Pattern

Interval Loop

Re-run a prompt on a fixed local interval so the agent reacts to an external system that changes on its own. The clock, not a human and not an evaluator, invokes each iteration; the run continues as long as the local session is alive.

Classification — Invocation type (the clock holds the stop decision, locally).
