This PR implements the GitHub Copilot setup workflow as specified in the requirements to enable automated environment preparation when Copilot agents work on this repository.

Changes Made

New Workflow File

  • .github/workflows/copilot-setup-steps.yml: Implements the complete Copilot setup workflow with:
    • Required job name: copilot-setup-steps (mandatory for Copilot recognition)
    • Automated triggers: Runs on workflow_dispatch, push, and pull_request events for the workflow file
    • Environment setup: Ubuntu runner with Node.js 20 and npm caching
    • Dependency installation: Executes npm ci to prepare the project dependencies
    • Minimal permissions: Only contents: read for security

Key Features

The workflow enables both automatic execution when the workflow file is modified and manual testing through the GitHub Actions tab, providing flexibility for validation and debugging.

The setup follows GitHub's best practices with:

  • Latest stable action versions (actions/checkout@v5, actions/setup-node@v4)
  • Efficient npm caching to reduce installation time
  • Comprehensive inline documentation explaining each configuration choice

Benefits

  • Copilot Integration: Ensures Copilot agents have a properly configured environment with all dependencies
  • Developer Experience: Allows manual workflow testing through GitHub's Actions interface
  • Automated Validation: Triggers automatically when the setup configuration changes
  • Security: Uses minimal required permissions following the principle of least privilege

This implementation matches the exact specifications provided and enables seamless Copilot operation on the repository.

Fixes #35
