Description

Ports the following template PRs:

Template PR #76 — Agent restructure and lint cleanup:

• Replaced 5 old role-based agents (code-quality, requirements, software-developer, technical-writer, test-developer) with 3 new standards-driven agents (developer, implementation, quality)
• Updated code-review and repo-consistency agents with streamlined workflow and .agent-logs/-based reporting
• Created .github/standards/ directory with 6 reusable standards files: csharp-language.md, csharp-testing.md, reqstream-usage.md, reviewmark-usage.md, software-items.md, technical-documentation.md
• Rewrote AGENTS.md around the standards-delegation model; agent report convention moved from AGENT_REPORT_*.md to .agent-logs/[agent]-[subject]-[id].md
• Updated lint.sh / lint.bat: added --silent / --quiet flags to reduce noise
• Updated .markdownlint-cli2.yaml: added noBanner and noProgress options, added .agent-logs/ exclusion
• Updated .cspell.yaml, .gitignore, .yamllint.yaml: added .agent-logs/ to exclusion lists
• Updated build.yaml: removed --definition .reviewmark.yaml (auto-discovered by ReviewMark)

Template PR #75 — Formalize build_notes.md path and artifact handling:

• Updated release.yaml: removed the "Move build_notes.md to root" step; artifacts/build_notes.md is now used directly as bodyFile in the GitHub Release step
