Keep Agents And README Fresh

Install the canonical Documentation Freshness policy into existing agent instruction files. This is an additive, one-time setup task.

Canonical Section

## Documentation Freshness

Repo reality is the source of truth. If `AGENTS.md` or `README.md` becomes false, update it in the same change when the fix is objective.

Objective facts include repo structure, tracked paths, setup commands, validation commands, runtime/tooling, skill/resource/prompt inventory, and workflow constraints proven by the repo.

- Update `AGENTS.md` when it is stale about agent-facing repo reality.
- Update `README.md` when it is stale about human-facing purpose, entry points, install, or use.
- Ask before changing policy, philosophy, positioning, or workflow intent.
- If both docs are stale, update both. Do not make them mirror each other unless the same fact belongs in both.
- Ignore temporary, generated, local-only, and unrelated untracked files.
- If unrelated user changes make docs look stale, ask before broadening scope.
