RM573168Planner: Planner Agent in Copilot V2 Improvements

Planner Agent brings Planner’s intelligent work management directly into Copilot Chat, enabling users to create, update, and manage personal tasks and shared basic plans without switching context.

Building on the initial launch, planned improvements include:

Improved context handling and support for larger plans.
