⚙️ [Maintenance]: Lock Pester test dependency to the 6.x major version

[Marius Storhaug (MariusStorhaug)]

This module's Pester tests now lock to the 6.x major version instead of the exact 5.8.0 pin. An exact pin breaks whenever the runner resolves a different Pester (as happened once 5.8.0 was superseded); a major lock tracks every 6.x release while still blocking an unvetted new major.

Changed: the exact 5.8.0 pin becomes a 6.x major lock

Each *.Tests.ps1 file now requires:

#Requires -Modules@{ ModuleName='Pester'; ModuleVersion='6.0.0'; MaximumVersion='6.*' }

Any Pester 6.x satisfies it, so routine minor and patch updates no longer need a PR — only a new major does.

Technical Details

• Updates the #Requires -Modules statement in each test file under tests/ from RequiredVersion = '5.8.0' to ModuleVersion = '6.0.0'; MaximumVersion = '6.*'.
• Module-identity (GUID) pinning is intentionally omitted — a separate supply-chain control, not part of the lock-to-major risk appetite.
• The install side is locked to the same major in ⚙️ [Maintenance]: Lock Pester to the 6.x major version Invoke-Pester#70. Part of the dependency-management epic Dependency management for PowerShell scripts and modules Process-PSModule#356.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the test script’s #Requires -Modules directive to allow any Pester 6.x release (while still pinning the module GUID), replacing the previous exact pin to Pester 5.8.0. This aligns test discovery with a major-version lock so minor/patch updates don’t require follow-up PRs.

Changes:

• Replaced RequiredVersion = '5.8.0' with a 6.x range using ModuleVersion = '6.0.0' and MaximumVersion = '6.999.999'.
• Kept the module identity pin via the existing Pester module GUID.
