## Bugs Found & Fixed

### BUG-1: Instructions showed "No instructions available for this action"
- **Root cause:** `window.__copilotPromptConfig` was never set — modal expected a global variable that no code populated
- **Fix:** Made `_loadInstructions()` async; fetches from `/api/config/copilot-prompt` if global not set; caches in `window.__copilotPromptConfig`
- **Files changed:** `action-execution-modal.js`, `action-execution-modal.test.js`
