chore: switch to engineering-practices and stop committing .rules

[therockstorm]

Summary

• Removes the @clipboard-health/ai-rules devDependency and its lockfile entry (via the repository's npm, 11.11).
• sync-ai-rules now runs engineering-practices-sync common from the private @clipboard-health/engineering-practices package through npm exec, keeping the common profile. || true keeps installs working without NPM_TOKEN. The repository has no postinstall and this PR adds none; run node --run sync-ai-rules to sync.
• .rules/ is untracked and in .gitignore. The regenerated AGENTS.md stays committed, with OVERLAY.md appended as before.

Evidence

• With NPM_TOKEN loaded, node --run sync-ai-rules printed ✅ @clipboard-health/engineering-practices synced common (19 rules) and 📎 Appended OVERLAY.md to AGENTS.md. It regenerated .rules/ locally (ignored) and updated AGENTS.md (index header, new rules, reworded descriptions).
• npm ci succeeds after the dependency removal.
• No other file in the repository references ai-rules or reads .rules/.

Merge Danger

• Contributors without NPM_TOKEN and review bots no longer see .rules/; the sync is skipped for them. The committed AGENTS.md index stays, but its links point to files they do not have.
• npm exec ...@latest runs the newest published package whenever someone runs the script, so a bad release affects that run until fixed. || true limits the damage to stale rules.

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update generated guidance integration AGENTS.md, package.json	AGENTS.md attributes its guidance to @clipboard-health/engineering-practices and revises its rule table. The sync script invokes that package’s common sync command. The @clipboard-health/ai-rules dev dependency is removed.
Remove tracked common rules .rules/common/*, .gitignore	The common guidance files are deleted. .rules/ is added to .gitignore.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a881e

Contributors and review bots without NPM_TOKEN cannot access the detailed common practices referenced by AGENTS.md. This is a bounded development and review risk; provide an accessible copy of the guidance.

Review comments at @.gitignore:
- Line 42: Remove the .rules ignore entry and restore the committed common rules
so a clean checkout includes the guidance referenced by AGENTS.md without
relying on the sync command.
