Make AGENTS.md the single source of truth - #9

Conversation
Claude Code reads AGENTS.md as the project instructions when no CLAUDE.md exists in the working directory or above it (default claude-md-or-agents-md, Claude Code 2.1.277+). The CLAUDE.md compatibility shim is no longer needed, so AGENTS.md becomes the single source of truth. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Claude Code reads
AGENTS.mdas the project instructions when there is noCLAUDE.mdin the working directory or above it. That is the default (claude-md-or-agents-md) and needs Claude Code 2.1.277 or later; this machine is on 2.1.278. So theCLAUDE.mdcompatibility shim has no job left, andAGENTS.mdbecomes the single source of truth.Nothing about the instructions themselves changes. Where
CLAUDE.mdwas a symlink toAGENTS.mdit is simply removed; where the symlink pointed the other way, the real file is moved toAGENTS.md.Live pointers to the removed file are updated in the same commit. Historical mentions in WORKLOG, changelogs and memory notes are left alone, since those are records of what happened.
