Issue for this PR

Closes #33908

Type of change

  • Bug fix
  • New feature
  • Refactor / code improvement
  • Documentation

What does this PR do?

Rephrase the Precedence section of the rules docs to make it explicit that:

  • All three layers (local, global, Claude Code) are loaded and concatenated in order
  • "First wins" only applies within each layer (AGENTS.md beats CLAUDE.md)

Previously the wording sounded like only one file was selected overall.

How did you verify your code works?

Documentation only change — reviewed the rendered markdown locally.
