Docs: update AGENTS, CONTRIBUTING, and the templates - #372

CONTRIBUTING.md now points to the template comments for the database case. Two rules from the removed paragraph were missing there: a database image's own HEALTHCHECK comes first, and a service that depends on the database waits with condition: service_healthy.
The documented validation command fails on the template, because SERVICE and IMAGE_URL are empty there. AGENTS.md and CONTRIBUTING.md now give the command with dummy values, as CI uses.
CONTRIBUTING.md asks for an explicit image tag, but the example in the template had none and misspelled the image name.
…version number The rules apply to new stacks and to the parts of an existing stack that a change touches, so existing stacks that differ are not violations to fix at once. The lint instructions read the rumdl version from linting.yml and offer the release binary next to uvx, so a version bump needs no doc edit.
git diff --check origin/main compares with the wrong branch in a fork. A tracked file inside a data folder needs its own exception in .gitignore, because the folder rules ignore it.
