# Resume Experiment

Resume a paused or context-limited experiment and continue iteration.

## Workflow

### 1. List Experiments If Needed

If no specific experiment is given, retrieve the list of all experiments with their current status (active, paused, or completed based on results recency). Let the user select which to resume.

### 2. Load Full Context

Retrieve and review:
- Experiment configuration (domain, name, parameters)
- Strategy and program notes
- Full results history (all prior iterations with metrics)
- Recent commit history for the experiment branch

### 3. Current State Summary

Report to user:
- Experiment name and target files/functions
- Primary metric (direction: lower or higher is better)
- Total experiments run, breakdown by kept/discarded/crashed
- Best result and improvement vs. baseline
- Last experiment summary with outcome (kept/discarded/crashed)
- Recent patterns observed across attempts

### 4. Next Action

Offer user options:
- Single iteration: make one change and evaluate
- Start loop: resume autonomous iteration with scheduled intervals
- Review results: user reviews and decides next step

For loop choice, hand off to continuation with experiment pre-selected.
