Descripción
### Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve
Provide clear documentation about default behavior of Global instruction md files utilization
### Proposed solution
Provide clear documentation about default behavior of Global instruction md files utilization
This will avoid confusion for end users
There is currently some documentation around this (https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/copilot-cli/customize-copilot/add-custom-instructions#agent-instructions) although seems to be slightly unclear/inaccurate in comparison to observed behavior of CLI
example (running on Windows os, WSL Ubuntu):
running `/env`:
however, I only have AGENTS.md in ~/.agents and CLAUDE.md in ~/.claude
_additionally for the above, a nice enhancement with respect to release notes of version 1.0.26 - 2026-04-14 "Avoid sending duplicate custom instruction files (e.g. copilot-instructions.md and CLAUDE.md with identical content) to reduce wasted tokens per turn", it would be nice here on the `/env` to demark as "(duplicate)" label suffix or something equivalent there to alleviate user concerns that these may bloat context/instructions sent and that they are properly being de-duplicated by copilot harness_

Guía de contribución
Línea de trabajo
Comienza comparando la salida observada de /env con la documentación enlazada de instrucciones de agente de GitHub Copilot CLI y determina el comportamiento de descubrimiento predeterminado para los archivos de instrucciones globales. Se considera completado cuando la documentación explica con precisión qué archivos se usan y cómo se gestionan las instrucciones duplicadas, incluido si /env indica deduplicación.
