Composer

**ABS Test in WebChat - note no greeting **

Shiproom - I and Darren can repro this. First play to look is app settings between a bot provisioned by composer and the ibiza portal

Creating a new publish profile doesn't automatically publish so there is nothing on the disk (checked with kudu). Manually publishing makes test in webchat work but super confusing to an end user that this isn't done.

FWIW Making a bot a skill flow creates a publishing profile and publishes

This is the same as #6827

Shiproom - creating a pub profile provisions but doesn't deploy. this is why the bot isn't working. if you deploy, the bot will work. as much as we'd like to make an improvement in this experience, we don't have enough time to make an structural changes in R13. moving out to R14

Closing this as a dupe of #6827
