Cancel Deep Loop

Immediately cancels an active deep loop session.

Actions

1. Update state file:

   # Read current state
   cat .deep/state.json 2>/dev/null
   

2. Set cancelled state: Write to .deep/state.json:

   {
     "active": false,
     "complete": true,
     "phase": "CANCELLED",
     "cancelled_at": "<current ISO timestamp>",
     "reason": "User requested cancellation"
   }
   

3. Clean up control files:

   rm -f .deep/FORCE_EXIT .deep/FORCE_COMPLETE .deep/NEEDS_USER .deep/RALPH_HANDOFF 2>/dev/null
   

4. Report:

   Deep loop cancelled.
   - State: .deep/state.json updated
   - Control files: cleaned
   

Notes

• Does NOT delete .deep/ directory (preserves history)
• Does NOT affect git state
• Safe to run even if no loop active
