Configures GitHub Copilot Coding Agent instructions per best practices to improve autonomous code generation quality.

Changes

Added .github/copilot-instructions.md (226 lines) documenting:

  • Project context: Docker-based Windows virtualization via QEMU/KVM, supports Windows 2000-11 and Server editions
  • Tech stack: Bash scripts (4600+ lines), Docker multi-stage builds, XML unattended configs
  • Coding standards:
    • Shell: set -Eeuo pipefail, ShellCheck with 8 exclusions (SC1091, SC2001, SC2002, SC2034, SC2064, SC2153, SC2317, SC2028)
    • Docker: hadolint compliance, ignoring DL3006/DL3008
    • Config: XML/YAML validation in CI
  • Build process: ShellCheck, hadolint, XML validation commands matching CI workflows
  • Domain knowledge: Windows version mapping (define.sh), automatic installation flow, environment variables, QEMU/virtualization concepts
  • Critical constraints: Stability over 200+ Windows version/edition combinations, minimal changes to interdependent scripts

Enables agent to understand specialized virtualization domain, shell script interdependencies, and stability requirements when making changes.
