Every agent session reads AGENTS.md in full, so its length is a cost paid on every task. It had grown to 37 KB with no expiry mechanism.

New ## Maintaining this file section — trim as you add, record the decision and not the investigation, give every accepted risk an expiry, one home per fact.

Compressed the rest: 37673 -> 28867 bytes, 443 -> 359 lines. The 30 flat 'deviations' bullets are now grouped under Structure & contracts / Authorization / i18n / UI / Build, test & release, so the section is scannable.

Verified nothing actionable was lost by diffing every backticked identifier across both versions; that caught four real drops, all restored (the div + ARIA rule, bootstrap's ./plugins mount footgun, the watchedPage() half of the console guard, and fetch-tags: true). What stayed cut is history, superseded guidance and duplicate examples.

Also fixes a copy-paste defect: the RTL entry ended with two sentences duplicated verbatim from the locales/ entry above it.

Stacked on node-modules-ownership (PR #60) — merge that one first.
