Configures repository-specific instructions for GitHub Copilot coding agents per best practices.

Changes

  • Added .github/copilot-instructions.md with:
    • Tech stack overview (Rust/sqlx backend, React/TypeScript/MobX frontend)
    • Build workflow emphasizing critical ./update-schemas.sh requirement for sqlx compile-time verification
    • Project layout mapping source directories to architectural components
    • Common pitfalls: multi-database SQLite setup, platform-specific dependencies, build order requirements
    • Validation checklist for frontend (yarn lint) and backend (cargo fmt/clippy)

Reduces agent exploration overhead by providing upfront context about the non-standard sqlx workflow and multi-database architecture.

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

  • gh.io
    • Triggering command: /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/ghcca-node/node/bin/node /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/ghcca-node/node/bin/node --enable-source-maps /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/copilot-developer-action-main/dist/index.js (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:
