Commit 726e66e added automatic regeneration of generated bindings when the Python bindings generator is modified. This commit documents that behavior for developers. Updates to AGENTS.md explain that: - Generated bindings automatically regenerate when generator files are edited; no manual deletion or regeneration is needed - When adding or removing generator files, developers must update OMPI_BINDINGS_GENERATOR in Makefile.ompi-rules and EXTRA_DIST in ompi/mpi/Makefile.am to maintain proper dependency tracking - Makefile.ompi-rules is a special include file requiring only "make", not full autogen.pl + ./configure Updates to docs/developers/building-open-mpi.rst add a new "Working on the Bindings Generator" subsection with similar guidance, including an important admonition block highlighting the requirement to update both Makefile.ompi-rules and EXTRA_DIST when modifying the generator's file structure. Signed-off-by: Howard Pritchard <howardp@lanl.gov> (cherry picked from commit 2f533af)
