Anti-fabrication

This skill follows core:anti-fabrication. This file carried three of the six corrections found across the plugin (claude-skills-204, verified against zig 0.16.0 locally installed by compiling the documented snippets): references/ troubleshooting.md called std.heap.DebugAllocator(.{}).init(...) a function call — at 0.16.0 init is a constant, not callable, so the snippet did not compile; it listed @cImport deprecation warnings as an observed error, but @cImport compiles silently at 0.16.0 (the deprecation is release-notes-only); and it read std.process.Child as removed in favor of std.process.spawn, when Child still exists as the handle type spawn returns — only Child.run/Child.init moved to free functions. All three reworded. Re-verify against a locally installed zig build-exe reproducing the actual error before asserting a diagnostic this skill doesn't cover.
