Plan #825 (T2 — Issues task_kind) shipped S1–S4 but its S5 docs slice
never landed, so every behavioral surface the plugin pushes to the agent
still described the pre-kind convention ("tag `issue`" on a create_note).
Result: agents fixed bugs without reaching for kind=issue and dumped the
work as logs on unrelated open tasks.

- _INSTRUCTIONS: rewrite the "record a problem" bullet to
  create_task(kind="issue") with symptom→cause→fix + arose_from_id /
  system_ids, and an explicit "not a work-log on an unrelated task"; add
  Issue + System to the hierarchy section.
- skills/systematic-debugging, verification: drop "tag `issue`" /
  create_note-issue, point at create_task(kind="issue").
- skills/using-scribe: add issues/systems to the entity list + reflex #6.
- hooks/scribe_static_context: fix → its own issue on the keyless floor.

Instance-agnostic, prose-only; no schema or tool-behavior change.
Pairs with always-on rule #118. Issue: #855.

that changes direction — write a short dated note on the project (create_note)
capturing what happened (the pivots, not just the wins), and set the finished
task to done.
- When you record a problem you solved, capture symptom → root cause → fix
(tag it `issue`) so it's findable later — even one solved in passing is worth
two lines, so it isn't diagnosed from scratch next time.
- When you fix a problem — even one solved in passing — record it as its own
issue (create_task(kind="issue")) with symptom → root cause → fix in the body,
NOT as a work-log line on whatever task happened to be open. An issue is
corrective work with its own lifecycle; recording it discretely (optionally
linked via arose_from_id to the task it came from, and system_ids to the
subsystem it touches) is what makes it findable so it isn't diagnosed from
scratch next time.
Compaction hygiene — recommend compacting at clean seams. Because you record
progress as you go, a context compaction is SAFE: the durable state lives in
