Pull request overview
Note
Copilot was unable to run its full agentic suite in this review.
Updates Copilot documentation to clarify how semantic indexing for non-GitHub repositories is enabled and which specific policy controls it.
Changes:
- Fixes a formatting issue where the paragraph appeared as a stray table row/pipe-prefixed line.
- Adds the explicit policy name (
Semantic indexing for non-GitHub repositories) to reduce ambiguity for admins.
