AGENTS.md follow-up - #3912
Conversation

changed the title
The Build line offers a CONFIG+=headless serveronly build; the Testing line
then connects a client. That binary rejects -c:
$ ./Jamulus -n -c localhost
./Jamulus: Client only option(s) '--connect' used. See '--help' for help
(exit 1; built from 11a28d5)
One clause closes the contradiction.

'One logical change per PR' and 'smallest change' are line 5, bold, above the fold; 'Builds? Tested?' are the Testing and Always lines. This file is prepended to every prompt, so each repeat costs context on every call. 'See CONTRIBUTING.md' stays in Read when relevant, where it carries a when-to-read note.

The last bullet was the fragment "Disclose AI-generated text" with no form and no pointer. It now names where the rule is stated rather than restating it, so there is still one copy of the form and it is the one in AGENTS.md.

Otherwise, I think it's good. Thanks

Somewhat unrelated, but maybe a TESTING.md in the agents/ folder would also be good which adds explicit commands for JSON-RPC setup (e.g. give it some hints to call the api, tell it that a secrets file on macOS may be inaccessible due to sandboxing,...) |

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The documentation improves client-testing guidance, but its unqualified build command may send macOS contributors to an unsupported build path.

qmake && makeis the Linux build command in this file. The macOS section usesxcodebuild, ormacx-clangwhen usingmake. As written, this sentence can direct macOS contributors to a command that does not match the documented macOS build. State that the client must use the normal non-serveronlybuild and reference the platform-specific commands.This finding is based on the platform-specific build commands in

🤖 AI: Follow-up to #3785, on the invitation there. Three one-line changes; each traces to a point raised in that review, each stands alone, and any can be dropped if it fails the stable-and-general bar.
Nothing here adds a rule to
AGENTS.md: 3 insertions against 3 deletions, so the file gains no line and ends at 654 words against 651 onmain. On #3910 the point was made thatCONTRIBUTING.mdis the primary source of truth, withAGENTS.mdas the guidance to it — so a rule stated only in the agent file is the defect, not the fix. Three candidates that would otherwise have landed here are held forCONTRIBUTING.md: wire-format compatibility, the clang-format lists that have to move together, and treating a code comment or a commit message as a claim like any other.Short description of changes
