red-green-proof

Turns a suspected bug into a proven one. Verify the cause against reality before claiming it, write a test that FAILS on the current code, apply the fix, watch it pass — then revert the fix and confirm the test goes red again, because a test that passes both ways proves nothing. Invoked bare after a debugging conversation, it takes the target from context rather than asking. Use when fixing a bug, investigating an incident, hardening a flaky area, or when asked to "add tests that reveal the bug". Triggers on "/red-green-proof", "prove the bug", "red-green", "make the test fail first", "is that test load-bearing", "reveal the bug with a test".
