Make Copilot/Jules commit-authority grant self-visible in their own files
Every AI-agent-specific file linked to AGENTS.md for the roster and authority table, but several never stated the agent's own commit authority in the file that agent (or a human scanning it) actually reads — leaving the grant invisible without cross-referencing AGENTS.md. Some copilot-instructions.md files went further and actively said "Do not create commits unless explicitly asked," which directly contradicted the companywide grant. Fix: every COPILOT.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md, CODEX.md, and JULES.md now states its own agent's commit/push/tag authority explicitly, not just by reference.
