Claude Code reads AGENTS.md only when telemetry is on [fixed]

Claude Code 2.1.277 was announced to support AGENTS.md, which should be read when CLAUDE.md is absent. However, a user found that AGENTS.md only loaded if telemetry was enabled, as documented in Issue #95690. The user, who keeps telemetry off, observed that the file never loaded in their repositories. Until this is fixed, they are using a one-line CLAUDE.md for instructions and a symlink for skills.
