The canonical REPO_POLICIES.md now says that guidance for coding agents lives in one AGENTS.md at the repository root, never committed under a file or directory named after one agent tool and never split into separate memory files. This retires the in-repo memory rule that older vendored copies still carry.
AGENTS.md is added to the list of files allowed in the root, which would otherwise contradict the new rule. Both checklists carry the matching item.
