docs: sync AGENTS.md with the shortlist reform rules

AGENTS.md still carried pre-reform Key Rules (mandatory alphabetical
ordering, "quality over quantity" lanes-era language, no prune-sweep
commit exception, no live-verification rule). Bring it in line with
CLAUDE.md and CONTRIBUTING.md: downloads-descending tier ordering,
3+2 cap, sweep-commit exception, verification rule. Also record the
UV_PYTHON=3.13 workaround for Python-3.14-only machines in both files'
Makefile notes, and complete CLAUDE.md's Makefile target list.

## Structure
- **README.md**: Source of truth for catalog entries and README sponsor placements. Hierarchical categories with alphabetically ordered entries.
- **README.md**: Source of truth for catalog entries and README sponsor placements. Hierarchical categories; entries ordered per the Key Rules below.
- **CONTRIBUTING.md**: Submission guidelines and review criteria.
- **SPONSORSHIP.md**: Sponsor tiers, placement rules, and the editorial-independence policy. `website/templates/sponsorship.html` separately defines which sponsorship content appears on the published website page.
- **website/**: Static site generator that builds awesome-python.com from README.md.

- **Makefile**: `make install`, `make build`, `make preview`, `make test`, `make lint`, `make format`, `make typecheck`, `make fetch_github_stars`. On machines with only Python 3.14, prefix uv-based targets with `UV_PYTHON=3.13` (watchdog 6.0.0 ships no 3.14 wheel and the project sets `no-build`).
- **pyproject.toml**: Uses `uv` for dependency management. Python >=3.13.
## Key Rules
- Alphabetical ordering within categories is mandatory.
- Quality over quantity. Only "awesome" projects.
- Ordering within a use case: obvious choices first, then challengers, each tier by PyPI downloads/month descending; no-signal entries last in tier, alphabetically. See CONTRIBUTING.md.
- A shortlist, not a catalog: per use case, up to 3 obvious choices plus up to 2 challengers, hard maximum 5.
- One project per PR.
- One entry per commit when adding or deleting entries. Format, wording, or categorization changes across multiple entries may be bundled in a single commit.
- One entry per commit when adding or deleting entries. Exception: a prune sweep is one commit per section, its body listing each removal with its reason. Format, wording, or categorization changes across multiple entries may be bundled in a single commit.
- Every keep/drop reason must be verified against current online data at decision time — download counts, repo activity and archived status, PyPI metadata, project docs. Training-data recollections alone are not evidence; verify before stating, and label anything unverifiable as a judgment call.
- README.md is the source of truth for catalog entries and README sponsor placements; treat `SPONSORSHIP.md` and `website/templates/sponsorship.html` as separate sponsorship content surfaces.
