AGENTS.md is the ask, not the check: every rule should be backed by a gate

Dan Vega's principle for AGENTS.md hygiene: a rule in a file is a request, a gate in your build is proof. Go through your AGENTS.md line by line and ask what checks it — every line with no answer is either a gate you haven't written or code you still need to verify manually.
