[bot] Add HTTP hooks documentation to Learning Hub

[github-actions]

What's new

HTTP hook support was added to GitHub Copilot CLI in v1.0.35 (released 2026-04-21). Hooks can now use "type": "http" to POST JSON payloads directly to a URL instead of running a local shell command — useful for integrating with external webhooks, notification services, and custom backends without needing curl or a script.

What was updated

website/src/content/docs/learning-hub/automating-with-hooks.md

• Rewrote the Event Configuration section to document both hook types ("command" and "http")
• Split into two subsections — Command Hooks and HTTP Hooks — each with their own configuration reference
• Added an HTTP hook configuration example with url and timeoutSec fields
• Added a practical Slack webhook example using "type": "http"
• Updated the Notification on Session End practical example to show both approaches (HTTP hook for simplicity, command hook for more control)
• Updated the intro paragraph to reflect that hooks can run shell commands or POST to HTTP endpoints
• Updated lastUpdated to 2026-04-21

• Copilot CLI v1.0.35-0 release notes: "Add HTTP hook support, allowing hooks to POST JSON payloads to a configured URL instead of running a local command"
