One behaviour change to know about before upgrading, eight new update steps,

and the fixes that shipped on GitHub as 1.3.1.

## -UpdateSelf now updates only this module

The switch is a shortcut for "Install-Module UpdateEverything -Force" (or the

Main installer with -UpdateSelfSource Main): it updates the module and runs

nothing else. -Tag and -ExcludeTag are ignored for that run, and no elevation

is requested, because a CurrentUser install needs none.

In 1.3.0 the switch meant "also update the module during a full run". A

scheduled task passing -UpdateSelf gets only the self-update after this

upgrade -- give it a second task, or drop the switch, if it should keep doing

both.

## Eight new steps

Deno, Bun and pnpm join npm under the Node tag, each behind the same

ownership check as uv, so a copy a package manager installed is left to that

manager. cargo binaries runs "cargo install-update --all" where the

cargo-update crate is present, and Go binaries runs "gup update" -- both skip

naming the missing prerequisite rather than installing it. The Azure and

Google Cloud CLIs arrive under a new Cloud tag, so "-ExcludeTag Cloud" drops

the pair on a metered or offline machine. conda updates conda itself in the

base environment; environment packages are left alone for the same reason

pip''s are.

The tag set gains Go and Cloud, and the inventory covers 24 tools.

## The 1.3.1 fixes, new to the gallery

When a tool is installed twice, the warning now names the copy PATH actually

resolves rather than the alphabetically first one. The Python step reports

the classic py launcher as Skipped instead of Failed on machines without the

Install Manager. A winget package listed for the first time during a run is

reported as newly listed, not as permanently blocked. And a documentation

pass held every README and help claim against the code, restoring the

verbatim tool messages people grep for.
