Description

**Bug Description**
The agent routinely completes work and writes output to a markedown file like a runbook i need to follow by hand - and fails to do the obvious thing, even tell me the name of the file or where it put it. or it puts it in /tmp directory under scratch pads etc. instead of someplace user accessible.

**Environment Info**
- Platform: linux
- Terminal: ghostty
- Version: 2.1.273
- Feedback ID: f9cc7a57-1474-4299-b33c-091fbd65e46c

**Errors**
```json
[]
```

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are identified in the report. Reproduce the behavior on Linux using the reported feedback ID, then trace where output files are created and where their locations are reported; done means the agent names the output file and uses a user-accessible location rather than /tmp.
