What robots and AI may and may not do Derived, awaiting review
May
- read: Start with AGENTS.md, registry and requested bundle/layer paths.
- add: Create AGENTS.md first; use stable IDs and the canonical serial naming pattern.
- edit: Preserve artifact identity, provenance and version history.
- delete: Deprecate first; preserve traceability and migration instructions.
Note: No explicit prohibitions for agents.
