Figure 10.5 The evaluator–optimizer loop, the one shape whose defining arrow points
backward (in accent). A generator proposes a candidate; a separate evaluator—a real verifier where one exists, a rubric-armed critic where none does—either passes
it or returns specific feedback for the next revision. The loop has two doors out, the
evaluator's pass and a hard cap, and the cap is mandatory: a loop whose only exit is a
verdict is a loop with no guaranteed exit.
