Copilot seems very reluctant to read our instructions file, and loves running dotnet test on the specific project that it made/modified tests in. A lot of the cohosting tests are shared between VS and VS Code, so will happily run on the Linux images that Copilot uses, but because the physical files are in the VS project, every time Copilot tries to run them, it can't because thats a .NET Framework project.
Eventually when we clean up the LSP and legacy editors we can move things around and stop using shared files, but until then having the files physically in the VS Code project, and shared across to VS, rather than the opposite, should hopefully mean Copilot falls into the pit of success a little more easily.
