repo hygiene: add agent operating instructions for Copilot and Codex

[mdheller]

Closed by PR #134.

Resolution:

• Added AGENTS.md.
• Added .github/copilot-instructions.md.
• Preserved the intended issue-first, bounded PR, validation-backed agent workflow for this repository.

Validation evidence is recorded in PR #134.

@codex Please take this in the SociOS-Linux/source-os Codex environment. One PR: add repo-local agent operating instructions as scoped in issue #122. Inspect the repo first and include validation evidence. Do not touch workstation implementation files.

@copilot Please take this if available. Keep scope bounded to issue #122. Add .github/copilot-instructions.md and AGENTS.md only, with validation evidence in one PR. Do not broaden scope.

Summary

• Added .github/copilot-instructions.md with repo-wide coding-agent guidance that enforces issue-first scope, bounded changes, high-risk path boundaries, and validation evidence requirements (including the required “Use the GitHub issue body as the source of truth” statement). .github/copilot-instructions.mdL1-L35
• Added AGENTS.md with repository operating rules, including “One repo, one issue, one PR,” required PR evidence sections, high-risk review expectations, and explicit non-goal boundaries (including no workstation file changes). AGENTS.mdL1-L34
• Committed the documentation changes on the current branch as docs: add repo-local agent operating instructions (commit 01cf6a3). .github/copilot-instructions.mdL1-L35 AGENTS.mdL1-L34
• Created a PR record via make_pr with title/body summarizing what changed, commands run, pass/fail outcomes, and known gaps per the request.
