Description

Add repository-level guidance for human contributors and AI agents working on Rogue. This introduces AGENTS.md, a project-wide DEVELOPMENT.md, expanded test methodology documentation, and a standardized docs/plans/<task-name>/ location for substantial planning, progress, handoff, decision, and completion notes.

Details

• Document the preferred Miniforge/rogue_build local build flow, CI expectations, C++/Python conventions, public API change checklist, documentation expectations, packaging notes, and PR guidance.
• Add test methodology guidance for Python and native C++ tests, including marker/label selection and the policy against source-audit tests.
• Remove old vestigial planning documents from docs/plans/ and replace them with a reusable work-plan policy.
• Remove audit-style native C++ tests under tests/cpp/protocols/hardware/ and update C++ test documentation accordingly.

Validation: checked the edited Markdown files for tabs/trailing whitespace during the documentation updates. Ran a CMake configure with -DROGUE_BUILD_TESTS=ON and listed native C++ tests with ctest -N -L cpp after removing the audit-style C++ tests.
