MSX now defines organization-level and repository-level standards for the files and behaviours every initiative should make consistent. Initiative repositories can keep their implementation designs local while the central docs define the shared why and what.
New: Organization standards
A new Organization Standard page defines what each initiative organization must document centrally: required file families, managed-file ownership, mandatory versus optional file sets, linter configuration ownership, and agent/human alignment.
New: Repository standards
A new Repository Standard page defines the baseline files and behaviours each repository should expose, including README, license, contribution, security, support, code of conduct, Dependabot, CODEOWNERS, pull request templates, release configuration, linter configuration, and Git defaults.
Changed: Standards separate spec from initiative implementation
The central MSX docs now state the shared requirements while initiative repositories keep the implementation guidance and rollout design. PSModule and Distributor are referenced as examples of an initiative-specific implementation path, not as the universal MSX design.
