What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
Loops that let the model set its own pace now keep rescheduling by default. The gate tengu_kairos_loop_keepalive ships with a built-in default of on (it was off), and the per-schedule check that bailed out early has been removed, so a loop runs until the budget is spent rather than stopping at the gate.
Details
Rescheduling goes straight to the budget check, which ends the loop with "keepalive budget exhausted (model declined to reschedule twice) — ending loop".
The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.
