Pull request overview
Updates the repository’s GitHub Copilot contribution guidelines to prevent introducing new public APIs that use C# init accessors, addressing the enforcement need described in issue #7285 without adding a dedicated analyzer project.
Changes:
- Add a new “Public API guidelines” section disallowing
initaccessors in new public APIs (with a stated exception for existing Microsoft.Testing.Platform APIs).
