Given the scope that AGENTS has, I would use PRs to test those changes and discuss them like any other large-impact area of the codebase (like configs).

If you wanted to be more “corporate” about it, then assuming that devs are using some enterprise wrapper around Claude or whatever, I would bake an instruction into the system prompt that ensures that AGENTS is only read from the main branch to force this convention.

This is harder to guarantee since these tools are non-deterministic.
