Description
Add a policy-bot rule to automatically apply a Copilot-Instructions label to pull requests that modify .github/copilot-instructions.md or any .github/instructions/*.instructions.md file.
Motivation
Changes to Copilot instruction files affect how the Copilot coding agent behaves across the repository. These changes deserve extra visibility during PR review so maintainers can quickly spot and prioritize review of instruction-file changes without having to inspect the diff to notice it.
Proposed change
- Create a Copilot-Instructions label (already added to this repo).
- Add an event-responder rule to
.github/policies/labelManagement.issueOpened.yml that applies the label on PR Opened/Synchronize when changed files match the instruction-file pattern, guarded by a
ot: hasLabel idempotency check.
