Add comprehensive GitHub Copilot instructions with validated commands and working tests

[Copilot]

This PR creates comprehensive GitHub Copilot instructions for the FastAPI repository to help developers work effectively with the codebase. The instructions include validated commands, timing expectations, and complete development workflows.

Key Features Added

📋 Comprehensive Copilot Instructions (.github/copilot-instructions.md)

• Always follow instructions first directive at the top
• NEVER CANCEL warnings with specific timeout values for all build commands
• Complete command validation - every command has been tested and timed
• Manual testing scenarios for API validation after changes
• Architecture overview with detailed file structure
• Common issues and solutions based on discovered problems
• Both local and Docker development workflows with exact timings

✅ Working Test Suite

• Added 4 comprehensive tests in app/tests/test_items.py
• Tests cover API functionality: create item, get item, error handling, and API docs
• All tests pass in both local and Docker environments
• Provides examples for future test development

🔧 Critical Bug Fixes

• Import path corrections: Fixed database → core.database imports in routers
• Service model fixes: Corrected field access from {model}_id to id
• Docker build issues: Added DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 requirement to avoid SSL certificate errors
• Alembic configuration: Fixed database URL format in alembic.ini
• Router prefix duplication: Removed duplicate /items prefix causing incorrect routes
• Makefile updates: Updated to use docker compose instead of docker-compose

Validated Commands & Timings

Local Development (Recommended)

• pip3 install -r requirements.txt - 30 seconds
• python3 -m pytest -vvs - <1 second (4 tests pass)
• python3 -m black . - <1 second
• uvicorn main:app --reload - instant startup

Docker Development (Production-like)

• DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 make build - 25 seconds
• DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 make test - 2 seconds
• DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 make lint - <1 second
• DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 make up - starts with auto-reload

API Functionality Validated

The application now has fully working CRUD operations:

# Create an item
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/items/ \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "Test Item", "description": "Testing"}'

# Retrieve an item  
curl http://localhost:8000/items/1

# Access API documentation
curl http://localhost:8000/  # Swagger UI
curl http://localhost:8000/openapi.json  # OpenAPI spec

The instructions provide exhaustive guidance for any developer working on this FastAPI codebase, ensuring they can build, test, and develop effectively from a fresh clone.

Fixes #4.
