Description
### Feature summary
Use the `.github` (and private) folders for projects as well
### What problem are you trying to solve?
The session does not take the `.github` or `github-private` folders into account when creating a worktree of a mutli repo project. I created a helpful canvas in a session which I can find in the `.github` repo, yet when I create a new session I cannot use the canvas.
### Proposed solution
Also use the `.github` or `github-private` folders in the worktree.
### Workflow impact
Especially used for multi-repo projects, misses config and functionality right now, including org level Copilot instructions.
### Installation context
_No response_
### Additional context
Local folder setup:
Copilot App:

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing how a multi-repository session creates its worktree and selects repository folders; check how .github and github-private are handled. Done means those folders are included in the worktree so canvases, configuration, and organization-level Copilot instructions are available in a new session.
