Summary

  • Add README guidance for instruction file precedence from broadest to most specific
  • Clarify that user instructions apply across projects while project instructions override them for a repository

Addresses #58564.

Note: this repository does not contain the docs/en/memory page referenced by the issue, so this PR adds the same corrected precedence guidance to the public README.

Test plan

  • git diff --check
