Pull request overview
Adds an “Upstream contribution policy” section to AGENTS.md, clarifying when changes should be proposed to upstream federation backends vs. implemented in FOSSE-specific code, using the Bluesky-native-publishing epic as an example.
Changes:
- Documented an upstream-first rule of thumb for post-type-agnostic correctness vs. FOSSE-shape-specific behavior.
- Added a worked example mapping which parts belong upstream vs. in FOSSE.

Summary
Adds a new "Upstream contribution policy" section to `AGENTS.md` (after "Common Pitfalls"). Codifies the rule: post-type-agnostic correctness goes upstream; FOSSE-shape-specific behavior stays in FOSSE. Uses the current Bluesky-native-publishing epic as the worked example — but the policy itself stands on its own.
Implements Task 7 of `sdd/bluesky-native-publishing/plan.md`. Originally opened as a stacked PR on #18, retargeted to trunk because the two aren't tightly coupled: even if the SDD plan in #18 gets reshaped, this policy holds.
Closes DOTCOM-16812 once merged.
