Cursor caps followup_message chains at 5 unless loop_limit is null. The previous macOS-only osascript workaround silently failed on Linux at iteration 5, stopping the loop. - Add hooks/hooks.json.example with loop_limit: null - Simplify stop hook to always emit followup_message - Add optional continue-linux.sh keyboard fallback for legacy configs - Document Linux requirements in README and ralph command Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

Summary
The Ralph loop stopped on Linux after 5 iterations because the stop hook used macOS-only
osascriptto continue the loop. On Linux,osascriptis missing; the hook exits without emittingfollowup_message, so the loop dies silently.Fix: register the stop hook with
"loop_limit": nullinhooks.json(documented inhooks/hooks.json.example). Cursor then accepts unlimitedfollowup_messagechains — the same approach used by ericzakariasson/ralph-loop-plugin.This PR also:
