Add comprehensive GitHub Copilot instructions and fix malformed package.json

[Copilot]

This PR creates comprehensive GitHub Copilot coding agent instructions for the Vidsrc Scraper repository and fixes a critical issue preventing dependency installation.

Key Changes

Fixed Critical Setup Issue

The package.json file contained literal \n characters instead of actual newlines, causing npm install to fail with a JSON parse error:

npm error JSON.parse Expected property name or '}' in JSON at position 1

Created Comprehensive Copilot Instructions

Added .github/copilot-instructions.md with exhaustively validated instructions covering:

• Setup Process: Exact commands for Node.js v20.19.4 and dependency installation (~1 second)
• Current Repository State: Documents missing providers/vidsrc.js module that prevents application execution
• Error Documentation: Precise error messages and expected failures with troubleshooting steps
• Development Workflow: Step-by-step guidance for implementing missing components
• Validation Scenarios: Manual testing procedures since no automated test suite exists

Repository Improvements

• Added .gitignore to exclude node_modules, build artifacts, and temporary files
• All documented commands were executed and validated before inclusion
• Timing estimates include appropriate "NEVER CANCEL" warnings with buffer timeouts

Validation Process

Every instruction was thoroughly tested:

• ✅ npm install completes successfully in ~1 second
• ✅ Application fails with documented ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND error
• ✅ Mock provider implementation validates the development workflow
• ✅ Node.js and npm versions confirmed (v20.19.4 / v10.8.2)

Current Repository Status

The application is incomplete but the instructions provide a clear path forward:

• Missing providers/vidsrc.js prevents execution (documented with exact error)
• No test suite, linting, or build processes exist
• Designed for Vercel deployment but missing api/ directory structure

The instructions ensure any developer can quickly understand the repository state and begin productive work with accurate expectations.

Fixes #2.
