An AGENTS.md that only restates the documented ones saves nobody anything. I doubt the maintainers want to write down the stuff they currently catch by instinct, like which subsystem takes which kind of patch. If they don’t, the file becomes a style guide nobody reads, same as the coding style doc is for most first-time contributors.
I’m not convinced a clean-room build stays clean when you’re testing black-box against something that moves as much as 24H2, because it depends entirely on where you draw the line around each behaviour. What’s the plan for keeping that line honest as the codebase grows?
