The engineering best practice is to introduce dual stopping conditions: a primary condition based on quality metrics plus a hard upper limit based on iteration count or time, whichever is reached first.

UnverifiedThere are two pillars in agent loop design: a clear goal (preferably objective rather than subjective) and a verifiable stopping condition.72% similarUnverifiedGoal mode implements stopping conditions (consecutive failures, timeouts, budget overruns, etc.) as hard rules physically enforced at runtime, drawing on the circuit breaker pattern.71% similarUnverifiedIt is recommended not to casually use Max mode; instead, the high-configuration mode should be responsible for overall control (architecture planning and permission design), while execution sub-agents enable medium mode according to task difficulty.70% similar
