Frank Möhle 1243c7b1fa Revise *.instructions.md: separate AI-relevant special knowledge from background information for contributors (#354)
Revising AI review instructions:
* Reduce context window use for AI review tools, by avoiding repeating common knowledge and API information that is (usually) part of the AI training datasets any way.
* Introduce a mechanism to maintain both parts in single files, to avoid "silent diversion" over time
* Adding a coderabbit path instruction that ensures cross-checking of both parts whenever a PR modifies instruction files

Objectives:
* Primary Goal: only inject content in AI-visible areas that are WLED-MM–specific or which deviate from general knowledge (the context window "token cost" of true false-positive suppressors is always worth it).
* Soft goal: keep each file's AI-facing section lean enough that the signal-to-noise ratio in the attention layer stays high — around 1,500–2,000 words per file type is a reasonable practical ceiling for current models.
* Aspirational: 500 words per file if achievable without sacrificing review quality.

This is an evolution of #353, based on the discussion in https://github.com/MoonModules/WLED-MM/pull/353#issuecomment-4186989873

path_instructions:
- path: "**/*.{cpp,h,hpp,ino}"
instructions: >
Follow the C++ coding conventions documented in .github/cpp.instructions.md
and the general project guidelines in .github/copilot-instructions.md.
If the code under review directly uses ESP-IDF APIs (e.g. heap_caps_malloc,
I2S, RMT, ADC, GPIO, esp_timer, or any esp_idf_* / soc_* symbols), also
apply the guidelines in .github/esp-idf.instructions.md.
Key rules: 2-space indentation (no tabs), camelCase functions/variables,
PascalCase classes, UPPER_CASE macros. Mark WLED-MM-specific changes with
`// WLEDMM` comments. No C++ exceptions — use return codes and debug macros.
Hot-path optimization guidelines (attributes, uint_fast types, caching,
unsigned range checks) apply from pixel set/get operations downward —
NOT to effect functions in FX.cpp, which have diverse contributor styles.
- path: "wled00/data/**"
instructions: >
Follow the web UI conventions documented in .github/web.instructions.md.
Key rules: indent HTML and JavaScript with tabs, CSS with tabs or spaces.
Files here are built into wled00/html_*.h by tools/cdata.js — never
edit those generated headers directly.
- path: "wled00/html_*.h"
instructions: >
These files are auto-generated from wled00/data/ by tools/cdata.js.
They must never be manually edited or committed. Flag any PR that
includes changes to these files.
- path: "usermods/**"
instructions: >
Usermods are community add-ons following the upstream WLED 0.15.x style.
Each usermod lives in its own directory under usermods/ and is implemented
as a .h file that is pulled in by wled00/usermods_list.cpp (guarded by
#ifdef). Usermods do not use library.json. Follow the same C++ conventions
as the core firmware (.github/cpp.instructions.md).
- path: ".github/workflows/*.{yml,yaml}"
instructions: >
Follow the CI/CD conventions documented in .github/cicd.instructions.md.
Key rules: 2-space indentation, descriptive name: on every workflow/job/step.
Third-party actions must be pinned to a specific version tag — branch pins
such as @main or @master are not allowed. Declare explicit permissions: blocks
scoped to least privilege. Never interpolate github.event.* values directly
into run: steps — pass them through an env: variable to prevent script
injection. Do not use pull_request_target unless fully justified.

This file contains both AI-facing rules and human-only reference sections.
Human-only sections are enclosed in `<!-- HUMAN_ONLY_START -->` /
`<!-- HUMAN_ONLY_END -->` HTML comment markers and should not be used as
actionable review criteria.
When this file is modified in a PR, perform the following alignment check:
1. For each `<!-- HUMAN_ONLY_START --> ... <!-- HUMAN_ONLY_END -->` block,
verify that its examples and guidance are consistent with (and do not
contradict) the AI-facing rules stated in the same file.
2. Flag any HUMAN_ONLY section whose content has drifted from the surrounding
AI-facing rules due to edits introduced in this PR.
3. If new AI-facing rules were added without updating a related HUMAN_ONLY
reference section, note this as a suggestion (not a required fix).
