Invoke-TestsAsBasicUser.ps1 derives a token of the SAFER level Normal User
from the token of the runner, as runas /trustlevel:0x20000 does, and runs
Invoke-Tests.ps1 with it in the same edition. The tests that skip in the
elevated session of the runner, because they need a session without the
privileges of an administrator, now run in CI as well. The contributor
page explains how to run the script locally.

Resolves the review of this branch (one Major, three Minor findings):
- Major: a Dependabot pull request runs the action versions it proposes
before anyone reviews them, and the wiki job of that run held
contents: write. The wiki job is now read-only and only previews the
changed pages; the new publish-wiki job, the only one besides release
with write access, publishes for master alone, after a merge.
dependabot.yml waits 7 days (cooldown) before it proposes a release.
- Minor: Repository.Tests.ps1 asserts that it found the 3 packages.config
files, checks version 2 and the directory, accepts either quote style,
and checks that the "*" pattern sits under groups (11 tests; the
cooldown test failed before the change).
Memory Bank: Decision 11 and techContext.md describe the two wiki jobs.

Pushing a tag such as 5.0.0 or 5.0.0-rc1 on master now publishes the
package that the build job built and tested to the PowerShell Gallery
and creates the GitHub release with NTFSSecurity.zip.
- New-ModulePackage.ps1 copies only the FileList files of the Release
build, so no debug symbols, XML documentation, or copy of
System.Management.Automation.dll ship. It builds the nupkg with
Compress-PSResource and adds the command tags (PSIncludes_Cmdlet,
PSCmdlet_*, PSCommand_*) that PSResourceGet leaves out and that the
Gallery uses to list cmdlets and that Find-Command searches. Every CI
run builds and uploads the packages.
- Get-ReleaseInfo.ps1 returns the version and release notes: a dated
CHANGELOG section for a release, the [Unreleased] section for a
prerelease.
- The release job checks that the tag matches the manifest version and
points to a commit on master, reads the API key from the environment
powershell-gallery, and skips steps already done, so a rerun is safe.
- The manifest gets the prerelease label rc1 and a release notes link;
the 5.0.0 changelog entries move back to [Unreleased] until the final
release.
- Tests/Release.Tests.ps1 covers both scripts and the packages; the
changelog check moves there from Manifest.Tests.ps1.
- Docs/Contributing/05-Releasing.md describes the one-time setup and the
release steps; Docs/README.md explains -AllowPrerelease.

.github/workflows/ci.yml replaces appveyor.yml and runs on pull requests
and pushes to master:
- build (windows-2025): the same restore, Release build, and documentation
checks as before, then the Pester tests in Windows PowerShell 5.1 and in
PowerShell 7. .github/scripts/Invoke-Tests.ps1 writes the counts and
the failed tests to the job summary and the NUnit file to the
test-results artifact, and also fails on test files that fail.
- wiki (ubuntu-latest): generates the wiki from Docs; on pull requests it
lists the pages that would change, from master it publishes them with
the built-in token. Only this job has contents: write.
Actions are pinned by commit SHA. Every native command checks its exit
code, because GitHub checks only the last one. The contributor guide
describes the workflow and the wiki.
