Why it moved the index

Microsoft's dated first-party announcement directly documents a new managed channel for hours-long, adaptive, computer-using Opus 5 agents. Magnitude is moderately high because the autonomy is operational and enterprise-deployable, while governance and observability reduce but do not remove the added reach. Confidence is high because the supported behaviors and availability are explicit.
