When verification_pending is true and the agent has dispatched an Oracle
verification (verification_attempt_id is set), session.idle events that
arrive before tool-execute-after stores the Oracle session ID
(verification_session_id still undefined) caused handlePendingVerification
to fall through to handleFailedVerification. This injected a duplicate
'verification failed' continuation prompt, spawning a second Oracle.
The fix adds a guard in handlePendingVerification: when
verification_attempt_id is set but verification_session_id is not, Oracle
dispatch is in flight and the handler returns early instead of declaring
failure. The pending wake will retry on the next session.idle.
Regression test added in given/when/then style proving the race sequence:
1. ULW loop detects DONE, enters verification_pending
2. Oracle dispatch stamps verification_attempt_id (tool-execute-before)
3. Second session.idle fires before tool-execute-after stores session ID
4. Handler must NOT call handleFailedVerification
RED (before fix): 2 prompt injections (duplicate Oracle)
GREEN (after fix): 1 prompt injection (correct)

Split the verification-failure restart into clearVerificationState (clears\nthe verification flags so we cleanly transition back to the main loop)\nfollowed by injectContinuationPrompt, with incrementIteration only on\nsuccessful injection. On rejection: clear the loop state and emit a loud\nwarning toast. Mirrors the dispatch-before-commit contract enforced for\nthe idle and session.error paths.
Replace fragile regex text matching with structured detection for Oracle verification evidence.
- Add oracle-verification-detector.ts with parseOracleVerificationEvidence()
- Use structured parsing instead of multiple regex patterns
- Add comprehensive test coverage for edge cases
- Update completion-promise-detector.ts to use isOracleVerified()
- Update pending-verification-handler.ts to use structured extraction

Oracle's <promise>VERIFIED</promise> arrives as a tool_result part from the
task() tool call, not as a text part. Both detectCompletionInSessionMessages
and collectAssistantText only scanned type=text parts, missing the
verification signal entirely. This caused ulw loops to fail verification
even when Oracle successfully emitted VERIFIED.
Include tool_result parts in promise detection alongside text parts.
Exclude tool_use parts to avoid false positives from instructional text.
The verification_session_id was never reliably set because the
prompt-based attempt_id matching in tool-execute-after depends on
metadata.prompt surviving the delegate-task execution chain. When
this fails silently, the loop never detects Oracle's VERIFIED
emission.
Add a fallback: when exact attempt_id matching fails but oracle
agent + verification_pending state match, still set the session ID.
Add diagnostic logging to trace verification flow failures.
Add integration test covering the full verification chain.
