Some of the instructions were stale; some things seem to be base model problems like not understanding how to use file loggers.

Updates AGENTS.md build/test guidance to reduce stale instructions and improve troubleshooting workflows for building and running tests in this repo.

  • Adds an “Individual projects” build command and tweaks bootstrap-environment wording.
  • Simplifies per-project test commands and adds an example for running a single test with --filter.

Comment thread AGENTS.md
