Create state file with your task 2. You work on it normally 3. When you try to exit, stop hook intercepts 4. Same prompt fed back to you 5. You see previous work and iterate 6. Complete when promise detected or max iterations CRITICAL: Only output completion promise when completely TRUE. Do not lie to exit the loop.
