Keep agent guidance in one root AGENTS.md (closes #31)
check / check (push) Failing after 9s

Writes down sneak's 2026-08-22 ruling: the in-repo memory rule that older vendored copies of `REPO_POLICIES.md` still carry was retired, not lost.

`prompts/REPO_POLICIES.md` gains one bullet after the files a new repo must contain: guidance for coding agents lives in one `AGENTS.md` at the repository root, never under a file or directory named after one agent tool, and never split into separate memory files. `AGENTS.md` joins the files allowed in the repo root, which would otherwise forbid it. Both checklists get the matching item; the existing-repo one says to move such a file's content into `AGENTS.md` and delete it.

The Dockerfile finding at the end of the issue is tracked in #90.
