Adds agent instructions file and corrects outdated documentation metadata about the build process.

Changes

  • AGENTS.md: Agent instructions following repository convention

    • Scope/constraints: documentation-focused, minimal edits, v4 preferred over legacy v2/v3
    • Do/Don't table for common patterns (.md links not .html, run docfx builds, update toc.yml)
    • Delegates to READMEs as source of truth for build/content workflows
  • build/README.md: Fixed "What does the script do?" section

    • Was: "Install docfx via dotnet tool restore from .config/dotnet-tools.json"
    • Now: "Download docfx binaries (temporary .NET 10 workaround)"
    • Reflects actual build-metadata.ps1 implementation
  • docs/README.md: Fixed "Installing docfx" section

    • Removed non-existent .config/dotnet-tools.json reference
    • Clarified docfx auto-downloads via build-metadata.ps1

@copilot update metadata based on latest changes

Correct outdated references to .config/dotnet-tools.json to reflect the actual implementation where docfx binaries are downloaded directly by build-metadata.ps1 as a temporary workaround for .NET 10 support.

@copilot update metadata based on latest changes

Updated in f94b2db. Corrected outdated references to .config/dotnet-tools.json in both build/README.md and docs/README.md to reflect the actual implementation where docfx binaries are downloaded directly by build-metadata.ps1 as a temporary workaround for .NET 10 support.
