Critic rejections — what makes the lesson stick across runs? #25

Description

@david-steel

Looked through the pipeline shape: state passes via return values, critics can retry an upstream step on rejection. That retry loop is doing the right thing for the current run.

The gap I cannot find: where does a rejected output get persisted as a lesson the planner consults next run? Right now the same critic rejection on the same upstream pattern fires again next time you execute. The critic is doing one-shot quality control, not building organizational memory.

A small network we run (https://orgtp.com) makes every critic rejection into a queryable rule: mcp__otp__capture_learning writes the correction once, mcp__otp__get_my_rules lets the planner read it before the next run. The retry stays. The relearning goes away.

If you want, I will sketch what this looks like wired into generata's planner step specifically — happy to open a follow-up PR or just leave the sketch in this thread.

The pipeline architecture is already cleaner than most. The persistence layer for critic feedback is the one piece I would add.
