Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.70, an AGENTS.MD file, and memory instructions. No source file, test, or reproduction command is named, so first trace how the CLI discovers and applies these instructions. Done means the instructions are respected or the user receives a clear explanation when they are not.
