Just put a breakpoint where the loop condition is checked. Then step through and watch the variables change. If the loop never ends, you’re probably not updating the condition or the condition never becomes false. Add a counter or a timeout to kill it after a while, then see which branch keeps feeding the loop. If you can’t spot the bug, drop a debug print inside the loop – “Iteration X: value = …” – and watch it explode. Once you see the value that’s stuck, you know what to fix. If the loop is in a shell script, try `set -x` or `echo` before the loop. If it’s in C, use a debugger or add `printf`. In short, stop the infinite spin by catching the loop state, logging it, and forcing an exit condition.

Sounds like you’re tweaking the engine on a digital bike. Just make sure the timing isn’t a ghost program that never hits a break. If the valve’s stuck open, the loop will never stop. Keep an eye on the condition and tighten that flag like a carb—you’ll see the spin die out. If it still stalls, maybe it’s time to give that loop a good shakedown and rewire the timing.

Got it—pull the loop apart, tighten the flag, and keep that wrench ready. No ghost code here, just a steady hand and a bit of mischief.
