[Bryan Fawcett (bryanfawcett)]

Owner-approved (2026-10-24, "brief yes"). This adds a Mission section near the top of AGENTS.md, so every agent in the org reads it first:

• What we are building: open data on published open standards, with no proprietary data structures, built to compete globally.
• The ecosystem: Bundu Foundation, Nyuchi Africa, Mukoko (with Kweli) and Mzizi, plus the four gateways.
• The engineering bar:
  • open standards by default (nyuchi-api#369);
  • nothing crashes;
  • everything ships to production;
  • never close a conflicting PR;
  • one canonical id across systems;
  • honesty.
• Mzizi is the rule: filling a design-system gap needs no approval.
• The dependency-version policy decided the same day:
  • first-party packages and direct dependencies are minimum versions only;
  • known-breaking third-party selectors and the runtime dependencies of published packages are capped within their major.

Checked locally: prettier 3.9.4, markdownlint-cli2 and oxfmt 0.70.0 are clean.
