Pull request overview
Updates the repository’s AI-agent guidance to discourage adding defensive programming inside internal code paths, aiming to reduce unnecessary guards and boilerplate raised in prior discussion (#34).
Changes:
- Add an explicit “No defensive code” guideline under Code Standards → Style in
AGENTS.md.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
