[Copilot]

Summary

Adds .github/copilot-instructions.md to provide GitHub Copilot with repository-specific context following best practices from https://gh.io/copilot-coding-agent-tips.

Contents:

• Project overview: InvokeAI's role as AI image generation platform with key tech stack (Python 3.11-3.12, FastAPI, React/TypeScript, PyTorch, Stable Diffusion)
• Repository structure: Directory layout and module responsibilities
• Development setup: Prerequisites, installation commands for backend (uv) and frontend (pnpm), common dev commands
• Code conventions:
  • Python: Ruff linting/formatting (replaces black/flake8/isort), mypy strict typing, absolute imports only
  • TypeScript: ESLint, Prettier, functional components, Redux Toolkit
• Architecture: Invocation system (DAG-based nodes), services pattern, Redux state management
• Testing: pytest (backend with fast/slow markers), Vitest (frontend, colocated)
• Common tasks: Adding invocations/services, updating OpenAPI types, frontend development workflows
• Build commands, contributing guidelines, platform support notes

All information cross-referenced against existing docs (docs/contributing/), configuration files (pyproject.toml, package.json, .nvmrc), and Makefile.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• gh.io
  • Triggering command: /usr/bin/curl curl -s REDACTED (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
