+- Standardized `WinPEStartup` naming to `WinpeStartup` across exported startup cmdlets, private helpers, source folders and files, internal calls, status messages, and function help.
+- Updated module defaults and the bundled OSDCloud startup profile to use the `Invoke-WinpeStartup:` JSON key prefix. Startup driver, file, and profile discovery now consistently references `WinpeStartup\Drivers`, `WinpeStartup\Files`, and `WinpeStartup\profiles`.
+- Updated the module description, README command reference, deployment and troubleshooting guides, startup documentation, feature and privacy documentation, and profile-authoring guidance to use the same naming.
+- Retained existing PEStartup compatibility aliases and updated their targets to the standardized cmdlet names. This release changes capitalization only; startup parameters, defaults, and deployment behavior are unchanged.
