Successfully added Gate 0 (Deduplication) and Epic Granularity constraints to the AGENTS.md and AGENTS_STARTUP.md manual to ensure strict ticket hygiene and prevent 'one-shots'.

Strategic Context
Agent swarm stability relies on rigid markdown policies for operational constraints. Currently, agents lack instruction to actively deduplicate tasks or properly manage Epic-to-Issue boundaries, causing protocol breakdowns.
Architectural Reality
AGENTS.mdandAGENTS_STARTUP.mdmust be structurally expanded.grep_searchonresources/content/issuesandresources/content/discussionsto prevent duplicate tracking before creation.
