Add comprehensive .github/copilot-instructions.md with validated build commands and timing
This PR adds a comprehensive .github/copilot-instructions.md file that provides GitHub Copilot coding agents with detailed instructions for working effectively in the pytorch/test-infra repository.
What's Included
The instructions cover all major components of the repository with validated commands and measured timing:
TorchCI Web Application (Next.js)
- Complete setup workflow:
yarn install --frozen-lockfile(82s) →yarn build(107s) →yarn test(10s) - Development server:
yarn devstarts in 1.4 seconds - All build commands tested and timing measured
Terraform AWS GitHub Runner Infrastructure
- Lambda build workflow:
yarn install(24s) →yarn commit-check(60s) - Individual commands for testing, linting, and building
- TypeScript compilation with ncc bundling
Python Tools and Utilities
- Setup procedures for various Python components in
/toolsand/aws/lambda - pytest testing workflows where applicable
- Dependency installation procedures
Repository-wide Linting
- Complete lintrunner setup:
pip3 install lintrunner==0.12.5 boto3-stubs==1.34.51→lintrunner init - Multi-language linting with 15+ specialized linters
- Known issues and workarounds for network-restricted environments
Key Features
- All commands validated: Every command in the instructions has been tested to ensure it works
- Measured timing with appropriate timeouts: Build times measured and documented with "NEVER CANCEL" warnings
- Network limitation handling: Documents expected failures (pip timeouts, S3 download issues) in restricted environments
- Complete validation scenarios: Step-by-step workflows for testing changes across all components
- Imperative tone: Clear "do this" instructions as requested in the issue
Example Usage
After making changes to TorchCI:
cd torchci
yarn install --frozen-lockfile # 82s - NEVER CANCEL
yarn lint && yarn tsc && yarn build && yarn test
yarn dev # Verify application starts correctly
The instructions ensure developers can quickly bootstrap the repository and validate their changes using reliable, pre-tested commands.
Fixes #7028.

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:

- 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)
