Adding a New Year

When a new summit schedule is published on sched.com:

1. Run Update-SummitData to scrape and generate the JSON:

   Import-Module ./PwShSummit
   Update-SummitData -Year 2027

2. Verify the data:

   Get-SummitSchedule -Year 2027 | Measure-Object
   Get-SummitSchedule -Year 2027 | Select-Object -First 5
   Get-SummitSession -Title "Keynote" -Year 2027

3. Update the -Category ValidateSet in Public/Get-SummitSchedule.ps1 if categories changed.
4. Bump the version in PwShSummit.psd1 and add release notes.
5. Commit Data/2027.json and the manifest changes, tag a release.

How It Works

Schedule data is pre-scraped from pshsummit{YEAR}.sched.com and stored as JSON files in the Data/ folder. At runtime the module reads these files directly -- no network calls, no Cloudflare issues, instant results.
