s17: Goal Loop
The model not calling another tool means that one turn wants to stop. A goal
adds a session-scoped Stop hook: a separate evaluator reads the conversation,
decides whether the completion condition holds, and sends unfinished work back
through the same agent loop.
Run:
python s17_goal_loop/code.py
python s17_goal_loop/code.py "/goal pytest tests exits with code 0"
The live path uses the Anthropic API for both the worker and the evaluator.
Test doubles belong in tests only.
