This PR enhances the existing
.github/copilot-instructions.mdfile with comprehensive validation and additional practical improvements to better guide GitHub Copilot agents working in this codebase.What was done

Key Improvements Made
Updated Timing Estimates with Measured Values:
go fmtandgo vettiming with precise measurementsAdded Comprehensive End-to-End Validation Sequence:
Enhanced Manual Validation Scenarios:
./build/gpmt completion bash)Expanded Troubleshooting Section:
--verboseflagImproved Feature Documentation:

Every instruction was thoroughly tested through:
The instructions now provide everything a GitHub Copilot agent needs to work effectively in this codebase, with precise commands, timing expectations, comprehensive validation procedures, and practical troubleshooting guidance.
Fixes #10.
