Pull request overview
Warning
Copilot couldn't run its full agentic review because it didn't start before the timeout. Make sure your repository has a runner available, or add a copilot-code-review.yml file specifying one with the runs-on attribute. See the docs for more details.
Adds a baseline Copilot PR-review instruction document focused on ensuring user-facing changes are documented in release notes.
Changes:
- Introduces
.github/copilot-instructions.mdwith guidance to identify user-facing changes. - Adds a checklist to require
RELEASE_NOTES.mdentries for user-visible changes and avoid requesting notes for internal-only changes.
💡 Add a code-review agent skill or configure MCP servers for context-aware, tailored reviews. Learn more in the docs.

This file is for basic instructions for Copilot to use when doing PR reviews. My general idea is for very basic things we continually check for each PR. This only has checking for adding user-facing changes to the release notes. If you have suggestions I can add them in now but we can build up this file as we think of them.
