Subject: [PATCH] fix(ralph-loop): capture check_output status safely under set
 -e

When the agent emits no promise signal, check_output returns 1 (continue).
Under set -euo pipefail, a bare function call returning non-zero exits the
script before status=$? can capture it. Fix: use the || idiom so the
non-zero return is handled rather than triggering set -e.
