The feedback loop is what most people miss when they build these systems. You spin up the agent, it submits a PR, CI goes red, and suddenly you're back to being the bottleneck you were trying to eliminate.

One thing I ran into building something similar, agents are surprisingly good at fixing the exact error message they're given, but terrible at recognizing when they're going in circles. After the third retry on the same failing test, you're not getting a fix, you're getting increasingly creative excuses for why the test is wrong.

How deep does the self-healing go? Is there a retry limit before it escalates, or does it just keep going until you manually intervene?
