Note

Low Risk
Low risk documentation-only change that adds contributor/reviewer guidance with no runtime or behavioral impact.

Overview
Adds baseline review guidance for Cursor Bugbot in .cursor/BUGBOT.md, emphasizing up-to-date context, avoiding force-push recommendations, focusing on behavioral issues, and trusting CI.

Introduces AGENTS.md with shared guardrails for human/automated contributors (fast-forwarding to latest branch tip, prohibiting force-pushes of shared history, and running standard verification) plus a placeholder section for Cursor Cloud project-specific instructions.

Closing as superseded: the same docs work landed via chore/agentic-guardrails-policy (merged), which includes autonomy-first policy, multi-repo guidance, optional rebase, and explicit force-push rules. This older branch was the first-pass duplicate.
