The edit-test-fail loop.

Claude makes a change, a test fails, Claude tries something else, that fails too. The --max-turns cap stops it, but the loop can burn real money before tripping.

Mitigation: drop a CLAUDE.md at the repo root with the exact test command. Most loops happen because Claude can't figure out how to run the suite. The headless CLI reads CLAUDE.md on startup.
