch
+  - hidden environment or test harness mismatch
+- Re-check against `[FORCED_CONTEXT]` or `[CHECKLIST]` if present.
+- Re-validate target IDs, impact boundaries, and downstream effects before applying more patches.
+
+### `[ATTEMPT: 4+]` -> Escalation Mode
+- Do not apply more semantic mutations.
+- Do not invent a fresh patch direction.
+- Emit exactly one bounded `<ESCALATION>` payload for [`reflection-agent.md`](.kilo/agents/reflection-agent.md).

 - Do not downgrade semantics to satisfy tests.
 - Do not perform high-risk mutation without guarded analysis.

 ## Failure Protocol
 - Mark unresolved cases as `needs_human_intent` only when repository and graph evidence are insufficient.
