 ## Gitea Workflow Loop
 
-After pushing commits that trigger a Gitea workflow, Codex agents must keep checking the resulting workflow run before finishing. Poll the run until it reaches a terminal state. If it succeeds, report the successful run. If it fails or is cancelled, inspect the failing job/logs, fix the issue when it is in scope, commit, push, and repeat the check loop for the next run. Do not stop after a single in-progress status when the user asked the agent to continue the loop.
+After pushing commits that trigger a Gitea workflow, Codex agents must keep checking the resulting workflow run before finishing. Poll the run until it reaches a terminal state. If it succeeds, report the successful run. If it fails or is cancelled, inspect the failing job/logs, fix the issue when it is in scope, commit, push, and repeat the check loop for the next run. A fixed failure is not a stopping point; the loop continues after the follow-up push until a workflow succeeds or a concrete out-of-scope blocker is reached. Do not stop after a single in-progress status when the user asked the agent to continue the loop.
