Adds .github/copilot-instructions.md to give the Copilot coding agent repository-specific context, reducing the need for it to infer conventions from scratch on each task.

What's included

  • Build: How to invoke build.ps1 / build.sh and what flags are available (-SkipTests, -SkipPack, -Configuration)
  • Testing: Per-project dotnet test commands for all three test projects
  • Code conventions: Async naming, logging infrastructure, HTTP access patterns (HttpSource), CancellationToken usage
  • Project structure: Annotated directory tree covering src/, test/, and build/
  • Key APIs: Public surface of CatalogReader and FeedReader
  • CI/CD: Summary of dotnet.yml (build/test on push/PR) and publish.yml (manual NuGet.org publish)
