What changed in this PR
Adds a “Security & Quality Conventions” section to the repository’s Copilot instructions, capturing recurring secure/maintainable implementation patterns used across the Cacti plugin ecosystem.
Changes:
- Documented security conventions (no hardcoded third-party hosts, prepared statements, hardened
unserialize(), safer request escaping). - Documented consistency conventions (i18n text domain usage, idempotent plugin DB table helpers, standard PHPDoc block structure).
