Summary

Adds a ## Generated files section to AGENTS.md naming the paths automation owns, and cross-links it from ## Changelog entries.

Context: in #6734 the docs agent documented a CLI release by adding an entry to fern/products/cli-api-reference/cli-changelog/2026-08-24.mdx. Nothing in this repo told it that directory is synced from fern-api/fern by the automated "Update changelogs from fern repo" PRs — the changelog section only named the docs/ and dashboard/ changelog dirs, so hand-writing an entry there was the compliant reading. Same exposure exists for fern/snippets/version-number-*.mdx (hourly update-versions.yml) and fern/translations/ (nightly sync-translations.yml).

The section states the rule both ways — don't write to these paths, and don't delete/reformat what automation put there — since the follow-up failure mode in that PR was destructive rather than additive.
