In agent mode in VSC copilot was always trying to run dotnet commands with global dotnet, not the one from the repo:

The command could not be loaded, possibly because:
  * You intended to execute a .NET application:
      The application 'test' does not exist.
  * You intended to execute a .NET SDK command:
      A compatible .NET SDK was not found.

Requested SDK version: 10.0.100-preview.7.25322.101
global.json file: C:\Users\Desktop\aspnetcore-fork4\global.json

Installed SDKs:
9.0.300 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
9.0.302 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]

Install the [10.0.100-preview.7.25322.101] .NET SDK or update [C:\Users\Desktop\aspnetcore-fork4\global.json] to match an installed SDK.

After updating the instruction it does not happen anymore.

Pull Request Overview

This PR updates the Copilot instructions to ensure that dotnet commands use the repository-specific .NET SDK version instead of the global installation. The change addresses issues where Copilot agent was attempting to run dotnet commands with an incompatible global .NET SDK when the repository requires a specific preview version.

  • Adds instructions for activating the local .NET environment before running dotnet commands
  • Provides platform-specific activation script commands for Windows and Linux/Mac
  • Ensures compatibility with the repository's global.json SDK requirements
