Pull request overview
This PR updates the module’s Pester test file to explicitly declare a required Pester version at script discovery time (via #Requires -Modules), aiming to standardize dependency expectations for running the test suite.
Changes:
- Added a
#Requires -Modulesdeclaration to enforce a minimum Pester version and pin module identity via GUID. - Introduced an attempted major-version constraint using
MaximumVersion = '6.*'in the module specification.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
The GUID pins module identity (precise pinning), a stricter control than the lock-to-major risk appetite. Keep only the version range.

Pester tests in this module now require the Pester 6.x major version, so every contributor and CI run resolves the same major and a new Pester major can't slip in and break the suite. The tests previously declared no framework requirement and ran on whatever Pester happened to be installed.
Changed: tests are locked to the Pester 6.x major
Every
*.Tests.ps1file now starts with a version-bounded requirement:#Requires -Modules @{ ModuleName = 'Pester'; ModuleVersion = '6.0.0'; MaximumVersion = '6.*' }Any Pester
6.xsatisfies it, so minor and patch releases flow in automatically while moving to a new major stays a deliberate, reviewed change. No module source or behaviour changes.Technical Details
#Requires -Modulesstatement to each test file undertests/; non-test files are untouched.ModuleVersion = '6.0.0'is the floor andMaximumVersion = '6.*'the wildcard major ceiling. Module-identity (GUID) pinning is intentionally omitted — it is a separate supply-chain control, not part of the lock-to-major risk appetite.
