Apply caveman optimization to two instruction files in .github/aw/: - runbooks/workflow-health.md: 383→208 lines, ~35% char reduction - report.md: ~15% char reduction Preserved all YAML examples, field names, command syntax, and schema signal. Cuts targeted redundant Symptoms/Causes lists, duplicate command references, and verbose narrative prose. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Optimization pass on agentic workflow instruction files: condensed verbose prose in report generation guidelines and workflow health troubleshooting runbook to terse, actionable descriptions. No functional changes.

Part of the "caveman" optimization initiative to reduce instruction verbosity and improve agentic parsing efficiency. These instruction files are consumed by workflow engines and benefit from terse, high-signal-density formatting.
