docs: encourage AI coding agent use in development workflow (#16)

Added prominent documentation encouraging the use of AI coding agents
as valued development tools throughout the project.

Changes:
- Added "AI-Assisted Development" section to README with guidelines
  for AI-assisted contributions including review requirements,
  quality standards, optional transparency tagging, and security
  considerations
- Updated CONTRIBUTING.md with concise reference to AI guidelines
  and key contributor responsibilities
- Enhanced AICodingAgent.md header to explicitly communicate the
  project's positive stance on AI agent usage

This addresses issue #9 by clearly communicating that AI coding
agents are welcome and valued tools for problem-solving, code
generation, review, and learning, while maintaining accountability
for code quality and security.

+## AI-Assisted Development
+
+This project explicitly encourages and welcomes the use of AI coding agents as part of the development workflow. AI tools are valuable for:
+
+- Code generation and refactoring
+- Writing tests and documentation
+- Code review and quality improvement
+- Problem-solving and debugging
+- Learning and exploring the codebase
+
+**Guidelines for AI-Assisted Contributions:**
+
+1. **Review and Verify**: All AI-generated code must be thoroughly reviewed, tested, and understood before submission
+2. **Quality Standards**: AI-assisted code must meet the same quality standards as manually written code (see [AICodingAgent.md](AICodingAgent.md))
+3. **Transparency**: Contributors may optionally indicate AI assistance in commit messages or PR descriptions using tags like `[AI-assisted]` for transparency
+4. **Responsibility**: Contributors remain fully responsible for all submitted code, regardless of how it was generated
+5. **Security**: Extra attention should be paid to security implications of AI-generated code
+
+For detailed guidelines on using AI coding agents with this project, see [AICodingAgent.md](AICodingAgent.md).
