Oct 2025: Focused reliability and UX improvements for Microsoft365DSC. Fixed TermOfUseName variable typo in MSFT_AADConditionalAccessPolicy.psm1 and updated the changelog; this also included removal of $OutputDSCPath from M365DSCReverse (Issue #6580). Implemented a UX-friendly enhancement by removing the OutputDSCPath prefix from DSC export filenames in M365DSCReverse.psm1, enabling relative paths for outputs like M365TenantConfig.ps1 and ConfigurationData.psd1. These changes reduce file-path errors, streamline exports, and improve automation reliability.
