Include all batteries-included modules in IdLE package

[Copilot]

Summary

IdLE package published to PowerShell Gallery only contained IdLE.Core and IdLE.Steps.Common. Users installing via Install-Module -Name IdLE received an incomplete package missing 6 additional modules documented in docs/use/installation.md.

Motivation

Package manifest hardcoded defaults to 2 of 8 modules. Users couldn't access provider and step modules without separate installations, contradicting documented behavior. Additionally, the original implementation would have auto-imported all modules, breaking the documented "non-blocking guarantee" for optional providers with external dependencies.

Type of Change

• Bug fix
• New feature
• Breaking change
• Documentation update
• Refactoring / internal improvement

Changes

• Added new $IncludeModuleNames parameter to tools/New-IdleModulePackage.ps1 to control which modules are physically copied into the package (defaults to all 8 batteries-included modules)
• Kept $NestedModuleNames parameter to control which modules are auto-imported when users run Import-Module IdLE (remains baseline 2 modules: IdLE.Core and IdLE.Steps.Common)
• Updated script logic to use $IncludeModuleNames for copying modules into package and $NestedModuleNames for updating manifest NestedModules array
• Updated .github/workflows/release.yml version validation to check all packaged modules
• Updated parameter documentation to clarify the distinction between package contents and auto-import behavior

This approach ensures all modules are available in the package for manual import (e.g., Import-Module IdLE.Provider.AD) while preserving the non-blocking guarantee that Import-Module IdLE succeeds without external dependencies.

Note: IdLE.Provider.Mock remains published separately for PowerShell Gallery discoverability.

Testing

• Unit tests
• Contract tests
• Manual testing

How to test & review

Build package locally and verify all 8 modules present:

./tools/New-IdleModulePackage.ps1 -Clean
Get-ChildItem ./artifacts/IdLE/Modules -Directory | Select-Object Name

Import and verify only baseline modules are auto-imported:

Import-Module ./artifacts/IdLE/IdLE.psd1
Get-Module | Where-Object { $_.Name -like 'IdLE*' }
# Should show only: IdLE, IdLE.Init

Verify optional modules can be manually imported:

Import-Module ./artifacts/IdLE/Modules/IdLE.Provider.AD/IdLE.Provider.AD.psd1
Get-Module IdLE.Provider.AD
# Should successfully import

Checklist

• Code follows STYLEGUIDE.md
• Tests added or updated
• Documentation updated
• No UI/auth logic added to IdLE.Core
• No breaking changes without discussion

Pull request overview

This pull request attempts to fix a bug where the IdLE package published to PowerShell Gallery only contained 2 of 8 documented modules. However, the implementation has a critical flaw that breaks the documented "batteries-included but not auto-imported" behavior for optional modules.

Changes:

• Updated tools/New-IdleModulePackage.ps1 to include 6 additional modules in the default package
• Updated .github/workflows/release.yml version validation to check all 8 packaged modules

Reviewed changes

Copilot reviewed 2 out of 2 changed files in this pull request and generated 1 comment.

File	Description
tools/New-IdleModulePackage.ps1	Added 6 modules to default $NestedModuleNames parameter, which causes them to be both included in the package AND auto-imported
.github/workflows/release.yml	Added 6 module manifests to version validation list (appropriate for ensuring version consistency)

I want to provide a package that has all submodules on board when users install by Install-Module -Name IdLE. But auto-import behavior should not change. They should be available for manual Import-Module -Name Idle.Provider.AD as an example, although this provider is not automatically imported when performing Import-Module.

Fixed in 608ff60 and 6276b29. The package now includes all 8 modules physically (can be installed via Install-Module -Name IdLE), but only the baseline modules (IdLE.Core, IdLE.Steps.Common) are auto-imported. Optional providers like IdLE.Provider.AD are available for manual Import-Module without breaking the non-blocking guarantee.
