List the version skew rules a code change is most likely to break, so developers' agents follow them without opening the policy.

They apply from v1.0.0.

  • Tests pass
  • Docs updated

ok now this is a PR I'm definitely having an agent review :-)

big +1 for the concept, I think we need to nail down the details, agents take things very literally.

Until v1.0.0, the Backward Compatibility section of AGENTS.md tells
agents not to add compatibility code, and every agent session loads the
file. So the version skew section is a pointer to the policy for now.
The summary can come back when that section goes.

Fix two gaps in the policy. Components that upgrade before
ate-controller run against the N CRDs, and atelet watches WorkerPool
and SandboxConfig. ateworker reads sandbox-runtimes.json, which atelet
writes, and decodes it strictly, so a new field there takes two
releases.
