Description
ProgressGate uses TypeSafe Jev to detect when an AI agent is taking different actions without making real progress, then returns CONTINUE, WARN, REPLAN, or HALT decisions before the next model call.

Could you build this?
Partial Building a basic state tracker is easy, but reliably calculating semantic distance and detecting infinite or divergent reasoning loops in autonomous agent trajectories without false positives requires non-trivial algorithmic design.
What it would actually take: Building a robust agent loop detector involves parsing complex tool-use traces, vector embeddings of state progression, and graph-based loop detection algorithms to differentiate between productive exploration and thrashing. The stack would require low-latency proxy middleware (in Go or Rust) capable of intercepting LLM payloads, computing similarity metrics across dynamic action graphs, and returning sub-50ms gating decisions.
