## Description Ports the approved PR #2020 Transparency Note update to `main`. PR #2020 merged into `docs/transparency-note`, so the approved file changes did not reach the default branch. Aligns the HVE Core Transparency Note with the AI Messaging Guidance. Four prose edits: * adds a limitation that outputs inherit the host model's properties (can fail, not neutral, not bias-free) * describes agents and prompts by capability instead of productivity claims * enumerates Microsoft's six AI principles * softens "the right" to "appropriate" Responsible AI controls File scope: `TRANSPARENCY-NOTE.md` only. ## Type of Change **Code & Documentation:** * [x] Documentation update ## Testing Targeted local validation on `TRANSPARENCY-NOTE.md`: * `npx markdownlint-cli2 TRANSPARENCY-NOTE.md`: pass * `npx cspell TRANSPARENCY-NOTE.md`: pass, 0 issues * `git diff --check origin/main..HEAD`: pass * `& .\scripts\linting\Markdown-Link-Check.ps1 -Path @('TRANSPARENCY-NOTE.md')`: passed once before push; later reruns returned HTTP 403 from Microsoft pages (`https://www.microsoft.com/ai/responsible-ai` and `https://www.microsoft.com/ai/tools-practices`). The file diff remains unchanged because it intentionally mirrors the approved PR #2020 patch. ## Checklist ### Required Checks * [x] Documentation is updated (if applicable) * [x] Files follow existing naming conventions * [x] Changes are backwards compatible (if applicable) ### Required Automated Checks * [x] Targeted Markdown linting: `npx markdownlint-cli2 TRANSPARENCY-NOTE.md` * [x] Targeted spell checking: `npx cspell TRANSPARENCY-NOTE.md` * [x] Whitespace validation: `git diff --check origin/main..HEAD` * [ ] Link validation: intermittent external 403s from Microsoft pages, see Testing ## Security Considerations * [x] This PR does not contain any sensitive or NDA information * [x] No new dependencies
