Part of the coilysiren/inbox#365 teardown, which deletes .ward/ward.yaml from repos.

Moves agent.workflow into AGENTS.md frontmatter:

---
ward:
  workflow: pull-request-and-merge
---

The lane is doctrine about how this repo is worked, so it belongs beside the doctrine rather than in ward's config. Namespaced under ward: so it does not collide with harness-level frontmatter keys.

This one is not a no-op. Read before merging.

This is a PR-lane repo, one of five declaring pull-request-and-merge. Ward does not read AGENTS.md frontmatter yet, and cmd/ward/agent_workflow.go:32 sets defaultWorkflow = workflowDirectToMain (merge-remote-main).

So between this merging and coilyco-flight-deck/ward#1661 landing, a ward dispatch against this repo would resolve to merge-remote-main and push straight to main with no pull request.

Ward has been inert for weeks, so the hazard is dormant rather than live (Kai's call). ward#1661 is a blocker on ward resuming dispatch. The declaration here is doctrine in the meantime, and .ward/ward.yaml no longer carries the lane.

The 27 non-PR-lane repos in this sweep declared merge-remote-main, which is already the compiled default, so those are true no-ops. Only these five change resolved behavior while ward#1661 is open.

Mechanically checked

The edit refuses to run unless the workflow key is found and removed, the resulting YAML re-parses, commands and catalog are byte-identical afterward, and the new AGENTS.md stays under the 290-line / 26400-char documentation-layout caps counting the frontmatter itself.

Moves agent.workflow out of .ward/ward.yaml, part of deleting that file
(coilysiren/inbox#365). The lane is doctrine about how this repo is worked,
so it belongs beside the doctrine rather than in ward's config.

Ward does not read the new location yet (ward#1661). It resolves the lane
from ward.yaml and falls back to merge-remote-main when absent.
