Copilot or Discover browser extension not working as expected for managed Edge browser
Thanks for your sum up, Peter!
The policy DiscoverPageContextEnabled is being deprecated and will be obsoleted in Edge 127. and two new Edge Policies are taking its place.
Those policies are
CopilotPageContext (Control Copilot access to page contents for AAD profiles), and
CopilotCDPPageContext (Control Copilot with Commerical Data Protection access to page contents for AAD profiles).
The current policy doesn't allow for separate control of Copilot and Copilot with Commercial Data Protection. The new policies allow separate control of these versions of Copilot. The new policies will also allow admins to force-enable Copilot access to Edge page contents by enabling the policy, whereas DiscoverPageContextEnabled only allows force-disabling of Copilot page access.

I am trying to do this in a GCC tenant now with a pilot group testing Copilot. For the life of me, I cannot get the stupid Copilot button to show up after setting all the above as close as I can. One of my team members was able to make the "Discover" button show up, but it does nothing. Then I added the extension ID as shown on this page and still nothing.
Will all this work in a GCC tenant? FYI, the free Copilot chat was just released to all GCC tenants last week. Maybe MSFT is still just dragging behind. The attached image is how I have the policy set up and applied to 2 devices in a test group.
