Pull request overview
Expands .github/copilot-instructions.md into a repo-specific playbook for AI agents/contributors, covering extension architecture, build/lint/test workflow, key conventions, and the even/odd versioning + release process used by vscode-powershell.
Changes:
- Add an overview of the extension’s LSP client role and the high-level activation/session architecture.
- Document the local dev workflow (install/compile/lint/format/test) and key TypeScript/logging/settings conventions.
- Add detailed versioning rules and release steps, including cross-repo (PSES) coordination notes.
Sorry, something went wrong.
