Root cause the f1 probe exposed: the loop iterates without improving (a local-optimum 'maze') because generation is anchored to model priors, not external ground truth.

Heavy external research (graphics/physics/art + the methodology literature) produced a cited playbook AND this 5-part fix, each grounded in published work:

  • Pre-generation research grounding (dev-cycle Step 3-PRE) — resolve a reference, fetch the concrete block, derive acceptance criteria, THEN generate (AlphaCodium 19%→44%).
  • Reference targetsconfig.references + config.research (named real-product levels + reference-impl URLs + research playbook path).
  • Reference comparison in the 5-G critic — names the ONE concrete attribute the artifact lacks vs the reference (actionable signal).
  • Stall → REWRITE escalationrecommend_rewrite() + evolve 2-G: when incremental leaps themselves stall, rewrite from a cited reference with a Reflexion negative-example memo, before HALT.
  • Diagnose/fix isolation on regression (MASAI).

New helper + test. verify.py 64. plugin 1.10.1→1.11.0.
