ATTEMPT 1 — Diagnose & fix
 Read the error carefully. Identify root cause from message + stack.
 Apply a targeted fix. Log to Errors Encountered.

ATTEMPT 2 — Alternative approach
 If the same error returns, switch method — different library, different
 tool, different decomposition. NEVER repeat the exact failing action.

ATTEMPT 3 — Broader rethink
 Question assumptions. Re-read findings.md and task_plan.md. Search for
 documented solutions. Consider whether the plan itself is wrong.

AFTER 3 FAILURES — Escalate to user
 Stop. In one message, state: what was tried, the exact errors observed,
 the hypotheses ruled out, and the specific decision you need from the user.
 Do not silently keep trying.
