What's Wrong?
When launching claude in a repo with only AGENTS.md, it logs this noisy useless message:
⏺ agents-md: no CLAUDE.md found; AGENTS.md loaded: /my/dir
What Should Happen?
No message should be shown, it should silently read the file like it does for every other files without informing the user it did.
