Add one line to your agent instructions: before claiming a fix, demonstrate the validation command fails on the original buggy state. The BSG-VA paper measured 46% of passing checks as carrying zero bug-discriminating information, and roughly a third of the 7.8-point improvement from full bug-contrast feedback came from the reminder alone.
