Configure Copilot instructions for repository

[Copilot]

Adds GitHub Copilot instructions to guide AI agents working on Kindfluence's unique architecture and ethical framework.

Changes

• Created .github/copilot-instructions.md with:
  • 7-subsystem architecture overview (Core, Mapping, Constellation, Influence, Forecasting, Ownership, Eldership)
  • Five Gates ethical framework: Relational Accountability, Regenerative Impact, Ethical Grounding, Practical Stewardship, Reflective Continuity
  • Key patterns: Zero data loss principle, KindEarth adaptations (MetricField → AttentionField)
  • Python conventions: PEP 8, type hints required, Google-style docstrings
  • Testing standards: pytest, 232 tests across 8 modules
  • Self-dismantling considerations: forbidden actions, messaging gradient stages, community ownership protocols

Why This Matters

Kindfluence is a self-dismantling social influence engine with unconventional design goals (making itself obsolete, transferring power to communities). Standard AI coding practices don't capture the ethical constraints and architectural philosophy needed to contribute meaningfully.

The instructions encode domain-specific knowledge like:

• Never discard signals (zero data loss)
• Design for community maintainability, not organizational convenience
• Prioritize KinshipScore over vanity metrics
• All features must pass through Five Gates validation

This ensures contributors understand the project's mission: "We win when we disappear."

Warning

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:

• gh.io
  • Triggering command: /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/ghcca-node/node/bin/node /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/ghcca-node/node/bin/node --enable-source-maps /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/copilot-developer-action-main/dist/index.js (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• 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)
