Research direction

Start by locating how the Eclipse plugin currently handles copilot-instructions.md and trace its path into Copilot Chat. Compare that flow with the AGENTS.md support request; done means AGENTS.md is recognized alongside copilot-instructions.md, with the intended behavior confirmed for Eclipse Copilot Chat.
