docs: rewrite Copilot instructions and align contributor guides with the current layout - #198

Conversation
…the current layout .github/copilot-instructions.md predated the lib/ modularization: it described bin/gtr as a 961-line monolith with a case block at fixed line numbers, an `open` command, cmd_* functions inside bin/gtr, six lib files, and GTR_VERSION on line 8. Rewritten as a condensed guide that matches bin/git-gtr, lib/*.sh, lib/commands/*.sh, the adapter registry, the BATS suite, and the CI gates. The per-pattern instruction files and CONTRIBUTING.md carried the same drift plus one larger error: they told contributors to hand-edit the three completion files, which are generated by scripts/generate-completions.sh and rejected by CI when they differ. - completions.instructions.md: rewritten around the generator; applyTo now covers scripts/generate-completions.sh and the real fish filename - testing.instructions.md: add the BATS/ShellCheck/completions gates, drop "all manual", open -> editor, source nano.sh (cursor.sh does not exist under adapters/editor), add pr/clean/trust smoke lines, GTR_DEBUG - lib.instructions.md: replace a stale core.sh line reference with get_current_branch(), add .gtrconfig and trust gating to the cfg_default precedence, open -> editor - sh.instructions.md: set -e lives in bin/git-gtr, add GTR_DEBUG, note gh/glab as optional deps - editor/ai.instructions.md, CONTRIBUTING.md: regenerate completions instead of editing three files; name the _help_* functions - CHANGELOG: record under Unreleased

CONTRIBUTING.md's two adapter "Also update" entries now list the docs/configuration.md editor list and AI tool table, matching the editor/ai instruction files. Also correct those files and the Copilot guide to say "list" for editors, since docs/configuration.md presents editors as a bullet list and only AI tools as a table.
The review of #197 established that run_hooks_in does not handle postCd. This PR added the same incorrect claim: run_hooks evaluates each hook in a subshell and serves postRemove, run_hooks_in adds a cd for postCreate and preRemove, and postCd goes through run_hooks_export or the eval loop inside the init-generated shell functions.

The review read "its callers wrap it in one" as contradicting the purpose of run_hooks_export. Both call sites do use a subshell, as lib/hooks.sh itself instructs, so the wording now names them and says what the subshell is for: the exports reach the editor or AI tool started in the same block without leaking into the main script.
Checked every added assertion against the code at 57ff3be: - GTR_DEBUG does not report file:line:function. bin/git-gtr installs an ERR trap but sets `set -e` without `set -E`, so the trap is not inherited by functions and never fires for failures inside cmd_* handlers. Verified with a minimal repro (silent under `set -e`, fires under `set -eE`) and against the real binary. Stated in three files; all now describe the limitation and point to `bash -x`. - postCd hooks reach the AI tool only. Both run_hooks_export call sites are AI paths; _auto_launch_editor, _open_editor and cmd_editor run no hooks. - `git gtr completion zsh` does not print the generated file. Only the bash and fish branches cat it; zsh emits a zstyle + fpath + compinit snippet. - `version` has no cmd_version; main() answers it inline. Also widen sh.instructions.md's applyTo to cover bin/git-gtr and bin/gtr, which it describes but did not match, and correct the `cd` dispatch wording.

Picks up the set -eE fix from #199. The Copilot guide, shell conventions and testing matrix now describe GTR_DEBUG as working, including inside the subshell cmd_run uses, rather than documenting it as inert. The changelog also distinguishes the two postCd dispatch paths instead of attributing them to the AI path alone.

Summary
Docs-only follow-up to #197.
.github/copilot-instructions.mdhad not been touched since before thelib/modularization (#119) and described a repository that no longer exists. While fixing it, the six.github/instructions/*.instructions.mdfiles andCONTRIBUTING.mdturned out to share one larger error: they tell contributors to hand-edit the three completion files, which are generated.Copilot instructions (rewritten)
The old file described
bin/gtras a 961-line monolith with acaseblock at lines 36-77, anopencommand,cmd_*functions defined insidebin/gtr, sixlib/*.shfiles, andGTR_VERSIONon line 8. The new file is a condensed guide (83 lines) matching the current tree:bin/git-gtrentry point, tenlib/*.shmodules plus 18lib/commands/*.sh, the adapter registry model with three file overrides,editorinstead ofopen,pr/trust/cdhandling, the--porcelaincontract, sparse inheritance, the three CI gates,GTR_DEBUG, and the release flow.
