Review by commit.

CLAUDE.md becomes a one-line @AGENTS.md include so both Claude Code and other agent tooling read the same file, and the content that had drifted from the code is corrected. Everything asserted in AGENTS.md was checked against the source — the directory map was missing 8 of 22 apps (including audit/, which the text already referenced), and the conftest fixture list omitted four program-manager fixtures while telling readers to prefer fixtures over factories.

Two things worth a look because they're claims about behaviour, not prose:

  • The multidb note: DATABASE_ROUTERS is only installed when SECONDARY_DATABASE_URL is set (config/settings/base.py:52-56), so migrate_multi is single-DB locally. Please sanity-check that against how you actually run the secondary.
  • pyproject.toml gains two filterwarnings ignores (WhiteNoise's missing-static-dir, allauth importing its own deprecated module). Naive-datetime and RemovedInDjango60Warning are left visible on purpose.

.claude/settings.json allowlists pytest, prek and docker compose ps so agent-driven verification doesn't stop on permission prompts. uv run inv *, ./manage.py * and psql * are deliberately excluded — they contain inv deploy, migrate/shell -c, and arbitrary SQL respectively.

Safety Assurance

No application code changed. The pytest config change is the only thing that can affect CI — I ran subsets locally (~150 tests across utils, opportunity/test_models, opportunity/test_forms) rather than the full suite, so CI is the real check here.

  • This PR can be deployed: no configuration, commands, or manual steps required.

Only Claude Code expands the @-import; other agents saw a one-line file.

Walkthrough

The PR moves the project guidance into AGENTS.md and reduces CLAUDE.md to an include directive. It adds Claude Code command permissions and ignores local Claude state. It also configures pytest to suppress selected WhiteNoise and allauth warnings while keeping other warnings visible.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 92b40

The new shared instructions file still contains a Markdown lint error, which may cause documentation quality checks to fail. Correct it before merging.

Why the change?

I get that it's semantically probably more correct to have claude.md include the agents.md file as it's the "generic" file across agents, but I'm curious if there's other functional reasons as well?

Claude supports @imports but none of the others do so either we should delete AGENTS.md or make it the authority. I chose the latter.

Comment thread AGENTS.md
- **Required vs optional**: if only one feature needs it, degrade that feature alone — hide or disable the UI and say why (see `configured_provider` in `commcare_connect/users/templatetags/socialaccount_extras.py` and `commcare_connect/templates/ocs/_connect_prompt.html`). If the app genuinely can't work without it, fail loudly and early in the code path that needs it rather than half-working.
- **Never render broken UI**: don't emit a button, link or map that 500s or dead-ends when the config is absent
- **Set an explicit timeout on outbound calls**: all HTTP goes through **httpx**, which defaults to 5s — fine for quick calls, too short for bulk work, so pass a timeout sized to the operation (see `_make_request` in `commcare_connect/connect_id_client/main.py`: `timeout=10` default, 15–30s for bulk sends; `commcare_connect/ocs_provider/views.py`)
- **Dispatch Celery tasks after commit**: `ATOMIC_REQUESTS = True` means a bare `task.delay()` in a request can run before the transaction commits, so the worker may not see the rows it was told about. Wrap the dispatch: `transaction.on_commit(partial(task.delay, obj.pk))` (see `commcare_connect/form_receiver/processor.py`). Most views still call `.delay()` directly — don't copy that.

these seems safe though wondering if someone didn't want these allowed on their machines.

This is a minimal safe list. None of these are destructive.
