# GitHub Copilot exclusion review

Dated documentation snapshot: 2026-09-21. No GitHub account, repository, policy or API is created or changed by this pack. All code is synthetic.

Use an isolated organisation-approved test repository if you choose to make manual observations. Follow the current GitHub content-exclusion documentation to review the applicable path rule; do not assume these files activate one.

allowed-example.ts refers to the fictional type in restricted-types.ts. The example contains no business logic or secrets and illustrates the indirect-context question. Exclude only the intended fixture through the approved policy interface, then record each mode/location separately in observed-results.csv. Do not infer a result from documented-matrix.csv.
