Why

Main's CGO checks fail because debugging guidance was split into specialized pages without updating the instruction assertions or embedded offline guide list. CI integration checks also fail when registry throttling replaces the expected missing-image error.

Changes

• Check debugging requirements in their owning guides and verify the strategy links to them; refresh the offline guide list.
• Move missing-image assertions to deterministic fake-Docker coverage, including checking that a missing manifest is not retried. Retain positive live Docker integration coverage.

No production Docker validation behavior changes.

Validation

• Build, formatting, targeted regression tests with race detection, custom linters, impacted unit tests, and workflow drift checks passed.
• Go lint passed on retry with a longer timeout after the initial gate timed out.
• Live positive Docker integration checks could not pass locally because Docker storage is full (no space left on device). Shared Docker resources were left untouched.

What changed in this PR

This PR improves gh-aw CI reliability by aligning instruction checks with the specialized debugging guides and making missing-image tests independent of registry availability. Production Docker validation behavior is unchanged.

Changes:

• Update instruction assertions to check the owning guides and verify links from the main debugging guide.
• Add the split debugging guides to the offline fallback list.
• Move missing-image assertions to fake-Docker coverage, verify no retry occurs, and retain positive live Docker checks.

File	Description
pkg/​workflow/​validation_test.go	Remove registry-dependent negative cases while retaining positive integration coverage.
pkg/​workflow/​docker_validation_readonly_test.go	Add deterministic missing-image error and no-retry assertions.
pkg/​cli/​data/​agentic_workflows_fallback_aw_files.json	Include the specialized debugging guides in the offline list.
pkg/​cli/​copilot_agents_test.go	Align debugging assertions and guide-link checks with the split documentation.
