AGENTS.md described style in one paragraph that said little more than "follow the surrounding code", which was not actionable once files had drifted apart. Replace it with an explicit specification. The canonical style is Emacs cc-mode "stroustrup" with tabs enabled: a 4-column offset with 8-column tabs, so depth 1 is four spaces, depth 2 is one tab, depth 3 is a tab plus four spaces. Most of src/ already followed this; what looked like randomly mixed tabs and spaces was simply cc-mode output. Document the byte ladder explicitly, since editors that expand tabs or assume a 4-column tab silently corrupt it. Rules beyond indentation are derived from counted majorities in the existing code rather than invented: errctx over e (92 to 45), padded control parens (140 to 7), pointer binding to the identifier (486 to 5), and always-brace (only four unbraced bodies exist). Brace and else placement are called out as house conventions that cc-mode does not enforce, so "run the indenter" and "follow the guide" cannot conflict. Also record the naming, error-handling, and API-surface rules that a consistency sweep showed were being broken silently -- in particular that a *_RETURN macro inside an ATTEMPT block skips CLEANUP. Add the tooling to apply it: .dir-locals.el applies the style to every c-mode buffer scripts/reindent.el batch reindent via Emacs scripts/reindent.sh reindent or --check the tree scripts/hooks/pre-commit reindents staged sources reindent.el deliberately avoids Emacs' tabify: its tabify-regexp is " [ \t]+", which is not anchored to the start of a line, so it rewrites runs of spaces anywhere and destroys the hand-aligned value columns in the bit-flag tables in actor.h and iterator.h. Only leading whitespace is ever rewritten, and lines starting inside a string literal are skipped. The hook checks staged content rather than the working tree, so what is committed is what was verified. It re-stages a fixed file only when the index and working tree agree, otherwise a partial `git add -p` would sweep unstaged work into the commit.
