Description

I run Hermes Webui with the two container setup. While looking at the actual system prompt being sent to my local llm, I saw that the AGENTS.md in this repo is injected into the system prompt. When I delete /app/AGENTS.md, it is no longer injected.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how AGENTS.md is loaded and included in the system prompt, likely via the agent's context builder or Docker volume mount, and propose a fix to exclude it or control its inclusion.
