"""Loop guard — idle detection + exponential backoff for the dev loop.
Checks .loop/queue.json for ready items before spawning hermes.
When the queue is empty, applies exponential backoff (60s → 600s max)
instead of burning empty cycles every 3 seconds.
Usage (called by the dev loop before each cycle):
python3 scripts/loop_guard.py # exits 0 if ready, 1 if idle
python3 scripts/loop_guard.py --wait # same, but sleeps the backoff first
python3 scripts/loop_guard.py --status # print current idle state
Exit codes:
0 — queue has work, proceed with cycle
1 — queue empty, idle backoff applied (skip cycle)
