docs(AGENTS): restore trimmed §5, drop refs to deleted TODO.md The issue-triage §5 was lost when the previous commit was saved; restore the lean version (verdict vocabulary + two canned close templates) with the boundaries referenced from §4 rather than restated, to avoid the redundancy §5 used to carry. Repoint the §2/§4 cross-references off the now-removed TODO.md (content moved to GitHub issues) and the old §5 WI-/C- item labels onto §4/§5. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]>

Improve Android test coverage (#651) * Improve Android test coverage * Run instrumentation tests in CI * ci: warm offline dependency cache for test-only artifacts :app:dependencies only resolves dependency metadata, so the offline unit-test and instrumentation runs failed to find newly added test-scoped artifacts (mockwebserver3, androidx.test.*) that were never downloaded. Build the unit-test and androidTest variants online in the prefetch step so their classpaths are cached beforehand. * ci: run connectedFdroidDebugAndroidTest online The Unified Test Platform runner classpath (UTP, dagger, protobuf, kotlinx-coroutines, etc.) is a separate Gradle configuration only resolved once a device is connected, so it wasn't covered by the androidTest classpath prefetch and --offline failed to find it. Instrumentation tests already need network access for emulator/system image setup, so drop --offline here rather than prefetch every UTP transitive dependency by hand.

docs: add AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md agent guide, move issue-triage rationale Introduce a tool-agnostic AGENTS.md as the single source of truth for navigating and building the project (repo layout, load-bearing files, build/test/lint commands, design philosophy) plus the durable rationale for reviewing issues (verdict vocabulary, by-construction boundaries, canned close templates). CLAUDE.md imports it via @AGENTS.md so Claude Code inlines it at load time. Move the reviewing rationale out of the point-in-time OPEN_ISSUES_TRIAGE.md (now removed) into AGENTS.md, dropping the ephemeral per-issue tracker. Add a thin wgbridge-rs/CLAUDE.md + AGENTS.md that import the crate's existing README for anyone working on the Rust WireGuard bridge. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]>
