record_attempt
Record each fix attempt to track outcomes and prevent repeating mistakes. Automatically attaches to the active issue or creates one if none exists.
Instructions
Record a fix attempt on the current issue.
MANDATORY: call IMMEDIATELY after each distinct fix attempt — do NOT
batch multiple attempts into one call.
`outcome` must be 'worked', 'failed', or 'partial'. Pass `issue_id`
explicitly to attach to a specific issue; otherwise the attempt
attaches to the active issue. If no active issue exists, an implicit
parent issue is auto-created from this attempt's text (L-008).
Side effects: appends an `attempt` event and updates the issue file.
Does NOT close the issue — call record_fix for that.Input Schema
