Draft an AGENTS.md for this repository. Inspect the project first. Include only durable facts: repository purpose, where source and tests live, required commands, validation expectations, formatting conventions, generated or forbidden paths, deployment boundaries, and any nested scope rules. Keep instructions short, specific, and possible to verify. Do not restate generic coding advice.

Why it helps
