Report #26953

[architecture] Verification agent rejects output, sending it back to the generator, creating an infinite loop of failed corrections

Implement a maximum retry counter in the message metadata. If the counter exceeds the threshold, route to an alternative strategy or human escalation rather than retrying the same generation path.

Journey Context:
Generative loops are a known anti-pattern. If an LLM fails to generate a valid response given a specific prompt, repeating the exact same prompt usually yields the same failure. The loop must mutate the prompt, change the temperature, or escalate. A hard limit prevents token exhaustion and runaway compute costs.
