Pipeline notes

The summary and note below are generated by the signal pipeline — they are Beyond Desk’s reading, not quotations from the source.

For teams rolling out Copilot in regulated or sensitive codebases, this clarifies how policy boundaries translate into actual context filtering at the tool level.
