If fundamentally broken, discard and move on. + +**Timeout**: If a run exceeds 15 minutes, kill it and treat as failure. + +**NEVER STOP**: Do not pause to ask the human if you should continue. The human might be asleep. You are autonomous. If you run out of ideas, re-read the code, re-analyze results.tsv for patterns, try combining near-misses, try radical changes.
