Refine AI Agent Guidelines Workflow

1. Summary

This ticket addresses the observation that the "ticket-first" mandate within AGENTS.md was frequently being bypassed by AI agents. The hypothesis is that once an agent enters a "flow state" for a coding task, it deprioritizes procedural checks.

2. Goal

The goal was to restructure the development workflow in AGENTS.md to make the ticket-creation step a non-negotiable "gate" rather than a step in a linear process. This change is intended to align with the AI's natural processing logic and improve compliance.

3. Changes Implemented

• The ## 4. Development Workflow section was replaced with a new ## 4. Development Workflow: Triage and Gating Protocol.
• This new protocol explicitly separates tasks into "Conceptual" and "Actionable".
• For actionable tasks, it establishes a mandatory "Ticket-First" Gate, stating that no file modification tools can be used until a ticket is created.
• The important concept of the self-improving knowledge base was preserved and reframed under a new ### The Virtuous Cycle: Enhancing the Knowledge Base subsection, which logically follows the implementation steps.

4. Status

This task is complete. The changes have been applied to AGENTS.md.
