SPSCleanDependencies - Release Notes

[1.4.0] - 2026-07-09

Results history — the audit no longer overwrites its output blindly. Before each run the current Results\<FileName>.json is archived into Results\history\ with a yyyyMMdd-HHmm timestamp:
- Backup-SPSJsonFile (public) creates the timestamped copy.
- Clear-SPSLogFolder (public) is the single retention/rotation implementation, reused for both transcript logs (*.log) and archived snapshots (*.json). Retention = 0 disables pruning.
HTML report — Export-SPSCleanDependenciesReport (public) renders the results JSON as a self-contained, dependency-free HTML file: one summary card per dependency category plus a filterable/sortable table per non-empty category, or a clean "nothing to clean" state. Backed by internal helpers ConvertTo-SPSHtmlEncoded, Get-SPSReportHtmlHead, Get-SPSReportCardHtml, Get-SPSReportHtmlScript (pattern from SPSUpdate.Common).
Entry script — the audit run now archives the previous results, writes Results\<FileName>.html, and prunes old history/logs. The current Results\<FileName>.json stays stable (still the exact input consumed by -Clean); only the history copies are timestamped. New -HistoryRetentionDays (default 30) and -LogRetentionDays (default 180) parameters control retention; 0 disables pruning.
Pester coverage for the new functions and the audit-branch wiring.
