📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Updates markdown-lint rules and top-level ignores, reflows AGENTS.md text, and extends the Claude Code CI guidance to allow issue-labeled triggers with elevated job permissions and a pinned action version. Also adds a minor spacing edit to dependabot policy.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Markdown Linting Configuration .markdownlint-cli2.yaml	Added ignores for .claude/** and node_modules/**. Converted MD013 to a rule with line_length: 200 (excluding tables/code), enabled MD032, changed MD024 to siblings_only: true, set MD034: true (disallow bare URLs), added MD060: false, retained MD033: false and MD041: true.
Agent & Docs Reflow AGENTS.md	Reflowed paragraphs and lists (whitespace/line-wrapping, indentation adjustments) and reformatted some inline links to angle-bracket form; no semantic/content changes.
Claude CI Workflow standards/ci-standards.md	Documented adding issues: labeled trigger and if for claude label, changed job permissions to include contents: write, pinned anthropics/claude-code-action to a specific v1.0.89 SHA, added label_trigger: "claude", and documented label requirements and issue-trigger security.
Dependabot Docs standards/dependabot-policy.md	Inserted a blank line under “Behavior:” in the Auto-Merge Workflow section (formatting-only).

• Reformats Markdown in AGENTS.md and standards docs to address lint rules (line length, blank lines around lists, bare URLs).
• Updates standards/ci-standards.md content around the Claude Code workflow configuration and target action version.
• Enables/enforces markdownlint rules in .markdownlint-cli2.yaml and expands ignore patterns.

Reviewed changes

Copilot reviewed 4 out of 4 changed files in this pull request and generated 12 comments.

File	Description
AGENTS.md	Wrapped long lines / URL formatting updates; however, several list items appear to have broken Markdown structure due to missing continuation indentation.
standards/ci-standards.md	Adds/updates Claude workflow guidance and permissions; currently appears inconsistent with the repo’s implemented .github/workflows/claude.yml and audit script behavior.
standards/dependabot-policy.md	Adds required blank line before a list to satisfy list-spacing rules.
.markdownlint-cli2.yaml	Enables MD013/MD024/MD032/MD034 (and other config tweaks) and adds ignore patterns.
