Merged
Conversation
Append the canonical firstmate preamble so agents keep AGENTS.md concise and point to authoritative sources instead of duplicating codebase detail.

Intent
Captain-authorized firstmate preamble rollout: ensure this public video-artifact/dotfiles repo's existing AGENTS.md carries the canonical firstmate '## Maintaining this file' self-governance section. SMALL additive doc change only - append the exact canonical four-line block at the end of AGENTS.md if missing; do not rewrite other content, do not touch other files, do not create AGENTS.md if absent. Idempotent if the section is already present. Public repo: keep the change minimal and additive; never commit .no-mistakes/ validation evidence.
What Changed
AGENTS.mdthat defines what project knowledge belongs there and how to maintain it concisely.Risk Assessment
✅ Low: The change is a tightly scoped, additive AGENTS.md documentation update with no runtime or behavioral code impact.
Testing
Verified the target checkout and diff scope, then exercised the root agent-instructions surface with an exact-content check. The canonical section is present once at the end, prior guidance is unchanged, and AGENTS.md is the only changed file. This documentation-only agent-configuration change has no rendered UI, so the content-verification transcript is the reviewer-visible evidence.
Evidence: Canonical AGENTS.md rollout verification
PASS: AGENTS.md is the only changed path. PASS: The root agent guidance ends with one exact canonical "Maintaining this file" section. PASS: All preceding content is byte-for-byte the base revision, with only the required separator newline added before the appendix.Pipeline
