docs(agents): bring AGENTS.md roster current with CLAUDE.md (#7)

AGENTS.md was materially stale. Add the missing roles so the public
roster matches the actual harness:
- Leadership section: Product Manager + Account Lead (relocated from Delivery)
- Technical Council: add Apple Platform Engineer and LLM Engineer
- Hardware Council: add all 9 roles (was absent entirely)
- Refresh the governance matrix to lead with the PM

Membership now matches CLAUDE.md (25 standing roles across Leadership +
four councils). Details sourced from each role's persona file.
