Pull request overview
Updates the Copilot Chat OpenTelemetry “Quick Start” documentation to use Aspire Dashboard’s OTLP/HTTP ingestion rather than OTLP/gRPC, and adds a screenshot of traces in the Aspire Dashboard UI.
Changes:
- Switches the Aspire Dashboard port mapping and description from OTLP/gRPC (4317) to OTLP/HTTP (4318).
- Simplifies the VS Code settings snippet by relying on the default
otlp-httpexporter and default endpoint. - Adds a screenshot illustrating what traces look like in Aspire Dashboard.

- Enabling OTel via
github.copilot.chat.otel.*settings requires a window reload to take effect (per the setting descriptions). The quick start currently goes straight from editing settings to generating telemetry, which may fail unless the user reloads. Suggest adding an explicit “Reload Window” step or note after the JSON snippet.
### 2. Configure VS Code
Open **Settings** (`Ctrl+,`) and add:
```json
{
"github.copilot.chat.otel.enabled": true,
"github.copilot.chat.otel.captureContent": true
}
Note: You can also use environment variables instead of VS Code settings (see Configuration). Environment variables always take precedence.

Updated the OTLP endpoint from gRPC to HTTP and modified the related configuration settings. This simplifies configuration.
The latest version of Aspire dashboard docker image includes support for OTLP/HTTP (protobuf or json)
