The coding agent handoff prompt already includes the root cause and solution artifacts, but said nothing about what the agent should write in the PR it opens. Add an instruction to briefly explain the root cause and solution at a high level in the PR description. Fixes AIML-3306

Root cause
When Seer hands an issue off to an external coding agent (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot),
generate_autofix_handoff_promptpacks the root cause and solution artifacts into the prompt — but never tells the agent what to put in the PR it opens. Agents were left to write PR descriptions from the diff alone, so the analysis Seer had already done didn't make it into the PR.Solution
Add one instruction to the handoff prompt asking the agent to briefly explain the root cause and solution at a high level in the PR description, capped at a few sentences. It sits directly above the
## Root Cause Analysisand## Proposed Solutionsections it refers to.trigger_coding_agent_handoffis the only production caller oflaunch_coding_agents, so this single change covers all three providers.Testing
test_basic_prompt_without_artifacts; all 8TestGenerateAutofixHandoffPrompttests pass.Wording deliberately uses lowercase "root cause"/"solution" and avoids the word "Fixes" so it doesn't trip the existing negative assertions in the suite.
running this locally with ngrok and will test when live.
