Add comprehensive GitHub Copilot instructions with emphasis on unit testing over full application runs

[Copilot]

This PR adds a comprehensive .github/copilot-instructions.md file that provides detailed development instructions for GitHub Copilot coding agents working with the xiaomai-bot repository.

Key Features

Validated Command Workflows: All commands have been tested in the actual environment with measured timing:

• uv sync: 25-30 seconds (initial), 2-5 seconds (subsequent)
• uv run pytest tests/ -v: 2-3 seconds (30 tests)
• uv run ruff check .: <1 second
• pre-commit run --all-files: 5-10 seconds after setup
• Docker builds: 5-15 minutes (network dependent)

Critical Safety Features:

• Explicit "NEVER CANCEL" warnings for long-running operations
• Timeout recommendations with 50% buffers
• Expected failure scenarios documented
• Manual validation requirements for changes

Complete Development Workflow:

• Dependency installation and management with uv
• Code quality enforcement with Ruff and pre-commit hooks
• Test execution and validation procedures
• Configuration setup (both manual and environment variable approaches)
• Docker deployment instructions
• Project structure navigation guide

Clear Testing Guidelines (Updated based on feedback):

• ⚠️ Most development tasks do NOT require running the full application
• Prefer unit tests for plugin functionality testing: uv run pytest tests/test_plugin_name.py -v
• Only run full application for:
  • New plugin development requiring framework integration testing
  • Core framework changes needing end-to-end validation
  • Testing full bot behavior with external dependencies
• Prioritize uv run pytest over uv run main.py for validation

Imperative Instructions: Written in firm directive tone as requested:

• "Run this command", "Do not do this", "Always validate"
• Prioritizes known working validation steps
• Fallback guidance only when instructions are incomplete

Validation Process

Every command and workflow was manually tested to ensure:

• ✅ Commands execute successfully in fresh environment
• ✅ Timing measurements are accurate with appropriate buffers
• ✅ Expected failures are properly documented
• ✅ Manual validation scenarios are complete
• ✅ External dependency requirements are clearly stated
• ✅ Testing workflow emphasizes unit tests over full application runs

The instructions enable any GitHub Copilot agent to immediately begin productive development work without trial-and-error command discovery, while following best practices for testing and validation.

Fixes #180.

一般来说agent都没有必要使用uv run main.py来运行整个框架，除非涉及到新插件开发 或者框架基础功能调整，如果要测试插件功能，尽量使用单元测试的方式

Updated the instructions to clarify when agents should run the full application. Added clear guidance that most development tasks don't require uv run main.py and should prefer unit tests instead. The full application should only be run for plugin development or framework changes. Commit: 4adf40c
