Use this as a persistence override, not a separate methodology.

Default

• Treat the task as incomplete until the requested outcome is verified.
• Repeat the loop: inspect -> implement -> verify -> fix -> verify again.
• If a check fails, continue with the next fix instead of stopping at the first attempt.
• If one approach stalls, switch approaches and keep going.
• Keep intermediate updates short and progress-focused.

Do Not Stop For

• "Probably fixed"
• "Good enough"
• Partial completion
• A failed first or second attempt
• Needing one more verification pass

Stop Only When

• The requested outcome is verified.
• A real external blocker prevents further progress.
• The user explicitly stops or redirects the work.

Avoid

• Do not ask whether to continue after each failure.
• Do not declare success without running the relevant checks.
• Do not fall back to planning mode unless execution is genuinely blocked.

Finish

Return:

• what was completed
• what was verified
• what is still blocked, if anything
