fix(loop): respect Claude's EXIT_SIGNAL when checking completion indicators (#90)
* fix(loop): respect Claude's EXIT_SIGNAL when checking completion indicators

The should_exit_gracefully() function was exiting prematurely based solely
on completion_indicators heuristics, ignoring Claude's explicit EXIT_SIGNAL
in the RALPH_STATUS block. This caused premature exits during productive
iterations when Claude reported work in progress.

Changes:
- ralph_loop.sh: Added dual-condition check requiring BOTH completion
  indicators >= 2 AND exit_signal == true before exiting
- response_analyzer.sh: Added explicit_exit_signal_found flag to prevent
  natural language heuristics from overriding Claude's explicit intent
- Added 14 new tests (10 unit + 4 integration) covering EXIT_SIGNAL behavior

Decision matrix:
| indicators >= 2 | EXIT_SIGNAL | Result |
|-----------------|-------------|--------|
| true            | true        | Exit   |
| true            | false       | Continue |
| true            | missing     | Continue (defaults to false) |
| false           | true        | Continue (threshold not met) |

Fixes premature exit bug during productive development iterations.

* Update lib/response_analyzer.sh

* test(exit): add STATUS=COMPLETE vs EXIT_SIGNAL=false conflict test

docs(exit): update CLAUDE.md with EXIT_SIGNAL gate documentation

- Added test for STATUS=COMPLETE with EXIT_SIGNAL=false conflict
  (EXIT_SIGNAL takes precedence, allowing phase completion without loop exit)
- Updated "Intelligent Exit Detection" section with dual-condition explanation
- Added "Completion Indicators with EXIT_SIGNAL Gate" section with decision table
- Documented conflict resolution behavior and implementation details
