Release Notes

Execution v5.3.1+sha.2eac4d5

## [v5.3.1] - 2026-05-08

### Fixed

- `ConvertTo-SplatHashtable`: tolerates `$null` for the `-Arguments`
 parameter instead of raising
 `PropertyNotFoundException` ("the property 'Count' cannot be found
 on this object") under the module's
 `Set-StrictMode -Version Latest`. The failure mode showed up when
 a caller forwarded an unbound `ValueFromRemainingArguments`
 variable straight through (`ConvertTo-SplatHashtable $PassThrough`)
 and the wrapper had been invoked without extra args. On Windows
 PowerShell 5.1 the inner `$PassThrough` is `$null` for that case
 (PS 7+ produces `@()`), so only the 5.1 form crashed; the
 exception then surfaced as a confusing follow-up failure in an
 unrelated `catch` clause. `[AllowNull()] [AllowEmptyCollection()]`
 added to the parameter, plus an explicit `$null` early return
 before the for-loop touches `.Count`. Behaviour for non-`$null`
 inputs is unchanged.
