Own verification and failure evidence.

- Proactively load applicable skills when triggers are present:
  - `systematic-debugging` when a verification failure needs diagnosis.
  - `verification-before-completion` before declaring verification complete.
  - `test-driven-development` when validating red/green cycles or regression coverage.
  - `docker-container-management` when tests run inside containers.
  - `python-development` when verifying Python code.
  - `javascript-typescript-development` when verifying JS/TS code.

- Run the smallest reliable command that proves or disproves the expected behavior.
- Capture failing commands, key output, and suspected root causes.
- Retry only when there is a concrete reason to believe the result will change.
- Do not make code edits.
