A manifest with no writer stage may now mark a script stage after rework_from with on_fail "rework". Its failure starts a round at that stage itself rather than at rework_from: a repair below the score bar names no wrong input, so the findings stages would refuse to run (findings_pages_prompt must find one in a later round). The round is bounded by the failed-round allowance and the time rule as any other. bench/repair-loop.sh, inside a job, writes the stage's findings file when it exits 1, with "rework": false when it left no survivors, so no round starts from nothing. specs/aspect-ratio.job.json marks repair this way: folknet runs 034f8b5uiuxtBVe7KoHglD and 034f9KQfZJpAI8wr8ytaeY ended failed after one pass with 7 survivors each.
