fix: prevent infinite self-discuss loop in auto/headless mode (#1426)
When running in --auto or headless mode, the discuss step could loop indefinitely — each pass reads its own CONTEXT.md, finds "gaps" in referenced types/interfaces, creates new decisions to fill them, and repeats. Observed: 34 passes, 167 decisions, 7 hours, zero code written. Fixes: - Add max_discuss_passes config (default: 3) to WorkflowConfig - Add single-pass guard instruction to SDK self-discuss prompt - Add pass cap documentation to CLI discuss-phase workflow - Add pass guard step to SDK headless discuss-phase prompt - Add stall detection note to autonomous workflow Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Do NOT re-read your own CONTEXT.md to find "gaps" and do additional passes. The maximum allowed passes is ${maxPasses} — if you have already written CONTEXT.md, you are DONE. Proceed to the next workflow step. Self-referential gap-finding loops waste resources without adding value.`;
