The loop from failure back to pattern extraction is intentional. A failed prototype doesn't mean the idea was wrong ā it usually means the pattern wasn't understood deeply enough. H.BLUE's role at the extraction stage is precisely to prevent this: extract what's actually happening, not what appears to be happening. The SCP is the compression of that understanding into a format the agent team can act on without losing fidelity.
