fix: simplify planted-bug eval prompts for reliable 25-turn completion

The QA agent was spending all 50 turns reading qa/SKILL.md and browsing
without ever writing a report. Replace verbose QA workflow prompt with
concise, direct bug-finding instructions. The /qa quick test already
validates the full QA workflow E2E — planted-bug evals test "can the
agent find bugs with browse", not the QA workflow documentation.

- 25 maxTurns (was 50) — more focused, less cost (~$0.50 vs ~$1.00)
- Direct step-by-step instructions instead of "read qa/SKILL.md"
- 180s timeout (was 300s)
