Keep the harnesses distinct
The Copilot Chat harness supports declarative agents that extend Microsoft Copilot. The Microsoft Copilot harness used in the refreshed labs was previously labelled GitHub Copilot; older documentation and interface labels can still use that name. Neither is the Standard harness.
The Customer Conversation harness supports customer-facing chat and voice experiences. Choose a harness for the required behavior, channels, tools, and governance rather than treating the names as interchangeable.
