This pull request introduces several documentation improvements and adds
comprehensive Copilot and agent instruction files to the al-folio
repository. The most significant changes are the addition of
repository-wide and path-specific Copilot instructions, updates to agent
documentation to reference these instructions, and improvements to the
documentation structure and clarity regarding file purposes and
workflows.
**Copilot and Agent Instruction Enhancements:**
- Added a new `.github/copilot-instructions.md` file providing detailed,
repository-wide setup, build, CI/CD, troubleshooting, and file format
guidance for Copilot coding agents.
- Introduced `.github/instructions/bibtex-bibliography.instructions.md`
with specific instructions for editing and validating BibTeX files,
including custom keywords, formatting rules, and integration with
Jekyll-Scholar.
- Updated agent documentation files (`customize.agent.md`,
`docs.agent.md`) to reference the new Copilot instruction files and
explain their purpose and usage for both repository-wide and
path-specific scenarios.

**Documentation Structure and Clarity Improvements:**
- Clarified and reorganized the documentation file list in agent files,
removing references to deprecated or merged files (e.g.,
`MAINTENANCE.md`, `ACCESSIBILITY.md`) and updating descriptions to
reflect current usage.

- Enhanced documentation on the purpose and application of each
documentation file, and added detailed explanations of Copilot
instruction files and their role in project development.
**Workflow and Validation Updates:**
- Updated references and descriptions for GitHub Actions workflows in
agent documentation to include the Copilot environment setup and clarify
pre-commit and CI/CD requirements.

- Corrected references for accessibility guidance, now directing users
to `TROUBLESHOOTING.md` instead of the removed `ACCESSIBILITY.md`.
These changes collectively improve the onboarding experience for both
human contributors and AI agents, ensuring consistent adherence to
project conventions and reducing errors.

Fixes#2787 as an alternative to #2969. It was getting too cumbersome to
have 2 different data sources for CV and also a lot of different layout
files, so I decided to unify them all.
Main changes:
- synchronized the information inside RenderCV (`_data/cv.yml`) and
JSONResume (`assets/json/resume.json`)
- unified layout files for CV information
- added the option to set the "data source" in the CV page

