The copilot-setup-steps job ran before every Copilot coding agent task, unconditionally: submodule checkout, apt dependencies, Qt 6.7, vcpkg bootstrap and restore, CMake configure and a full build, with a 60 minute timeout. For documentation and other text-only tasks that entire preflight is wasted, and there is no per-task switch to skip it.

Removing the workflow means cloud tasks start from a plain repository checkout. Tasks that actually need to compile have to be run locally, or the workflow can be restored from history.

The copilot-setup-steps job ran before every Copilot task and spent up to
an hour on submodule checkout, Qt, vcpkg and a full build, which is wasted
work for documentation and other text-only tasks. Remove it so cloud tasks
start from a plain checkout.
