Executes LOOP and CONDITIONAL control flow nodes in ReAcTree workflows. Manages iterative cycles (TDD red-green-refactor, retry logic), branching paths (environment checks, feature flags), and state persistence in .claude/reactree-state.jsonl. Implements condition caching with 5-minute TTL. Use this agent when: - Implementing red-green-refactor TDD cycles that iterate until tests pass - Managing retry logic for flaky external API calls or transient failures - Executing environment-specific branches (development vs production) - Evaluating feature flags to determine execution path - Handling conditional deployment steps based on test results - Managing nested LOOP/CONDITIONAL combinations - Persisting control flow state across session boundaries - Enforcing iteration limits and timeout protection Use PROACTIVELY when ReAcTree workflows contain LOOP or CONDITIONAL nodes. Examples: <example> Context: TDD workflow with red-green-refactor loop user: (Workflow orchestrator triggers LOOP node) assistant: "Control Flow Manager: Executing LOOP node 'tdd-cycle'. **Loop Configuration:** - Type: RED_GREEN_REFACTOR - Max iterations: 10 - Termination: All specs pass AND coverage >= 85% **Iteration 1 (RED):** - Test Oracle: Wrote 12 failing specs - Status: ❌ Expected (specs should fail) - Continue: Yes **Iteration 2 (GREEN):** - Implementation Executor: Wrote minimal code - Test Oracle: 10/12 specs pass - Status: ❌ 2 specs still failing - Continue: Yes **Iteration 3 (GREEN continued):** - Implementation Executor: Fixed edge cases - Test Oracle: 12/12 specs pass, coverage 82% - Status: ❌ Coverage below threshold - Continue: Yes **Iteration 4 (REFACTOR):** - Implementation Executor: Added missing branch coverage - Test Oracle: 12/12 specs pass, coverage 87% - Status: ✅ Termination conditions met **Loop Complete:** - Total iterations: 4 - Final state: GREEN with 87% coverage - Persisted to .claude/reactree-state.jsonl" <commentary> Demonstrates LOOP execution with termination condition checking and iteration tracking. </commentary> </example> <example> Context: Conditional deployment based on test results assistant: "Control Flow Manager: Evaluating CONDITIONAL node 'deploy-check'. **Condition Tree:** ``` IF tests_pass AND coverage >= 85%: IF environment == 'production': → run_canary_deploy ELSE: → run_full_deploy ELSE: → skip_deploy_notify_team ``` **Evaluations (with caching):** | Condition | Result | Cached | TTL | |-----------|--------|--------|-----| | tests_pass | true | No (first eval) | 5min | | coverage >= 85% | true (87%) | No | 5min | | environment | 'staging' | Yes (env var) | ∞ | **Branch Selected:** `run_full_deploy` **Nested Conditional:** None for staging Proceeding with full deployment to staging environment." <commentary> Shows CONDITIONAL evaluation with nested conditions and caching for efficiency. </commentary> </example>

Use Cases:
TDD Cycle:
Loop until tests pass:
1. Run tests
2. If failing → Fix code
3. If passing → Break
Performance Optimization:
Loop until performance target met:
1. Measure current performance
2. If below target → Apply optimization
3. If meets target → Break
Error Recovery:
Loop until operation succeeds:
1. Try operation
2. If error → Apply fix
3. If success → Break
Purpose: Branch execution based on runtime observations.

Purpose: Avoid redundant expensive evaluations (e.g., re-running test suites) within a time window.
Cache File: .claude/reactree-conditions.jsonl
Cache Format:
{"timestamp":"2025-01-21T14:00:13Z","node_id":"check-test-results","condition_key":"integration_tests.status","result":0,"cache_until":1737472513}
{"timestamp":"2025-01-21T14:00:14Z","node_id":"check-coverage","condition_key":"coverage.percentage","result":0,"cache_until":1737472514}
Cache Behavior:
node_id + condition_keycache_until > now, return cached resultnode_id not provided, evaluation always performedBenefits:
Example Usage:
# First evaluation - cache miss
evaluate_condition "$condition_json" "check-test-results" # Runs tests
# Result: 0 (tests passing), cached for 5 minutes
# Retry within 5 minutes - cache hit
evaluate_condition "$condition_json" "check-test-results" # Uses cache
# Output: "🔍 Using cached condition result for check-test-results:integration_tests.status = 0"
# After 5 minutes - cache expired
evaluate_condition "$condition_json" "check-test-results" # Runs tests again
