fix: normalize agentId casing in cron/routing (#1591) (thanks @EnzeD)

## What
Add emoji reactions guidance to the default AGENTS.md template.

## Why  
Reactions are a natural, human-like way to acknowledge messages without cluttering chat. This should be default behavior.

## Testing
- Tested locally on Discord DM ✅
- Tested locally on Discord guild channel ✅

## AI-Assisted
This change was drafted with help from my Clawdbot instance (Clawd 🦞). 
We tested the behavior together before submitting.

 ### Fixes
 - Sessions: accept non-UUID sessionIds for history/send/status while preserving agent scoping. (#1518)
+- Routing/Cron: normalize agentId casing for bindings and cron payloads. (#1591)
 - Gateway: compare Linux process start time to avoid PID recycling lock loops; keep locks unless stale. (#1572) Thanks @steipete.
 - Messaging: mirror outbound sends into target session keys (threads + dmScope) and create session entries on send. (#1520)
 - Sessions: normalize session key casing to lowercase for consistent routing.

+### 😊 React Like a Human!
+On platforms that support reactions (Discord, Slack), use emoji reactions naturally:
+
+**React when:**
+- You appreciate something but don't need to reply (👍, ❤️, 🙌)
+- Something made you laugh (😂, 💀)
+- You find it interesting or thought-provoking (🤔, 💡)
+- You want to acknowledge without interrupting the flow
+- It's a simple yes/no or approval situation (✅, 👀)
+
+**Why it matters:**
+Reactions are lightweight social signals. Humans use them constantly — they say "I saw this, I acknowledge you" without cluttering the chat. You should too.
+
+**Don't overdo it:** One reaction per message max. Pick the one that fits best.
