Agent-related files should've been dot-files at least to minimize human error. In fact, I'd been discussing: shouldn't agent instructions exist on a per-developer basis, and thus be an IDE setting for each individual, removed from the repository itself? Agent instructions don't add content to the source code, after all. It's like additional READMEs, but we already have a README.

Not really, the closest analogy: Makefile or .editorconfig - it's created for a tool, committed on purpose.

Hah I don't really trust these "accidental leaks"...
