Code Review
This pull request updates the messageCenterPosts dataset in the Copilot Agents Guide by adding several new posts, modifying existing ones, and removing outdated entries, alongside updating the guide's last-updated timestamp to June 2026. The review feedback correctly identifies a critical mismatch where the audience key researcherAnalyst is used instead of firstParty (which is required by the UI to display these posts under the First-Party Agents tab). Suggestions are provided to update this key across multiple posts (MC1325422, MC1309733, MC1309732, and MC1309731) and to adjust the automated update script to prevent future regressions.

There is a mismatch between the audience key generated for First-Party Agents (researcherAnalyst) and the key used by the UI (firstParty). Because of this, any message center post targeting researcherAnalyst will not be displayed under the First-Party Agents tab in the guide.
To fix this, the audience key should be updated to firstParty. Additionally, please update the automated update script scripts/update-message-center.js (specifically the scores object and the agents array) to use firstParty instead of researcherAnalyst so that future automated runs do not overwrite this fix.

Similar to the issue on line 105, the audience key researcherAnalyst should be updated to firstParty to ensure these PowerPoint skill updates are correctly displayed under the First-Party Agents tab in the guide.
