Pull Request Overview

This PR transforms the repository's "MotherSpace" automation system from a noisy, loop-prone GitHub Actions workflow into a quiet, idempotent system that integrates with the actual Copilot Spaces UI. The main purpose is to provide real Copilot Spaces integration while implementing robust safety features and deduplication to prevent issue spam and workflow loops.

Key changes include:

• Real Copilot Spaces documentation - Added comprehensive setup guide for creating actual Copilot Spaces that appear in the UI
• Workflow safety features - Implemented concurrency controls, actor guards, and fingerprint-based deduplication to prevent bot loops and duplicate issues
• Single tracking issue pattern - Replaced multi-issue creation with create-or-update pattern using stable fingerprinting

This GitHub issue describes a pull request (PR) that significantly improves the "MotherSpace" automation system by transitioning it from a noisy, loop-prone GitHub Actions workflow to an efficient, idempotent system that integrates seamlessly with the Copilot Spaces user interface (UI). Key changes include adding real Copilot Spaces documentation and setup guides, implementing robust safety measures such as concurrency controls, actor guards, and fingerprint-based deduplication to prevent workflow loops and duplicate issues, and establishing a single tracking issue pattern using a create-or-update approach with stable fingerprinting. The PR also updates tests, scripts, and workflows to validate and support the new functionality, ensuring a safer and more streamlined automation process. Copilot reviewed all nine affected files and made three comments, including a suggestion to update type annotations for better compatibility.
