Fix assignee mechanism.

**Root cause:** The `create_issue` API call failed because `copilot-swe-agent` is not a valid assignee in `github/copilot-sdk-java`. The REST API rejects issue creation entirely when an invalid assignee is specified — so the issue was never created, which also blocked the downstream `assign_to_agent` step.

**Fixes made (3 files):**

1. reference-impl-sync.md — Removed `assignees: [copilot-swe-agent]` from the `create-issue` safe-output config. The `assign_to_agent` safe-output (already configured) is the correct mechanism for assigning Copilot to work on the issue in agentic workflows.

2. reference-impl-sync.lock.yml — Regenerated via `gh aw compile reference-impl-sync`.

3. reference-impl-sync.yml — Removed `--assignee "copilot-swe-agent"` from the `gh issue create` command in the non-agentic fallback workflow.

The issue creation will now succeed without an assignee, and the agentic workflow's `assign_to_agent` tool will handle assigning Copilot to work on it afterward.
