Summary

Adds .github/copilot-instructions.md to provide repository context to GitHub Copilot coding agents. The file documents:

  • Tech stack: C#, .NET 10.0, ASP.NET Core 8.0/9.0/10.0, xUnit, MSBuild with Arcade SDK
  • Build/test: Platform-specific commands (./build.sh, .\Build.cmd, etc.)
  • C# conventions: Explicit types (no var), block-scoped namespaces, required license headers, expression-bodied member rules from .editorconfig
  • Repository structure: Key directories and their purposes
  • Common patterns: Options pattern, IEgressProvider extensions, collection rule implementations
  • Security: MSRC reporting process, API key authentication requirements

This enables Copilot to generate code that aligns with repository standards without additional prompting.
