Closes #7.

Summary

Adds a lightweight GitHub operating model for the WG and refreshes it against current main after the prior-work and use-case documents merged.

This PR makes repository status easier to discover for new and returning contributors by adding:

  • WORKING-METHODS.md with issue-first work tracking, status terms, operating cadence, PR expectations, review windows, decision recording, meeting-note linkage, Google Docs-to-GitHub flow, living-document freshness guidance, cross-WG coordination, and optional GitHub Projects guidance
  • a README Start Here section that now links the charter, working methods, prior-work survey, use cases, open issues, open PRs, meeting minutes, and reporting template
  • an issue template that asks for outcome, workstream, owner, status, next step, review/decision need, links, and acceptance criteria
  • a PR template that asks for related issue, review notes, follow-ups, review window, and issue/freshness checklist items

Coordination Notes

This intentionally treats GitHub issues as the durable source of truth. A GitHub Project board can still be useful later, but only as a view over issue-backed work.

This also complements, rather than duplicates, the newer contributor onboarding, liaison tracker, and trace-model planning PRs. Those can provide more specific guidance while this PR defines the repository-level operating model.

Validation

  • git diff --check origin/main...HEAD
  • verified README links added by this PR point to files present on the refreshed branch
