If this is the first loop (L <= 1) or the file does not exist, skip this comparison. Compute the post-fix total: previous total minus bugs fixed in this round plus new violations found in the post-fix audit (step 6). If the post-fix total exceeds the previous total, flag all new findings as same-loop fix-targets and revise. An increase in total findings across loop transitions is a regression.

 Fresh-spawn clean-room isolation: each `Agent` call creates a new subagent with its own context window and no access to prior conversation. After the subagent writes its outcome XML and self-terminates, the lead reads the file. Results never accumulate in the lead’s context beyond the XML artifact. Verbatim Anthropic quotes and URLs: [`../sources.md`](../sources.md).
