There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think we can combine text here to remove the multiple references to strategy.md.
Something like this might work:
"All participation and decision-making in RuFaS is guided by the values and operating principles defined in Strategy.md, along with strategic pillars."

What
This pull request adds a new Strategy.md document to the root of the repository and updates related governance documents to align with the approved strategic direction of RuFaS.
The strategy document establishes a shared vision, mission, strategic pillars, core values, and operating principles that guide decision-making across the RuFaS ecosystem. The intent is not to prescribe specific projects, roadmaps, or implementation plans, but rather to provide a durable framework that helps contributors, maintainers, sponsors, and leadership make coordinated decisions while preserving flexibility and autonomy.
Why
