Clarify mirror != back-merge and fix staleness-parenthetical grammar#239
Merged
Conversation
Bring the develop-mirror learning in line with the converged wording in the
sibling repo: state explicitly that "mirror" means a follow-up PR onto develop,
never a main -> develop back-merge (which the forward-only rule forbids), and add
the missing verb in the staleness parenthetical ("occasionally develop is
reworking"). Both refinements came out of the Copilot review loop downstream.

Brings the develop-mirror learning in
AGENTS.mdinto line with the fully-converged wording in the sibling repo (both refinements surfaced from the Copilot review loop there):developvia a follow-up PR targetingdevelop- never amain -> developback-merge (which the forward-only rule forbids). Removes an ambiguity a reviewer flagged: "Mirror to develop" could otherwise be misread as recommending a back-merge.developis reworking amain-side fix differently").Net effect: the mirror/staleness bullet is now byte-identical to the sibling repo's, so the two read consistently.
Targets
develop; thedevelop -> mainpromotion PR will carry it. No issue to close.
