docs(agents): add the rules for user-facing text - #2190
Conversation
Add a subsection to the conventions covering text printed for a person: the one test a message must pass, what belongs on a lasting surface instead of before the box shell, and what specifying, changing, and reviewing a message requires.
Scope the rule against printing before the box shell to new messages on an interactive attach. A line that a spec requires at session start stays until that spec changes, so the rule no longer contradicts the lines the box-networking spec requires today. State the decided prompt behaviour: a prompt is for a decision the command cannot continue without, and without a terminal or with --no-input it is an immediate error that names the flag. Add the rules for arguments in commands, labels beside pass and fail marks, conditions with several outcomes, and separate facts. Say which product terms are not internal components, and where to record a spec line that must follow. Reword the phrases the prose rules rejected. just lint-prose AGENTS.md now reports no alert on the lines of this section.

Review comments at @AGENTS.md:
- Around line 255-256: Update the guidance near “Anything else worth telling” to
distinguish audiences: direct information users need to persistent user-facing
surfaces such as `min ls`, `min session policy`, `min dash`, or an in-box
notice, and reserve logs for operator diagnostics.
- Line 224: Update the command-argument guidance in AGENTS.md to show known
values only when safe to display; use angle-bracket placeholders for unknown or
sensitive values, except when a documented workflow requires a one-time literal
handoff.

Approved: no findings at Nothing to do. Clobber: none: |
Add a secrets clause to the argument rule, scope the prompt bullets to new lines and new prompts, say which surface is for the user and which is the log, define a healthy start and stdout output, and say a spec pins text.

AGENTS.md stated conventions for code, tests, and inventory counts, but had no rules for the text the tools print to a person. That text is part of the product, and nothing in the contract said how to write, place, specify, or review it.
