What Changed

• Reorganized technical convention documentation by removing redundant files (ci-validation.md, governance-documents.md) and consolidating their content
• Added new ai-compliance.md documentation (9 lines) to establish AI agent interaction standards
• Updated line endings and formatting across 12 documentation files in .github/tech-conventions/ and .github/ directories
• Removed deprecated sweep.yaml configuration file that was previously used for AI agent integration
• Synchronized workflow files including codeql-analysis.yml, fortress-completion-tests.yml, and scorecard.yml with standardized formatting
• Updated .cursorrules and .github/.env.base with consistent line-ending conventions across 500+ lines each

Why It Was Necessary

• Eliminates documentation duplication and conflicting guidance by consolidating CI validation and governance rules into existing documentation structures
• Establishes clearer AI agent compliance requirements through dedicated documentation rather than tool-specific configuration files
• Improves maintainability by removing the sweep.yaml dependency in favor of the more comprehensive AGENTS.md guidance system
• Ensures consistent file formatting across the repository to prevent diff noise and merge conflicts in future updates

Testing Performed

• Verified YAML syntax validity for all modified workflow files using standard YAML parsers
• Confirmed that removal of sweep.yaml does not break existing CI/CD pipelines or GitHub Actions
• Validated that documentation restructuring maintains all critical guidance previously available in deleted files
• Checked that line-ending normalization did not introduce functional changes to configuration files
• Confirmed .github/.env.base environment variable definitions remain intact after formatting updates

Impact / Risk

• Low Risk: Changes are primarily documentation restructuring and formatting normalization
• No Breaking Changes: Workflow files maintain identical functional behavior despite formatting updates
• Documentation Impact: Teams relying on deleted documentation files should reference consolidated sources in README.md and AGENTS.md
• CI/CD Continuity: All GitHub Actions workflows remain fully functional with no configuration changes to job definitions or triggers
