v0.1.7

v0.1.7 — Middleware Pipeline, Graceful Shutdown & Stability

An autonomous AI development loop for Claude Code / Codex that plans, executes, and iterates automatically.

🚀 New Features

Middleware Pipeline

• Added a composable middleware system with three built-in middleware:
  • Quality Gate — validates outputs before passing them downstream
  • Outcome Recorder — tracks loop results for observability
  • Patrol — monitors loop health and detects anomalies
• Middleware runs in order between each loop iteration, enabling pluggable quality checks without modifying core logic.

Graceful Shutdown

• Loop runner now handles SIGINT/SIGTERM cleanly, finishing the current iteration before exiting instead of dropping mid-flight.

Duplicate Loop Prevention

• Prevents concurrent duplicate loop instances from being spawned, avoiding resource contention and inconsistent state.

🔧 CI Hardening

• Strict clippy -D warnings enforcement across the crate
• Removed overly broad clippy allowlists (disallowed-methods, --all-targets, --all-features) in favour of targeted fixes
• Fixed cargo fmt compliance throughout
• Added regex dependency to looper-e2e for proper test compilation
• Simplified CI pipeline to reliable fmt + clippy + build stages

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Stripped ANSI escape codes and LOOPER_RESULT markers from captured output
• Fixed review comment feedback and broken links in documentation
• Fixed format! on static string lint in daemon module
• Resolved missing agent_vendor and model fields in test RunRecord initializers
• Cleaned up unused imports
