Reverted in commit fcf79f6. The file was accidentally modified when investigating workload requirements and has been restored to its original state.

Pull request overview
Adds a new .github/copilot-instructions.md document intended to guide coding agents through the LiveCharts2 repo structure, build/test workflows, and common troubleshooting, including notes about branch differences.
Changes:
- Introduces a comprehensive Copilot instructions document covering repo layout, build commands, testing, CI, and troubleshooting.
- Adds several “obsolete” notices (notably about the
build/folder and related files/scripts).
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

| **Note**: The `build/build-windows.ps1` script is obsolete and will be removed soon. |

This note says build/build-windows.ps1 is obsolete, but it is currently invoked by .github/workflows/compile-all-views.yml (step "Compile Debug"). Marking it obsolete is misleading unless the workflow is updated to use an alternative.
| **Note**: The `build/build-windows.ps1` script is obsolete and will be removed soon. | |
| **Note**: The `build/build-windows.ps1` script is a legacy helper still used by some CI workflows; for local builds, prefer the `dotnet build` commands and solution files shown above, and the script will be removed once those workflows are updated. |
| **Note**: The `build/UITestsLinks.Build.props` file is obsolete and will be removed soon. | ||

build/UITestsLinks.Build.props is referenced here, but there is no such file under build/ in this repository. Please remove or correct this reference (and avoid calling it obsolete if it doesn't exist).
| **Note**: The `build/UITestsLinks.Build.props` file is obsolete and will be removed soon. |

build/RenderSettings.Build.props is not obsolete in the current repo state: it is included as a solution item (LiveCharts.slnx) and imported by projects such as src/skiasharp/LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharp/LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.csproj and samples/UnoPlatformSample/...csproj. Please remove the obsolescence note or update it to reflect the actual deprecation plan.
| **Note**: The `build/RenderSettings.Build.props` file is obsolete and will be removed soon. | |
| **Note**: The `build/RenderSettings.Build.props` file currently defines the default values for these properties and is imported by multiple projects (including SkiaSharp and Uno samples). Update that file or override the properties in your project to change rendering behavior. |

This example uses net10.0-windows..., but there are no net10.0* target frameworks in the current repository. Consider changing this to an actually used TFM (e.g., net8.0-windows...) or clarifying that the net10.0 example applies only to a different branch/state.

PR metadata discrepancy: the PR title/description mention restoring an accidentally-emptied SkiaSharp .csproj, but this PR only adds/updates .github/copilot-instructions.md. Please align the PR title/description with the actual change (or include the missing .csproj fix).

The note that the build/ folder is obsolete is inaccurate in the current repo state: the CI workflow compile-all-views.yml runs ./build/build-windows.ps1, and build/RenderSettings.Build.props is imported by projects (e.g., src/skiasharp/LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharp/LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.csproj). Please either remove this note or qualify it to specify exactly which artifacts are deprecated and after what replacements are in place.

The WPF project file name is LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.WPF.csproj (uppercase WPF). Using ...SkiaSharpView.Wpf.csproj will fail on case-sensitive filesystems. Please update the command to match the actual filename.

Same issue as above: the actual WPF project filename is LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.WPF.csproj (not ...Wpf.csproj). On case-sensitive filesystems this command will fail.
Fixed the SkiaSharp .csproj file that was accidentally left empty in the previous commit. The file has now been properly restored to its original state from before commit d831784.
