Decision 8: Commit the generated help file and check it in CI

  • Choice: NTFSSecurity\en-US\NTFSSecurity.dll-Help.xml is generated from Docs/Cmdlets with New-ExternalHelp (platyPS 0.14.2, Windows PowerShell 5.1) and committed. NTFSSecurity.csproj copies it to the output as Content, the manifest FileList lists it, and the CI workflow (.github/workflows/ci.yml) regenerates it and fails on git status --porcelain -- NTFSSecurity/en-US.
  • Rationale: Releases are built locally in Visual Studio (Debug, written to C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\NTFSSecurity) and published by hand with Publish-Module. A committed file ships with every build and needs no tool on the build machine. Generating it in an MSBuild step would need platyPS on every build machine, or would silently ship without help when platyPS is missing.
  • Consequence: every change to Docs/Cmdlets must be followed by New-ExternalHelp -Path .\Docs\Cmdlets -OutputPath .\NTFSSecurity\en-US -Force. The output is deterministic (byte-identical between runs), so the CI check is exact.
  • Rejected: an MSBuild AfterBuild target that runs platyPS.
