The flow:

  1. Actor generates tests from the specification
  2. Critic reviews each test against the specification
  3. Critic returns feedback: APPROVE, REVISE, or REJECT per test
  4. Actor revises based on feedback
  5. Repeat until the Critic approves 90%+ of tests (or max rounds reached)
  6. Final suite = all approved tests
