chore(config): raise default max_steps_per_turn from 500 to 1000#2088
Merged
Conversation
Long-running agent turns were occasionally hitting the 500-step cap. Bump the default to 1000 so they have more headroom; users who need a tighter or looser limit can still override via config or `--max-steps-per-turn`.

Raises the default agent loop cap so long-running turns are less likely to stop due to the per-turn step limit, and updates the repository’s tests and documentation to reflect the new default.
Changes:
- Increase
LoopControl.max_steps_per_turndefault from 500 → 1000. - Update default-config snapshot test expectations.
- Update config documentation examples/tables and add release-note entries (root + docs changelogs).
