feat(scanner): discover GitHub Copilot instruction Markdown files - #3
Merged

Conversation
Recognize copilot-instructions.md and *.instructions.md (case-insensitive) and classify them as prompt resources through the existing frontmatter, heading, description, stable-ID, and corpus pipeline. Ordinary Markdown like README.md stays out of the catalog. The fallback-name regex also strips the .instructions suffix so names stay clean. Fixes mockingbird777#2

What
Recognizes the GitHub Copilot instruction conventions as prompt resources:
copilot-instructions.md(exact, case-insensitive — tested withCOPILOT-INSTRUCTIONS.MD)*.instructions.md(suffix, case-insensitive)Both flow through the existing frontmatter/heading/description/stable-ID/corpus pipeline unchanged — the diff is one extra branch in
markdownKindplusinstructionsin the fallback-name suffix strip (sosecurity.instructions.mdnames assecurity, matching how.prompt.mdbehaves). No remote lookup, no new dependency.Ordinary Markdown (
README.md,notes.md) stays out of the catalog, and.github/was already walked (only.git/node_modules/dist/coverage/.task2toolare ignored).Tests
New scanner test covering nested
.github/copilot-instructions.md,.github/instructions/security.instructions.md(frontmatter name/tags respected,prompt:ID), the uppercase form, README/notes exclusion, and deterministic ordering across two scans.npm test: 27/29 — the two failures (symbolic links,npm-style binary symlink) are pre-existing on my Windows machine (symlink creation needs elevation) and fail identically on a clean checkout.README discovery table updated.
