"""
Human-in-the-Loop — Checkpoint, interrupt, resume, and Φ score overrides.
Allows humans to:
1. Pause the agent at any step and inspect state
2. Override the Purpose Function's Φ score (teach the agent what "good" means)
3. Edit the agent's planned action before execution
4. Resume from any checkpoint after review
5. Inject heuristics directly ("when you see X, always do Y")
Φ score overrides are the killer feature: humans can correct the critic,
and the corrected scores flow into experience replay → the agent permanently
learns the human's preference. No fine-tuning needed.
