# Description of the functionality provided by this module

Description = 'AzureScout — discover, inventory, and assess everything in your Azure environment from one command. Run Invoke-AzureScout with no parameters for a guided wizard, or drive it with switches: by default it inventories Azure resources, Entra ID, and identity objects (Excel, JSON, Markdown, AsciiDoc); add -Assessment and it runs a read-only CAF/WAF landing-zone assessment, scoring the tenant against Cloud Adoption Framework design areas and Well-Architected pillars and producing Power BI, self-contained HTML, executive PowerPoint, and JSON/Excel evidence. See everything. Own your cloud. (Requires PowerShell 7 on PowerShell Core.)'

# Minimum version of the PowerShell engine required by this module

# AzureScout requires PowerShell 7+. Declaring this here makes Import-Module reject

# Windows PowerShell 5.1 (Desktop) cleanly and immediately, instead of the module

# loading and later crashing deep inside a strict-mode-sensitive code path (e.g. the

# Entra/Graph permission audit — see Invoke-AZTIPermissionAudit.ps1).

        # ReleaseNotes of this module

        ReleaseNotes = 'v3.3.2 - Field fixes found by running against real customer tenants rather than fixtures. Az.Advisor could abort the Advisor sweep for an ENTIRE tenant and surface as a raw stack trace mid-run ("Expected { or [. Was String: The.") - a defect in Az.Advisor 3.0.0 meeting a plain-text Azure error, almost always Microsoft.Advisor not registered on that subscription. Scout cannot prevent it but now contains it: the try/catch is per subscription, each failure is named and translated, and a closing summary gives the Register-AzResourceProvider command that fixes it. A licence boundary is no longer reported as a permission denial: IdentityRiskyUser.Read.All reported DENIED on tenants that had already consented, but Identity Protection is an Entra ID P2 feature and without P2 the endpoint returns nothing however much consent it has - so the advice could never work, and since most tenants lack P2 the common case was being reported as an error. Scout now reads subscribedSkus and reports NOT LICENSED, naming the product; the affected collectors are still reported as Not assessed so the gap stays visible, and the check is three-state so a failed SKU lookup never softens a genuine denial. Recovery Services vaults are collected: management.recoveryVaults was hardcoded to an empty array, so no run in the product history ever reported a vault while backupProtectedItems returned rows - a child with no parent. Costs no extra Resource Graph round-trip because the vault lives in the ordinary resources table the raw pass already reads. A landing-zone audit now scores the landing zone: LandingZone declared caf.*, waf.* which swept in every workload rule set (AI, AVD, Azure Local, IoT, AVS), scoring 34 areas where the audit covers 14; the eight CAF design areas and five WAF pillars are enumerated and a new workload file cannot join by filename alone. Also: GovernanceReport was missing from -OutputFormat All so the CAF Govern maturity score never rendered on a default run; evidence truncation is now visible (a finding with 198 matches said 25 and looked identical to one with 26, rows now read "25 of 198 matched"); and the docs carry licence tiers plus both field errors. Known limitation: networking.subnets returns no rows - diagnosed, not shipped half-verified. v3.3.1 - Completes the two clauses v3.3.0 shipped as known limitations. Figures now embed in PowerPoint and PDF, not only Word: the deck places one figure per slide as a real picture part, and the PDF embeds them as image XObjects because PDF FlateDecode is zlib -- exactly what the rasteriser already produces -- so the raw pixels go in with no decode round trip, no JPEG and no new dependency, which retires the manual diagram.jpg drop-in as the only route. And the Power BI report pages now bind to the model: a visual container needs three serialised blobs (config, query and dataTransforms) and only config was written, so nothing told Power BI which field belonged in which well and it drew the frames empty, with no error anywhere in that path - the project was structurally valid and the visuals were simply unbound, which is why every file-shape assertion passed while the report was useless. All eleven visuals across the three pages now carry their query and field-well mapping. Verified by re-rendering all eight tenants offline from banked collect data: 29 artefacts each, 0 empty. v3.3.0 - Epic AB#6450: the reports become deliverables. Every report Scout produced was unfit to put in front of an executive, and 103 report work items on this board were already Closed - every one accepted on the existence of a file, none carrying an acceptance criterion naming a required section or a reader. This release fixes the output and the reason it stayed broken. docs/design/report-conformance.md is now normative with 40 numbered clauses, and tests/Report.Conformance.Tests.ps1 asserts every automatic clause against an emitted package read back off disk, so a renderer item can no longer close on the existence of a file. Word: the generated .docx contained three package parts and 0 of 1,803 paragraphs carried a style, which explains the missing navigation pane, the impossible table of contents, the absent cross-references and the un-rebrandable output all at once. It now carries real styles, chapter numbering, a theme, a header and footer with PAGE and NUMPAGES as real fields, a TOC field, a cover naming client and scan date and classification, a Document Information block stating provenance, chapters shaped scorecard then current state then findings then action items, and long tables deferred to an appendix. Figures are rasterised to PNG in managed code and embedded as image parts - the diagram pipeline previously emitted draw.io XML only, so no document could embed a figure at all; AzViz, Graphviz, D2, a headless browser and ImageMagick were each rejected because a report that silently loses its figures when a native binary is missing is worse than one that never promised them. Power BI output is now a PBIP project with a TMDL semantic model, four real relationships, eleven DAX measures, a date dimension and authored report pages, replacing four flat CSVs and a template whose authored layout was 2,190 bytes. The deck states what was not assessed and carries exactly one act-on-this-first slide naming a specific item, bounded at fifteen slides. The workbook gains a cover with per-tab record counts, the full ARM resource id on every evidence row, and a triage verdict seeded for review rather than guessed. Not assessed is honoured throughout: excluded from the compliance denominator, given its own scorecard column and figure segment, never rendered as a zero or a pass. Two defects that only a real multi-tenant run could surface are fixed: Export-Excel shared a name with the cmdlet exported by ImportExcel - which that renderer imports - so ImportExcel shadowed it and every per-assessment workbook silently failed, and Get-ScoutExcelProp threw on evidence rows that are not property bags. Both were live while the unit suite was green. KNOWN LIMITATION: the Power BI report pages render as placeholders - the model loads and the pages exist, but the visuals do not yet bind to it, so clause B-05 is not met and is not claimed. See CHANGELOG.md for the full history.'
