Add `text` language tag to 25 unlabeled fenced code blocks across the
public-facing READMEs. Mostly directory-tree listings, all-contributors
bot instructions, and pseudo-output ASCII blocks — none were getting
syntax highlighting anyway, but the explicit tag silences markdownlint
MD040 and signals intent ("this is plain text, not a forgotten lang").

Theme
The default theme is Crimson: Harvard crimson accents, white background, branded footer. All decks share a common API (\mlsystitle, \mlsysfocus, \mlsyscard, etc.).
Adopting instructors who want a different look can create their own variant by copying beamerthememlsys.sty and adjusting the color definitions. The API stays the same, so no .tex files need to change.
