Description
## Summary
Add SDK support for Copilot CLI company announcements so applications embedding the SDK can display centrally configured organization or repository messages.
## Runtime behavior
The agent runtime already supports `companyAnnouncements` (originally `launch_messages`):
- User settings can define an array of announcement strings.
- Repository settings can define the same key in `.github/copilot/settings.json` / `.github/copilot/settings.local.json`
- Repository announcements replace user-level announcements when present.
- In the interactive CLI, startup announcements flow through `NotificationService`; its TUI handler emits an ephemeral `session.info` event with `infoType: "notification"` and a message prefixed with `Company announcement:`.
- Repository announcements are similarly emitted after trusted repository settings are loaded.

Research direction
Start by tracing how SDK sessions expose runtime events, then compare the referenced runtime pull requests and the NotificationService behavior described here. Check how trusted repository settings and user settings are represented in the SDK. Done means applications can receive company announcements with the specified session.info notification format and replacement behavior.
