----
-
-Read the workplan at `/home/worsch/reuse-surface/workplans/REUSE-WP-0003-intent-scope-gap-closure.md`.
-
-If every task has `status: done` AND frontmatter `status: done`:
-run `rm -f .claude/ralph-loop.local.md` first (deactivates the loop so the stop hook exits cleanly),
-then output <promise>HEUREKA</promise>.
-
-Otherwise implement the next `todo` task as described in the workplan.
-Set task `in_progress` when starting, `done` when complete.
-When all tasks are done set frontmatter `status: done`.
