 ### Always do these:
 
+- **ALWAYS update `AGENTS.md` when your work changes anything documented here** —
+  architecture, file paths, new files, Payload config, known issues, workflows. Do
+  this in the same task, not as a follow-up. The intro says this too but it bears
+  repeating as a hard rule: the next agent reads this file first and will be misled
+  by stale information.
+
 - **ALWAYS use `bun typecheck` to validate your work**, never `bun build`. Typecheck
   is fast and sufficient. Build is slow and for production deployments only.

+**Note on `globals.d.ts`:** The Convex runtime supports `process.env` for reading
+environment variables set in the Convex Dashboard. Because the Convex tsconfig does
+not include `@types/node`, `process` would otherwise be untyped. `globals.d.ts`
+declares `process.env` with the specific variables this backend uses. If you add a
+new env var to the Convex backend, add it here too so TypeScript and ESLint are happy.

+**Note on `convex/utils.ts`:** This file may be regenerated by `convex dev` as a
+Convex CLI utility scaffold. It contains `missingEnvVariableUrl` / `deploymentName`
+helpers that reference `CONVEX_CLOUD_URL` — a Convex Cloud concept irrelevant to this
+self-hosted setup. If the file reappears, you can safely delete it (nothing in the
+codebase imports it) or leave it — it won't affect runtime behaviour since the
+functions are never called.
