Pull request overview
This PR removes the GitHub Agentic Workflows–based “repo improver” automation from the repository and tightens the documented policy around introducing new R package dependencies, aligning contributor guidance with a stricter “feature-only” dependency approach.
Changes:
- Strengthened dependency-addition policy in
AGENTS.md(feature-only, prefer existing deps/base R, and require justification + cleandevtools::check()for dependency PRs). - Removed the “Repository Improver” workflow definition (
.github/workflows/repo-improver.md) and its generated lock workflow (.github/workflows/repo-improver.lock.yml). - Removed the
.gitattributesrule that treated*.lock.ymlworkflow lockfiles as generated / merge=ours (no longer applicable after deleting the lockfile).

This pull request primarily removes the automated repository improvement workflow and strengthens the project's policy around adding new package dependencies. The most important changes are summarized below:
Dependency management policy updates:
AGENTS.mdto state that new package dependencies are only allowed for concrete new features when existing dependencies and a small, maintainable custom implementation are inadequate, unsafe, or would duplicate substantial mature functionality. The policy also specifies that dependencies should not be added for bug fixes, documentation, formatting, developer convenience, or trivial helpers, and that dependency-changing pull requests must document alternatives and justify the addition.AGENTS.mdto prohibit adding package dependencies outside this stricter feature-only dependency policy.Workflow and configuration cleanup:
.github/workflows/repo-improver.mdfile, removing the daily automated repository improvement workflow and its instructions..gitattributesrule marking workflow lockfiles as generated and using a merge strategy, as these files are no longer present.
