Problem
The .github README doesn't clearly document what inherits automatically vs what requires manual action.
Key Findings from ai-workflows Audit
Auto-inherited (when present at root):
- CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, SECURITY.md, SUPPORT.md, FUNDING.yml
- Issue templates (
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/)
- PR templates (
.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/)
NOT inherited (must be copied or synced):
- GitHub Actions workflows (
.github/workflows/)
- Labels (requires
gh label clone or label-sync automation)
- Branch protection rules
- Repository settings
Suggested Fix
Add an "Inheritance" section to the README explaining what propagates automatically and what needs manual action.
Found during ai-workflows inheritance audit.
