nisse-dev now runs only the conversational loop. The gated state machine
it was built alongside is gone:
- Removed control.py, planner.py, executor.py, approvals.py, gates.py
(command_form moves to loop/reader.py), publish.py and poller.py, the
old assembly in agent.py (its shared helpers move to loop/build.py),
the store's state-machine view (get_state, transition), their tests,
the old end-to-end and live planning/milestone/gate tests, and
specs/orchestrator.qnt with its scenarios.
- Roles are driver, helper, expert and classifier; driver is required.
loop:, roles.planner, roles.executor and tuning.executor are refused
with what to use instead; tuning.driver takes the turn cap and failure
limit.
- The benchmark and the capability matrix measure the driver: the
loop's own system prompt and tools, the task's plan as the agreed
restatement. Task plans end with finish_milestone, so earlier runs
show as (old); stored runs' executor tuning reads as the driver's.
- A delegation on the loop records what its helper's alias resolved to
(L9), as the old path's did.
- The dump shows a work item's revision and what it waits for.
- Behaviour the old tests covered and the loop shares stays covered:
driver runs that fail on a model call, stop mid-turn, reset the
failure count; go-aheads ignoring case and punctuation; a request too
big to fit is never sent; the assembly tests, now on build_loop_agent.

nisse_dev.loop runs alongside control.py, chosen with `loop: new`.
Issues assigned to the agent (by an operator, or filed by one) become work
items, each with a Matrix thread. A driver run is one model with tools
until it calls a waiting tool: restate puts rev-N up for a go-ahead, bound
to the revision on screen when the reply arrived; ask_human waits for an
answer; close_item closes the item and its issue. Before the go-ahead the
driver can look but not change or close anything. One item is active at a
time; replies in an item's thread go to it. On boot, an item cut off
mid-run waits on the operator, and waiting points are put up again.
