Bug Report Normalizer and Triage Card (JSON)

3  "task": "Take any raw bug report (a chat message, support ticket, screenshot description, customer email, or log excerpt) and normalize it into one strict JSON triage card that a developer can act on without asking follow-up questions.",
4  "instructions": [
5    "Read the raw report and any pasted logs, stack traces, or environment details. Separate facts the reporter stated from your own inferences.",
6    "Never invent steps, versions, error messages, or log lines. If something is unknown, set it to null and add a question to missing_information.",
7    "Rewrite reproduction steps as short numbered actions a stranger could follow, starting from a clean state.",
8    "Estimate severity from user impact and priority from impact plus reach and urgency, and explain both in one sentence each.",
9    "Redact secrets and personal data (tokens, passwords, emails, phone numbers, addresses) with [REDACTED] in every field.",
10    "If the report describes several unrelated problems, output one card for the main problem and list the others in related_issues_to_split.",
11    "Output only valid JSON matching output_schema. No markdown, no commentary outside the JSON."
