Pull request overview
Updates the bug-fix agent system prompt to shift from pure triage toward producing fix patches and validating them with tests, aligning the prompt with recent generated examples.
Changes:
- Renames the agent role from “bug-triage” to “bug-fix” and updates the job statement to include fixing.
- Adds guidance allowing source-repo edits to prepare/inspect a candidate patch.
- Adds guidance to update/write tests and verify failure-before / pass-after.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

| Test your changes by updating existing tests or writing a new test if needed. If an existing test already covers the issue, you can just run it to verify that it fails before the fix and passes after. |
