⚙️ [Maintenance]: Lock Pester test dependency to the 6.x major version

[Marius Storhaug (MariusStorhaug)]

This module's Pester tests now lock to the 6.x major version instead of the exact 5.8.0 pin. An exact pin breaks whenever the runner resolves a different Pester (as happened once 5.8.0 was superseded); a major lock tracks every 6.x release while still blocking an unvetted new major.

Changed: the exact 5.8.0 pin becomes a 6.x major lock

Each *.Tests.ps1 file now requires:

#Requires -Modules @{ ModuleName = 'Pester'; ModuleVersion = '6.0.0'; MaximumVersion = '6.*' }

Any Pester 6.x satisfies it, so routine minor and patch updates no longer need a PR — only a new major does.

Technical Details

• Updates the #Requires -Modules statement in each test file under tests/ from RequiredVersion = '5.8.0' to ModuleVersion = '6.0.0'; MaximumVersion = '6.*'.
• Module-identity (GUID) pinning is intentionally omitted — a separate supply-chain control, not part of the lock-to-major risk appetite.
• The install side is locked to the same major in ⚙️ [Maintenance]: Lock Pester to the 6.x major version Invoke-Pester#70. Part of the dependency-management epic Dependency management for PowerShell scripts and modules Process-PSModule#356.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the test suite’s Pester dependency declaration to allow any Pester 6.x release (rather than pinning to 5.8.0), aligning the tests with the newly published Pester 6 major version while still pinning the module identity via GUID.

Changes:

• Replaced RequiredVersion = '5.8.0' with a 6.x range lock using ModuleVersion = '6.0.0' and MaximumVersion = '6.999.999'.
• Applied the updated #Requires -Modules declaration consistently across all test files, including tests/TEMPLATE.ps1.
