feat: debug RED stage requires minimal, autonomous fixture
Phase 3 previously said only "smallest possible reproducer" — a passive property an agent can satisfy by name while still asserting against the full reproducing fixture. Sharpen it into an explicit two-step discipline: minimize the trigger (delta-reduce until one more cut makes the symptom vanish) and make the fixture autonomous (inline input, no shared fixtures/DB seeds/clocks/server boots unless the bug is genuinely at that integration boundary). - Iron Law gains: an un-minimized repro is not a RED test - Phase 3 rewritten with explicit Minimize + Autonomous steps - 3 rationalization rows + 4 red flags for the "full fixture reproduces deterministically, ship it" failure mode - SKILL.md overview/handoff mirrored at orchestrator altitude Baseline (writing-skills RED-first): 6 subagent runs showed the old wording usually steered right but relied on agent instinct; GREEN: 2 runs under the targeted full-fixture pressure now reduce to the minimal trigger and cite the contract verbatim.
