Every family repo squash-merges, so a PR's title and body become the
permanent commit message. This repo has among the family's longest
commit bodies — a median of 389 words per squash merge, against 28-107
in most family repos — because descriptions were used to show working.

Adds .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md and a "Commit messages" bullet
in AGENTS.md pointing at austraits-meta's convention. The template
uses prose placeholders rather than HTML comments, which a PR body
carries into the commit intact.
