run(weekly/prompt-fixer-agent): automate prompt safety fixes

- Selected `prompt-fixer-agent` from weekly roster.
- Parsed `artifacts/prompt-safety-audit.md` identifying 24 agents needing fixes.
- Applied `FAILURE MODES` and no-op exit criteria to all 24 agent prompts.
- Generated required run artifacts (Context, Todo, Decisions, Test Log).
- Verified artifacts and linting.
- Published completion lock.

+# Context - Prompt Safety Fixes
+
+## Goal
+Automatically remediate safety findings from `artifacts/prompt-safety-audit.md` as per the `prompt-fixer-agent` mission.
+
+## Scope
+- Read the audit report.
+- Apply `FAILURE MODES` and `EXIT CRITERIA` (no-op logic) to flagged prompts.
+- Do not modify core logic.
+
+## Findings
+- 24 agents were flagged as needing improvement.
+- Common issues: Missing `FAILURE MODES`, missing explicit no-op/stopping logic.
+
+## Constraints
+- Must not break existing prompt structure.
+- Must ensure safety sections are present.

+# Decisions - Prompt Safety Fixes
+
+## Decision: Automation Strategy
+- Used a Python script (`fix_prompts.py`) to parse the audit report and apply fixes.
+- This ensures consistency and reduces manual error for 24 files.
+
+## Rationale
+- **Failure Modes**: Appended to the end of the file (or before `OUTPUTS` if present).
+- **No-op Logic**: Inserted into `MISSION`, `WORKFLOW`, or `GOALS` sections. The script looks for these headers and inserts the line `- If no work is required, exit without making changes.` at the end of the section (before the next header).
+
+## Manual Intervention
+- `protocol-research-agent.md` required manual intervention because the script failed to identify a suitable insertion point with the initial logic (though updated logic might have worked, manual fix was safer and faster).
+
+## Verification
+- Verified that `const-refactor-agent.md` contains the new sections.
+- Verified that `protocol-research-agent.md` contains the new no-op logic.
