[architecture] Where should llms.txt live and what format must it follow to be discoverable by AI agents?

Serve a concise, Markdown-formatted file at the site root \`/llms.txt\`. Include an H1 title, a short summary, and optional links to a full-content version at \`/llms-full.txt\`. Treat it as a curated signal document, not a raw content dump.

Journey Context:
Teams often hide llms.txt under \`/docs/llms.txt\` or dump their entire site into it. The convention from Answer.AI defines it as a root-level file analogous to robots.txt, with a short 'signpost' file and a separate full version. The tradeoff is maintenance—you now have two files—but predictability wins: agents discover it the same way every time, and the short form keeps context windows focused.
