…DP issue Flatten each per-version subfolder into a single top-level .ps1, move the sunflower_sphere example to examples/, and consolidate all per-script READMEs into the 3dsmax/README.md index. Fold the Autodesk ADP 'Failed to start' known issue for 3ds Max 2027 into that README with root cause and workaround (mirrors deadline-cloud-for-3ds-max discussion aws-deadline#271).

What was the problem/requirement? (What/Why)
3ds Max 2027 launched in server mode (as render nodes do) can abort at startup with
ADP Failed to start(exit code -12) when the launching user is opted out of the Autodesk Analytics Program (ADP). This blocks all rendering on fleets provisioned with the 3ds Max 2027 host configuration scripts, but the READMEs gave customers no warning or pointer to the fix.What was the solution? (How)
Added a
## Known issue: Autodesk ADPsection to all five affected 3ds Max 2027 host config READMEs (base, +V-Ray, +Corona 14, +V-Ray+tyFlow, +V-Ray+AEC plugins). Each section describes the symptom, links deadline-cloud-for-3ds-max discussion #271 for the root cause, and points to the opt-in consent workaround with the consent caveat.What is the impact of this change?
Customers provisioning 3ds Max 2027 Service Managed Fleets are warned about the ADP startup failure and directed to the documented workaround before hitting it in production.
How was this change tested?
Documentation-only change. Ran
python scripts/validate_repository.py(only a pre-existing Windows path-separator unit-test failure, unrelated to this change) and confirmed the new discussion link is not among the external-link checker failures.Was this change documented?
Yes - this change is itself documentation for the five affected samples.
