docs: add an agent guide - #1137

Conversation
The Copilot instructions described an outdated setup (SDK 9, the .nuke folder, a test.settings.json file) and only served one tool. A short AGENTS.md with the hard constraints of this repository, plus deeper docs under Docs/agents that are read only when needed, gives contributors and every coding agent the same verified starting point. Docs/agents/design-goals.md gives every change the same priorities. Correctness is a must; the other goals are strong defaults and win in this order when they conflict: - Stable and compatible - AOT and trimming friendly - A consistent, discoverable and pleasant API - Fast, especially on the happy path - Extensible - Errors at compile time rather than at run time - Documented and pleasant to read, using Docusaurus features where they help It also sets the code rules (modern C# within the target frameworks, async rules including ConfigureAwait(false), patterns to avoid), the checks before a commit (including no new Sonar findings and asking before suppressing one), and how to handle review findings. Goals of this repository: - Behaves like the real system - Interfaces mirror the BCL exactly - Mocks fail like the real system - OS behaviour through the mock's own context - Consistent mock-only API - Deliberate package evolution - Thread-safe mock state
