🌟 [Major]: Separate Pester and GitHub version and prerelease inputs

[dependabot]

Bumps PSModule/Invoke-Pester from 4.2.4 to 5.1.0 and reworks the action's version inputs so callers can control the Pester module and the GitHub module independently. Versions and prereleases now trickle down to the right place: Pester settings flow to the Invoke-Pester step, and GitHub-module settings flow to both the GitHub-Script step and the Invoke-Pester init bootstrap.

New: PesterVersion and PesterPrerelease

Control the version (and prerelease opt-in) of the Pester module used to run the analyzer tests, using NuGet version-range syntax (for example [6.0.0,7.0.0)). When empty, the latest available version is installed.

Changed: Version/Prerelease are now GitHubVersion/GitHubPrerelease

The inputs that control the GitHub module version are renamed to make their scope explicit. They flow to both the GitHub-Script step and the Invoke-Pester init bootstrap.

Breaking Changes

The Version and Prerelease inputs are removed. Callers that pinned the GitHub module must switch to GitHubVersion/GitHubPrerelease. To pin Pester, use the new PesterVersion/PesterPrerelease inputs.

Before:

- uses: PSModule/Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer@v1
  with:
    Version: '[1.2.0, 2.0.0)'
    Prerelease: 'true'

After:

- uses: PSModule/Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer@v2
  with:
    GitHubVersion: '[1.2.0, 2.0.0)'
    GitHubPrerelease: 'true'
    PesterVersion: '[6.0.0,7.0.0)'

Technical Details

• action.yml: replaced the Version/Prerelease inputs with PesterVersion, PesterPrerelease, GitHubVersion, GitHubPrerelease.
• Invoke-Pester step bumped to v5.1.0 (SHA 4ff33199141fdf22568990b6107fe3148ae93a1c): its Version/Prerelease (Pester module) ← PesterVersion/PesterPrerelease; its GitHubVersion/GitHubPrerelease (GitHub bootstrap) ← GitHubVersion/GitHubPrerelease.
• Get-TestPaths (GitHub-Script) step: Version/Prerelease ← GitHubVersion/GitHubPrerelease.
• Under Invoke-Pester v5, the step's Version/Prerelease control the Pester module and GitHubVersion/GitHubPrerelease control the GitHub bootstrap module — this is the reason the interface split is needed.
• README.md: inputs table updated to document the four inputs.

Pull request overview

Updates this repository’s composite GitHub Action to use the newer PSModule/Invoke-Pester action (v5.1.0) while preserving the documented behavior of this action’s public Version and Prerelease inputs (i.e., still selecting the GitHub bootstrap module version, not the Pester module version).

Changes:

• Bumped the pinned PSModule/Invoke-Pester action reference from v4.2.4 to v5.1.0 (by commit SHA).
• Remapped this action’s Version/Prerelease inputs to Invoke-Pester’s GitHubVersion/GitHubPrerelease inputs to avoid the v5 breaking-change semantics shift.
