Pull request overview
Expands the troubleshooting guidance for “Write Operations Fail” by explaining the write-safety model and showing how to declare required safe-outputs in workflow frontmatter.
Changes:
- Replaces the prior stub with an explanation that write operations must be executed via
safe-outputs. - Adds a YAML example demonstrating configured (
create-issue) and default (add-comment,update-issue) safe outputs. - Links to the Safe Outputs reference and the Safe Outputs specification for follow-up details.

The "Write Operations Fail" section was a two-sentence stub while every adjacent section provides YAML examples, links, and step-by-step guidance — a common onboarding friction point.
