Adds a GEMINI.md pointer file to this repository.

Why. An estate-wide census found a large asymmetry in agent-instruction
files: CLAUDE.md was present almost everywhere, GEMINI.md in a handful of
repositories. Any coding agent that looks for GEMINI.md and does not find one
proceeds with no repository-specific instructions at all.

This file is a pointer, not a second copy of the instructions. Duplicating
guidance across per-agent files guarantees the copies drift. The pointer
redirects to whichever file this repository actually maintains — AGENTS.md
where one exists, otherwise CLAUDE.md — and says to retarget it at
AGENTS.md when one lands.

How this commit was built. The change was made with git plumbing against
origin/<default branch>, not by staging a working tree. The branch contains
exactly one commit adding exactly one file, and carries none of the unrelated
local state present in this checkout. A per-repository assertion required
git diff --name-only <base> <commit> to equal the expected path set exactly,
or the branch was never created.

This PR is opened as a draft on purpose. It is part of a bulk campaign and
is not requesting a merge. Review and merge at your discretion.

Adds a GEMINI.md pointer so Gemini-family agents are not blind to the
repository instructions that CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md already carries
(task #50). The file is a pointer, never a duplicate of the rules.
