Adds a comprehensive AGENTS.md at the repo root with project conventions, build/test commands, and code-style guidance distilled from CI workflows and existing source. Updates copilot-instructions.md with a leading note directing agents to AGENTS.md as the canonical source, avoiding drift between the two files. Assisted-by: GitHub Copilot:claude-opus-4.7
Adds guidance on choosing between premium and cheap models for code-assistant work, including escalation/de-escalation triggers, sub-agent routing defaults, /fleet rules, and session-hygiene tips. Keeps premium reasoning for genuinely hard problems and routes mechanical work to cheaper models. Assisted-by: GitHub Copilot:claude-opus-4.7

This PR adds an
AGENTS.mdfile (see agents.md) tailored to this repository, distilled from the project's CI workflows, configuration, source layout, and conventions. The goal is to give any AI coding agent (Copilot, Claude, Cursor, etc.) enough repo-specific context to be immediately productive without re-deriving conventions from scratch.Commit 1 —
docs: add AGENTS.md ...AGENTS.mdwith project overview, build/test/lint/fmt commands, code layout, contribution patterns, and any quirks observed (e.g.,defmtfeature constraints, nightly-onlyrustfmt.tomloptions, workspace layout)..github/copilot-instructions.mdupdated to point atAGENTS.mdas the authoritative source, so Copilot-specific configuration does not drift out of sync with the broader agent guidance. Where nocopilot-instructions.mdexisted, a minimal pointer file was added.Commit 2 —
docs(AGENTS.md): add model selection & cost discipline section/fleetrules, and session-hygiene tips. The aim is to keep premium reasoning for genuinely hard work and route mechanical edits to cheaper models, reducing wasted spend without sacrificing quality.No source code, dependencies, or CI behavior is changed by this PR — it is documentation only.
Marked as draft for review; happy to iterate on tone, scope, or any repo-specific detail that should be tightened up.
