⚙️ [Maintenance]: Template baseline stays current (#58)

Repositories created from this template inherit centralized
Process-PSModule guidance, leaner template metadata, updated automation
defaults, and consistent LF text checkouts. Existing repositories are
unaffected.

## Changed: Template guidance

New template consumers start with the canonical [Process-PSModule
documentation](https://psmodule.io/Process-PSModule/). `AGENTS.md`
directs readers to the local README and contributing guide, and the
contributing guide links to the central MSX and Process-PSModule
guidance.

## Changed: Template baseline

New repositories no longer include the optional starter example, local
CODEOWNERS file, or local pull-request template. Dependabot checks
GitHub Actions dependencies every third day without custom labels. The
template coverage target is 80%, and its scoped zizmor policy permits
the owned Process-PSModule reusable-workflow `@v8` reference while
retaining default hash-pinning requirements for other action references.

## Changed: Cross-platform line endings

Git uses `text=auto eol=lf` for the template. Detected text files are
stored and checked out with LF line endings on Windows, macOS, and
Linux. Git continues to leave detected binary content, including the
template icon, unchanged.

## Adopting this release

This applies only when creating a repository from this template
revision. No configuration, code, or invocation changes are required
beyond selecting this template revision.

## Release impact

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Effective decision | `release:skip` label, selected for internal
template maintenance. |
| Semantic effect | No release is produced. |
| Release/base coordinates | No version or release coordinates apply. |

### Consumer change record

| Identifier / surface | Before | After | Applicability / prerequisites
| Consumer action | Verification |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Template guidance | Retired deep documentation links and duplicated
navigation. | Canonical Process-PSModule entry point and local
agent-to-contributor navigation. | New repositories created from this
template. | Select this template revision. | Tracked guidance references
the canonical Process-PSModule documentation entry point. |
| Template automation baseline | Daily Dependabot checks, placeholder
ownership and pull-request-template files, no zizmor policy, and no
default coverage target. | Three-day Dependabot cadence, an 80% coverage
target, a scoped zizmor configuration, and removed unused placeholders.
| New repositories created from this template. | Select this template
revision and customize repository-specific policy where needed. |
Modified YAML configuration is valid and the scoped policy covers the
owned reusable workflow reference. |
| Cross-platform line endings | Redundant type-specific rules
supplemented the generic text policy. | `text=auto eol=lf` makes
detected text use LF and relies on Git binary detection. | New and fresh
checkouts of this template. | Select this template revision. | `git
ls-files --eol` identifies the template icon as binary and Git reports
LF in the index for tracked text files. |

### Template baseline

| Field | Evidence |
| --- | --- |
| Producer identity | Not applicable; this pull request changes the
template repository itself. |
| Template identity | `PSModule/Template-PSModule` candidate commit
`e15cff75dc679dde8fa49527656c5e2aca643289`. |
| Compatibility evidence | The existing caller workflow continues to
reference `PSModule/Process-PSModule/.github/workflows/workflow.yml@v8`,
and the scoped zizmor policy permits that owned mutable-major reference.
|
| Template work | Delivered by this pull request. |

### Maintainer evidence

| Changed surface | Standards checked | Framework docs checked | Result
|
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `README.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `.github/CONTRIBUTING.md` | Markdown and
natural-language guidance | Process-PSModule documentation and MSX
contribution guidance | Aligned |
| `.github/dependabot.yml`, `.github/PSModule.yml`,
`.github/linters/zizmor.yaml` | YAML and GitHub Actions guidance |
Process-PSModule settings | Aligned |
| `.gitattributes` | Git cross-platform line-ending behavior | Git
`gitattributes` documentation | Aligned |
| Template placeholder removals | Repository baseline | None | Aligned |

 The canonical starting template for new PowerShell modules in the PSModule organization.
 
-## Purpose
-
-Use this template when creating a new PowerShell module repository.
-It provides the CI/CD framework wiring, repository contribution guidance, and starter layout that every PSModule module repository needs.
-Code of Conduct, security, and support policies are inherited from [`PSModule/.github`](https://github.com/PSModule/.github).
-Process-PSModule owns release generation, so the template does not include GitHub generated-release-notes configuration.
-
-For step-by-step instructions, see the [template quickstart](https://psmodule.github.io/docs/Modules/Process-PSModule/template-quickstart/).
-
-## After creating a repository from this template
-
-1. Replace the `{{ NAME }}` placeholder with your module name throughout the repository.
-2. Replace the starter function, test, and example with your module's first real command.
-3. Set the repository description and custom properties on GitHub.
-4. Confirm `.github/PSModule.yml` only overrides defaults when your module needs different behavior.
-5. Open a draft pull request and run the full CI pipeline.
-
-See [repository defaults](https://psmodule.github.io/docs/Modules/Repository-Defaults/) for the full checklist.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-Modules built from this template use the [PSModule framework](https://github.com/PSModule/Process-PSModule) for building, testing, and publishing.
-
-## Contributing
-
-To contribute to this template itself, read the [contribution guidelines](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md).
-For agents and AI tools, start with [`AGENTS.md`](AGENTS.md).
+For setup, read the framework guidance in the
+[Process-PSModule documentation](https://psmodule.io/Process-PSModule/).
