Subject: [PATCH] Remove noisy "Loaded agent instructions file" log from all
 adapters
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Loading an instructions file is normal, expected behavior — not worth
logging to stdout/stderr on every run. Warning logs for failed reads
are preserved.
