Research direction

Review the Microsoft OSS release checklist in #1345 and the local pre-scan work in PR #1344 first. Confirm the remaining official PoliCheck run and commit-history scrub requirements, then verify that both are complete before closing this checklist item.

Description

Original author: @cedricvidal

Sub-issue of #1345 (Microsoft OSS release checklist).

Partially addressed by #1344 — local pre-scan only; does not fully close this item (official PoliCheck + history scrub remain).

Checklist item 6 — Going public / PoliCheck — pre-scan PR #1344 open; official run pending

Best-effort local pre-scan complete (PR #1344: 6 whitelist→allowlist edits, non-behavioral). Clean on profanity, geopolitical, trademarks, and internal codenames. The official PoliCheck and commit-history scrub still must run.
