Make "check existing coverage first" a top-level testing principle

Browse source 
The original docs/testing.md mentioned finding existing tests as step 1
of the checklist but never explicitly said "if existing coverage
already addresses your case, extend it; don't duplicate." Adds a
prominent "First principle" section that names extend-vs-new as the
preferred outcome and lists three duplicated init_and_load blocks as
the most common form of test rot.

Adds an extra checklist item: verify your change makes an *existing*
test fail before it makes a new one pass — if you can break the code
without breaking a test, that coverage gap is the bug to fix first.

Strengthens the AGENTS.md callout so the principle ("always check what
already covers it") is in scope from the top of every session.

> 3. **[docs/testing.md](docs/testing.md)** — the test-coverage map. **Always check what already covers your change before writing a new test.** Extending an existing test (an assertion, a fixture row, a parameterization) is preferred over a duplicated `init_and_load()` block. Walk the before-every-task checklist to identify existing coverage, run those tests as a clean baseline, and only add a new test fn or file when no existing one owns the area.
