Easy on-trail loops in only 4 days are pretty few and far between in the Sierra given the distances between trails. If you really don't want to see the same section of trail twice, you could try a one-way trip, making it work with a car shuttle, hitching, or YARTS. Maybe hike Tuolumne to the Valley via Vogelsang or Cathedral (very chill / low mileage for 4 days).

Or for a lollipop you could go in Ansel Adams out of Agnew or somewhere, and taking the high trail to Thousand Island then the JMT to Ediza. Late September the shuttle won't be running there, so you can drive directly to the trailhead.
