This repository's AGENTS.md is 37,109 bytes, past Codex's 32 KiB (32,768-byte) default instruction limit, so a Codex session stops reading before the end of the file and works without the conventions that follow the cut. The one-conventions-file rule (itd-2610030814013772, adr-2610030814023326) changes a count of files, not bytes: a file past a native reader's cap is, for that reader, not one file.

Grounds

• pursued: AGENTS.md stays below 32 KiB and the moved detail is recalled by the loader (TestAgentsMDFitsTheSmallestReadersCap, TestAgentsMDDetailMovedUnderTheLoaderIsRecalled); a host reading only AGENTS.md acting against a rule whose short form dropped a load-bearing clause would show it wrong.
