fix(trail): tell tune not to cite gathered-only refs in templates

50a938c→main·

Soph·3w ago·2 files·+2 added/-0 removed

The gathered signal includes PR/issue titles and numbers, and the model was baking references like "(PR #77)" / "(issue #67)" into the rewritten templates. But at eval time the runner only sees the diff — it has no access to PRs, issues, or repo history — so those citations are inert at best and can nudge the runner to emit meaningless references. Add a tuning guideline to fold such lessons in as generic, diff-checkable criteria instead of citing issue/PR numbers or commit hashes.

- Keep the template's overall shape: the role line, the context-gathering steps, the scored dimensions, the score bands, and the final "output ONLY this JSON object" contract. Preserve every {{placeholder}} (e.g. {{branch}}, {{base_branch}}, {{previous_findings}}) exactly.
- Re-weight and reword the dimensions toward this repo's real risk/quality surface. Drop dimensions that don't apply here; add ones that do.
- Re-anchor the score bands to concrete things in THIS repo, informed by the empirical signal (incident themes, hot files, past findings) where present.
- The gathered signal is tuning-time context ONLY. When the runner later executes this template it sees just the diff — it has NO access to PRs, issues, or repo history. So do NOT cite issue/PR numbers (e.g. "#77", "issue #67"), commit hashes, or other gathered-only references in the rewritten template; fold the lesson in as a generic, diff-checkable criterion instead (e.g. "watch for credential tokens leaked into usage output", not "(PR #77)").
- Be concise. Do not turn a tight template into an essay.
- Only include a runner in your output if you are changing it.
