[Marius Storhaug (MariusStorhaug)]

PSModule no longer supplies an inherited pull request template. New pull requests in repositories that used the organization fallback no longer receive that scaffold; existing descriptions and repository-local templates are unchanged. No module code, configuration, workflow, runtime or installation changes are required.

Removed: Organization-default pull request template

The central .github/pull_request_template.md is deleted without a replacement. This PR makes no other file changes. README, contribution guidance, other community policies, issue forms and agent routes retain their existing contents.

For a new PR that relied on this fallback, write the description through the existing authoring entrypoints and verify it expresses the applicable result and consumer actions or a justified no-action outcome. There are no prerequisite installations, intermediate operations or consumer-code edits for this removal. The user's intended discovery path is repository AGENTS.md plus the PR-format skill, rather than additional documentation pointers. This PR does not add or verify that wiring across repositories.

Technical details

Exact scoped comparison: base f424237c98b5b020f80e8c9563dbc37256fc1ec0 to candidate 34fe1e90009a22c79b53edc6456c24a47f21fcfd contains one removed file, .github/pull_request_template.md, with 0 additions and 18 deletions. README and .github/CONTRIBUTING.md match actual current main byte-for-byte. Only the 3 README and 11 CONTRIBUTING lines previously added by this PR were removed; all pre-existing guidance and links are preserved.

Plan and history: all scoped implementation and current-source review steps in Task PSModule/.github#81 are complete. Earlier scaffold-distribution and extra-documentation requirements are superseded, not delivered; ordinary commits and comments retain their audit trail. No other repository, agent file, skill, workflow, test, dependency, linter or pre-commit configuration changed. No prose/source-shape assertions or validation pipeline were added for this deletion.

Verification and review: the live GitHub diff confirms the single deletion. Git blob comparisons establish exact main-byte equality for both restored documents, and the complete pushed tree contains no replacement PR template. Working, staged and complete-range whitespace checks passed. The full head-bound review is APPROVED on 34fe1e90009a22c79b53edc6456c24a47f21fcfd and records no active issues. There are zero inline comments and zero unresolved threads; the shared review loop reports a clean round. GitHub reports reviewDecision: APPROVED and mergeStateStatus: CLEAN. No genuine review blocker is currently recorded, and no merge or new approving review was performed by this session.

Current prerequisites: the repository-only validator/linter delivery was withdrawn and pre-commit deferred. Issues #83, #84 and #85 are closed as not_planned, the old native dependency on #83 was removed with user approval, and ruleset 26275706 has an empty rules list. Those historical criteria are not blockers and this PR restores none of that work. This is not an MSX-wide standard change. MSXOrg/docs#209 is merged and is not a pending source dependency.

The scoped issue sweep covers Task #81 and the related deleted-template request; no additional issue is fully satisfied by this diff. Only Task #81 is a closing reference. This target has no Release Management or native versioned-artifact publication route, so the scoped diff supplies change coverage without an invented publication baseline, release label or Release decisions block.

GitHub auto-merge remains null, and existing Agent merge retains merge_pr: false; those settings were not changed. No label, protection, issue-state or native-relationship mutation is included. Merge and delivery closure remain separate from this verified revision.

🔵 Needs a closer look

The governing scaffold in MSXOrg/docs#209 remains draft and merge-blocked, so source readiness and required CI/governance gates need maintainer confirmation before approval.

What changed in this PR

Expands PSModule’s inherited pull request template into a complete, audience-first release-note scaffold for repositories without a local template. This is a documentation-only change; it does not alter release automation or runtime behavior.

Changes:

• Adds five ordered result groups with adoption, compatibility, verification, and result-specific evidence prompts.
• Clarifies announcement boundaries and conditional release decisions, including settings precedence and canonical labels.
• Adds contribution guidance linking the inherited template and keeping release-specific upgrade instructions in PR descriptions and release notes.

File	Description
.github/​pull_request_template.md	Provides the complete release-note scaffold and conditional release authoring guidance.
.github/​CONTRIBUTING.md	Links the inherited template and clarifies where consumer upgrade instructions belong.

Inspected the complete final-head review, including its summary. There are no code findings or inline threads. The summary calls out the draft governing source and required CI/governance confirmation; those remain real prerequisites, with the native validation/enforcement dependency tracked in #83. This PR stays draft. The successful review check is not substituted for an enforced file-validation gate, and no auto-merge or ruleset change is made.

🔵 Needs a closer look

Maintainer confirmation is needed because MSXOrg/docs#209 remains draft and unmerged, while #83 leaves required candidate-head validation and protection enforcement unresolved.

🔵 Needs a closer look

The required exact-head Community file validation is missing, and pending canonical no-file guidance and separately owned validator integration require reconciliation and independent confirmation.