### Description
This PR adds a Google Calendar integration feature as described in issue
#872. Users can embed their own calendar using an iframe configured via
`_config.yml`, and the calendar is toggleable through a responsive
button. This component is styled to visually blend into the theme and
supports responsive display across desktop and mobile.
### Changes
- Added `calendar.liquid` in `_includes`
- Modified `about.md` to include the toggleable calendar block
- Introduced `calendar` config section in `_config.yml`
- Appended calendar-related styles in `_sass/_base.scss`
### Configuration
To enable this feature, add the following to `_config.yml`:
```yaml
calendar:
enabled: true
calendar_id: your_calendar_id@group.calendar.google.com
timezone: UTC
style: "border:0; width:100%; height:600px;"

Implements the course schedule feature requested in issue
#[2258](https://github.com/alshedivat/al-folio/issues/2258).
This PR adds a new course schedule feature to the al-folio theme,
allowing academics to easily create and display structured course
information.
**Changes:**
- Added a `courses` collection to organize and display academic courses
- Created course layout and display templates with responsive design
- Implemented organization by year and term with automatic sorting
- Added support for weekly schedule with topics and course materials
- Simplified documentation with a README for course creation
This feature makes it easier for academics to showcase their teaching
materials with a consistent, organized display of course schedules,
helping users create professional teaching pages without custom
implementation.

### Overview
This PR fixes an issue where unnecessary horizontal lines were displayed
when there were no tags or categories present. The tag and category
container is now conditionally rendered, ensuring it only appears when
there are tags or categories to display.
no tags meaning, in _config.yml
```
display_tags: []
display_categories: []
```
### Before and After
The difference is illustrated in the images below:
- **First Image (Fixed)**: Shows the correct behavior with no extra
lines when tags or categories are absent.
- **Second Image (Current)**: Demonstrates the issue with unwanted
horizontal lines appearing when no tags or categories are present.


### Impact
This change improves the visual consistency and cleanliness of the theme
by preventing unnecessary elements from being rendered, particularly in
cases where there are no tags or categories defined.
Inverted order of title and {% if site.data.repositories.github_users
%}, so that if there is no github_users, the "GitHub users" title does
not appear.
In #2523, I did a copy&paste error with
07d6e619cc
I used the global `search_enabled` config key instead of the correct
`bib_search` key.
This PR fixed it.
This PR adds a simple filter/search functionality to the bibliography.
It can be used in two ways:
1. Simply enter a search term in the input box.
2. Send a search term via the `location.hash`, e.g.,
https://alshedivat.github.io/al-folio/publications/#mechanics
**Notes:**
- The search box is optional. It can be simply removed if anyone does
not like it.
- Searching via `hash` works without the search box. My idea is to use
this functionality to index all BibTeX entries via the `ctrl-k` search
and link them via their BibTeX key.
- Searching via `hash` could also be used to set static links on the
current page, e.g., to filter specific co-authors, venues, etc.
- I don't know much about the design of the input field. I simply reused
the newsletter box style.
- Entering a search term in the box does exact matching. No fuzzy
search, no AND/OR logic. I kept it very simple. Maybe anyone else wants
to improve it in the future.
- The search looks in all data in the BibTeX entry that is parsed via
`bib.liquid`. E.g., it is possible to search for BibTeX keys, titles,
authors, years, venues, abstracts, or whatever `bib.liquid` prints.
- I used a 300ms delay before starting to search on the input box.
- Entering search terms in the box does not update the location hash
(things could get complex otherwise due to automatically updating each
other...)
- If the filter does not find any match in a specific year, the year is
also made invisible.

Looking for feedback.
I noticed disabling latest_posts in `_config.yml` didn't work because
the variable in the liquid template was seemingly incorrect. This should
fix that.

summary:
- adds prettier formatter configuration
- formats the entire repo using prettier, ignoring minified files
(`*.min.css`) and heavy generated html
- changes extensions of all `.html` files to `.liquid`, which is more
correct and necessary for prettier to work correctly
- replaces "%-" and "-%" with just "%" — manual liquid formatting using
minus signs is superfluous since we are compressing and minifying the
code anyway
- adds CI action for running prettier check on PR and pushes to master
Since the citation file and other stuff is already defined in
`_config.yml`, removed them when calling `{% bibliography %}`. Also
realized that `jekyll-scholar` helps in displaying only the papers cited
in page, changed to use that.

Addresses #963.
Supports two setups: getting profile text from page content.
```markdown
---
layout: about
title: about
permalink: /
subtitle: <a href='#'>Affiliations</a>. Address. Contacts. Moto. Etc.
profiles:
# if you want to include more than one profile, just replicate the following block
# and create one content file for each profile inside _pages/
- align: right
image: prof_pic.jpg
# content: about_einstein.md
image_circular: false # crops the image to make it circular
more_info: >
<p>555 your office number</p>
<p>123 your address street</p>
<p>Your City, State 12345</p>
news: true # includes a list of news items
selected_papers: true # includes a list of papers marked as "selected={true}"
social: true # includes social icons at the bottom of the page

Write your biography here. Tell the world about yourself. Link to your favorite [subreddit](http://reddit.com). You can put a picture in, too. The code is already in, just name your picture `prof_pic.jpg` and put it in the `img/` folder.
Put your address / P.O. box / other info right below your picture. You can also disable any these elements by editing `profile` property of the YAML header of your `_pages/about.md`. Edit `_bibliography/papers.bib` and Jekyll will render your [publications page](/al-folio/publications/) automatically.
Link to your social media connections, too. This theme is set up to use [Font Awesome icons](http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/) and [Academicons](https://jpswalsh.github.io/academicons/), like the ones below. Add your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Scholar, or just disable all of them.
```
Or getting profile text from `content` (useful when having multiple
profiles).

The bibliography filename `papers.bib` is hard coded in templates, and
the equivalent setting in `_config.yml` is not used anywhere. So
changing the bib filename in `_config.yml` won't have any effects.
This PR replaces hard-coded filenames with the value from `_config.yml`.
