What's in this Pull Request?

Refreshes the Microsoft Copilot Agents Guide for August 2026.

• Reframes the guide around current Microsoft-built experiences, Agents in SharePoint, Agent Builder, the three Copilot Studio harnesses, and Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit.
• Corrects Cowork availability, preview states, licensing considerations, Microsoft Agent 365 positioning, and FastTrack remote-guidance boundaries.
• Adds dated official Microsoft source links and separates the core fact-review date from the automated Message Center feed date.
• Refreshes Message Center data and fixes the Microsoft-built audience mapping from researcherAnalyst to the UI key firstParty.
• Preserves the latest upstream Copilot Studio guidance for Microsoft Entra Agent ID, MCP, workflows, A2A, connected agents, and computer use.
• Updates the resource README to version 4.0.0.

Validation completed:

• Catalog metadata check for all 30 resources.
• Message Center updater and JavaScript syntax check.
• Desktop and mobile browser checks across every guide approach and tab.
• Official source-link checks.
• Cross-model factual and UI review with Gemini 3.6 Flash.
