[codex] Scope GitHub issue guidance for live ops

[tomcasaburi]

Summary

• Clarifies that the GitHub issue requirement applies to repository feature and bug-fix work.
• Adds a task-router row for routine live node/community configuration operations.
• Adds guardrails to avoid public GitHub artifacts for private operational tasks or sensitive infrastructure details unless explicitly requested.

Validation

Docs-only change. No build or test suite was run.

---

Note

Low Risk
Docs-only updates to agent guidance; no runtime behavior changes, with minimal risk beyond potentially altering workflow expectations.

Overview
Updates AGENTS.md to scope the “create a GitHub issue” requirement to repo feature/bug-fix work, and adds explicit live-ops guardrails (don’t create public GitHub artifacts for routine operations unless requested; avoid leaking sensitive infra details).

Also extends the task router with a new row covering routine node/community configuration workflows and expected verification/summarization steps.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Documentation-only updates to AGENTS.md clarify agent instructions by adding a routine node/community config entry to the Task Router table and expanding the GitHub Issues section with rules distinguishing feature work from live operations, requiring artifact confirmation, and prohibiting private infrastructure details.

Changes

AGENTS.md agent guidance updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Task Router routine config instruction AGENTS.md	Task Router table adds a specific instruction for "Routine node/community config" with a defined workflow: perform requested operation, verify result, and summarize outcome. GitHub issues are restricted unless explicitly requested for this task type.
GitHub Issues operational and security rules AGENTS.md	GitHub Issues section is expanded to distinguish feature implementation work (requiring issue creation, updates, and closure prompts) from routine live operations (forbidden from auto-creating issues unless requested). New rules require user confirmation before creating potentially ambiguous public artifacts and explicitly ban private infrastructure details, secrets, API keys, and user operational data from GitHub content and commit messages.

Poem

🐰 A rabbit revises the guidance so clear,
Routing tasks with rules the agents revere,
Routine ops stay private, no secrets exposed,
Features get GitHub issues, nicely composed,
Security first, with a hop and a bound! 🌿
