• The Decision Framework — Should This Be a Loop at All? — The pattern picker takes for granted that a loop is warranted. This page is the checkpoint that comes before it: four tests a task has to clear before…

• Worked Example — Designing the Dependency-Update Loop — Make-your-own-loop defines the six moves, A through F. This page applies them to one substantial, real project — automated dependency updates — so you…
