Iteration Steps

Each loop iteration performs:

1. Build + Test — compile and run test suite
2. Farm collect — gather training metrics from Railway
3. Fitness sync — sync SWE agent fitness scores
4. Arena baseline — run local benchmark

Examples

tri loop                           # Single iteration
tri loop status                    # Check last state
tri loop continuous -i 600         # Run every 10 minutes
tri loop retry --task "fix build"  # Retry until build passes
tri loop retry --issue 42 --max-iter 5  # Retry with GitHub tracking
