frankbria 2cf06b0de2 Implement Phase 1 critical fixes: Response analyzer & circuit breaker
Implements all Phase 1 recommendations from expert panel review:

1. **Response Analysis Pipeline** (Martin Fowler recommendation)
   - New lib/response_analyzer.sh component
   - Parses Claude Code output for completion signals
   - Detects test-only loops and stagnation
   - Updates .exit_signals file with structured data
   - Tracks confidence scores and progress indicators

2. **Circuit Breaker Pattern** (Michael Nygard recommendation)
   - New lib/circuit_breaker.sh component
   - Three-state pattern: CLOSED → HALF_OPEN → OPEN
   - Prevents runaway token consumption
   - Detects: no progress (3 loops), same errors (5 loops)
   - Automatic halt with clear user guidance
   - Manual reset capability

3. **Structured Output Contract** (Sam Newman recommendation)
   - Updated PROMPT.md template with RALPH_STATUS format
   - Defines clear JSON-parseable exit signals
   - SMART criteria for completion detection
   - Concrete examples for all scenarios

4. **Integration & Testing**
   - ralph_loop.sh integration of both components
   - 20 comprehensive BATS integration tests (all passing)
   - Tests cover: signal detection, circuit states, full loop flows
   - Validates Phase 1 implementation correctness

**Impact**: Solves infinite loop problem, enables reliable exit detection,
prevents token waste through systematic stagnation detection.

**Test Results**: 20/20 integration tests passing
