Release Notes

## [0.11.0-preview0005] - 2026-06-16

### Added

- Added `Publish-ChocolateyPackage` public function wrapping `choco push` to publish `.nupkg` files to a Chocolatey-compatible feed, with support for `Source`, `ApiKey`, and standard common options.

### Changed

- Added repository Copilot setup and instructions covering cloud-agent bootstrap,
 `build.ps1` validation patterns, Public/Private test coupling, and PowerShell
 coding conventions.
- Clarified in Copilot instructions that the module is Windows-only while still
 requiring compatibility with Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7.
- Split Copilot guidance into targeted instruction files and added a local
 `validate-changes` skill plus class-export/type-accelerator guidance for
 `source\suffix.ps1`.
- Updated the bootstrap scripts and dependency configuration to the newer
 Sampler pattern with PSResourceGet support while keeping repo-specific
 compatibility.
- Changed the bootstrap defaults to prefer ModuleFast on PowerShell 7.2+
 while retaining PSResourceGet as the fallback on older PowerShell hosts.
- Updated the Copilot setup workflow to resolve the built module artifact
 dynamically and run on Windows so the built module can be imported during
 environment validation.
- Hardened Chocolatey delimited output parsing so licensed-extension
 compatibility output is surfaced as warnings or errors and is no longer
 treated as installed package data.
- Added regression coverage for the `ChocolateyPackage` DSC/class `Get()`
 path so licensed-extension compatibility warnings still resolve to an
 absent package state instead of breaking package discovery.
- Added `Install-ChocolateyLicense` to install or overwrite a Chocolatey
 license file from a source path or XML content.
- Added `Remove-ChocolateyLicense` to remove the Chocolatey license file and
 revert to unlicensed Chocolatey behavior.
- Added `Save-ChocolateyPackage` to wrap `choco download`, including licensed
 download, virus-scan, and internalization switches.
- Added PowerShell argument completer registrations for local Chocolatey package, pin, source,
 feature, and setting names across the module's wrapper commands.
- Aligned wiki generation with the explicit Sampler docs workflow so content
 from `source\WikiSource` is prepared and published to the GitHub wiki.
- Added a `Home.md` wiki landing page under `source\WikiSource`.
- Added a `LicensedChocolatey.md` wiki page covering license install, removal,
 and the licensed-extension compatibility warning.

### Fixed

- Fixed `Get-ChocolateyInstallPath` to honor a valid non-standard
 `ChocolateyInstall` path before falling back to the default install location.
- `Save-ChocolateyPackage` now throws when licensed-only download parameters are
 used without an installed Chocolatey license file.
- Fixing issue #105 where Uninstall-ChocolateySoftware fails.
- Making version parameter of `Update-ChocolateyPackage` not mandatory.
- Fixing issue #107 to allow for username field to be set on ChocolateySource
