Three additions to agent-repos.md based on the post-A1-incident dogfood
batch (8 successes + 1 operator-induced "failure"):
1. Airouter Qwen3.6 section: pattern reconfirmed across M16 Wave A1/A2/B1
and M25 Waves A1-A5 + B1-B2. Time-to-success bands recorded for cost
calibration (1m30s for git rm; ~5 min for Pydantic regex; ~12 min for
class addition). Default --max-test-iterations 1 for cheap probes.
2. New section: Test Design for AI Agent Dogfood Pipelines. Triggered by
the M16 Wave B2 (MN-4 prompt cap) failure — a 14-minute airouter run
blamed on the agent that was actually an over-strict test asserting on
sanitised 422 body content. CP's RequestValidationError handler strips
Pydantic detail for security; tests asserting body content for that
path are structurally impossible. Rules: verify test passes against a
reference impl before pushing; status-code-only ceiling for validator-
driven 422s; model on previous successes not stricter variants; F70
retries don't recover structurally impossible tests.
3. New section: Dogfood Failure Path: Branch + Logs Lost. When all F70
retries exhaust, the agent's last attempt is not pushed to the agents
fork, the CP task record's logs field is empty, and the pod is gone.
Operator must reproduce locally — until F70 finalize-on-failure pushes
the failed branch.
BESTPRACTICES.md index updated to reflect the new sub-topics.

D4a (harness.yaml, 1 file) = success
D4b (CLAUDE.md, 1 file) = success
Both succeeded where original D4 (2 files) = silent no-output.
Pattern confirmed: single-file scope is the reliable unit for airouter/Qwen3.6.

Adds 3 new topic files (ai-parallel-agents, api-integration,
python-patterns) and extends 21 existing topic files with new gotchas
and patterns surfaced from memory across tracked projects. Index
updated accordingly.

Add 37 new entries and update 7 existing entries across 13 topic files.
Major contributions from agent-runtimes (K8s secrets, CI, Docker gotchas),
cluster-bootstrap (ArgoCD SSA, etcd tuning, DB migrations, Compose networking),
and cluster-apps/octopus-deploy (Helm vs raw manifests, ArgoCD source types).
