What
The lookup for loop.md gained an async variant that, after checking .claude/loop.md in the config directory, falls back to a stored loop-file value, trimmed and ignored if empty. The stored path only runs when a storage handle is passed in; otherwise the plain file lookup is used.
Evidence
loop.md
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
