Description
This PR adds documentation to AGENTS.md covering two critical patterns for CLI development: proper handling of non-TTY environments (CI/automated contexts) and user cancellation flows. These patterns ensure the CLI behaves correctly when run in piped output, automated scripts, or when users cancel interactive prompts.
