[/codebase-design] This PR is titled as a single-purpose code-scanning allocation-overflow fix, but it also rewrites an unrelated, protected skill file (name frontmatter field dropped, content restructured). The PR's own caution banner already flags this file as requiring explicit human scrutiny.

💡 Why this matters

Bundling an unrelated doc/skill rewrite into an automated security-fix PR makes the change harder to review and audit (the diff mixes a trivial 1-line Go fix with a 23-line rewrite of a shared skill file consumed by many other workflows). It also removes the name: reporting frontmatter key — confirm nothing (skill lookup, package manifest resolution, gh aw tooling) depends on that field before merging, since other SKILL.md files in this repo are inconsistent about using name vs. metadata.github-path.

Recommend splitting this into two PRs: one scoped strictly to the go/allocation-size-overflow fix (matches the PR title/body), and a separate PR for the reporting skill rewrite with its own rationale and review.

@copilot please address this.

Unrelated scope-creep in a security-fix PR: this rewrite drops the name: reporting frontmatter field. Every other SKILL.md in .github/skills/ (52/53) declares a name: matching its directory — reporting is now the only exception. This file is also explicitly flagged in the PR as a "protected file" requiring human scrutiny, so the missing field should be restored (or the rewrite reverted) and scoped separately from the allocation-size-overflow fix in experiments_command.go.

@copilot please address this.

# Report Format Guidelines

Use these rules to format reports with collapsible sections.

## Use HTML Details/Summary Tags

Reduce scrolling and improve readability: **wrap reports in HTML `<details>` and `<summary>` tags** so users can expand and collapse sections.

**Basic Structure:**

```markdown
<details>
<summary>📊 Report Title - [Date]</summary>

## Report Content

Your detailed report content goes here...

### Section 1

Content for section 1...

### Section 2

Content for section 2...

</details>
```
- Use `###` (or lower) headers only.
Comment on lines 1 to +5
- Keep summary and critical actions visible; move long detail into `<details>` blocks.
- Structure reports as: overview → key metrics/issues → collapsible detail → next actions.
- Format run IDs as links: `[§12345](https://github.com/owner/repo/actions/runs/12345)`.
- Include up to 3 most relevant run URLs at end under `**References:**`.
- Do NOT add footer attribution (system adds automatically).

[/diagnosing-bugs] Fix addresses the symptom (overflow risk) but ships with no regression test, and the capacity hint is now a weaker pre-allocation signal than before.

💡 Details

Using max(len(primary), len(guardrails)) prevents overflow, but it under-estimates capacity whenever the two maps have largely disjoint keys (worst case: total unique keys approaches len(primary)+len(guardrails)), causing extra rehashing during make(map[string]struct{}, ...) growth. That's an acceptable tradeoff for a security fix, but since this is a code-scanning auto-fix with no accompanying test, consider adding a small table test for observationRunReferences that exercises large primary/guardrails inputs (e.g. near math.MaxInt) to pin down the overflow-safety guarantee as a regression test, per the diagnosing-bugs loop (reproduce → fix → regression-test).

@copilot please address this.
