Option 2 would almost be workable if you had a very streamlined system for implementing revisions, to prevent more than one individual from exploiting a loophole before it's closed.

Like a group of elected officials who's only job is to close these loopholes without massive fanfare and a simple vote. A process that is incredibly fast and decisive in order to get double digits done per day.

Because, y'know, having officials crank through tons of difficult decisions per day is such a supremely effective[1] and corruption-free way to create a social process. It's worked so very well for the patent system, why not for law and jursiprudence?
