Converge learnings wording to canonical + carry upstream-drift paragraph#801

Conversation
Replace the two AGENTS.md process-learning bullets (develop-staleness check and issue-closing keywords) with the canonical wording from the sibling repos. The old staleness bullet steered readers to git log / three-dot diff and claimed the two-dot `git diff origin/main origin/develop` "will not do" - which is exactly the check the canonical form now mandates (read its `-` lines; a deletion-only hunk is the real staleness signal). Also append the template's "In a derived repo:" upstream-drift reporting paragraph to copilot-instructions.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Brings the two AGENTS.md process-learning bullets into line with the canonical wording now shared by LanguageTags and Utilities, and carries the one missing template paragraph. Doc-only; targets
develop(this repo is intentionally held ondevelop, no promotion).What changed
git log origin/develop..origin/main/ a three-dot diff and asserted that a two-dotgit diff origin/main origin/develop"will not do" - the opposite of current guidance. Canonical uses exactlygit diff origin/main origin/develop, read by-lines, with a deletion-only hunk (-lines, no+lines) as the real staleness signal (a commit-log check is noisy in the bots-target-both model). Also adds the "'Mirror' means a follow-up PR onto develop, never a back-merge" clarifier.Both bullets are now byte-identical to the LanguageTags/Utilities
maintext; the paragraph is verbatim from the template. Everything else (markdownlint config, editorconfig, Dockertype=registrycache,retention-days: 1, every-tier Dependabot policy #799/#800) is already converged ondevelop.
