The problem is the empty second argument.

\startitemize[before=\startlinecorrection,after=\stoplinecorrection][]

When you pass two arguments with \startitemize the first argument os for keywords (e.g. packed or fit)
and second argument is for assignments (e.g. width=3cm) in your case context is looking for the keywords
“before=\startlinecorrection” and “after=\stoplinecorrection” which results in a loop.
