⚙️ [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, consistent with the rest of the ecosystem. This re-establishes the requirement (removed in #16) as a major-version lock rather than the earlier exact 5.8.0 pin, now that Pester 6.0.0 is published.

Changed: tests lock to the Pester 6.x major

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

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

Technical Details

• Adds the #Requires -Modules statement to tests/PSCustomObject.Tests.ps1.
• Module-identity (GUID) pinning is intentionally omitted — a separate, stricter supply-chain control, not part of the lock-to-major risk appetite.
• Context: Test discovery fails: pinned Pester 5.7.1 conflicts with installed Pester 5.8.0 #15, Remove pinned Pester RequiredVersion causing test discovery failure #16. The install side is locked to the same major in ⚙️ [Maintenance]: Lock Pester to the 6.x major version Invoke-Pester#70 (addresses Install the Pester version requested by the Version input Invoke-Pester#68). Part of the dependency-management epic Dependency management for PowerShell scripts and modules Process-PSModule#356.

Pull request overview

This PR reintroduces a #Requires -Modules directive in the test entrypoint to enforce a specific Pester dependency (version + GUID) for reproducible test execution.

Changes:

• Adds #Requires -Modules to tests/PSCustomObject.Tests.ps1 pinning Pester to 5.8.0 and a specific module GUID.
• Shifts the test file header so the #Requires directive is evaluated before any test code/attributes.
