The CI help test failed because Invoke-Formatter exposes -Confirm and -WhatIf without documenting them.

  • Syntax: List both parameters in each syntax form.
  • Parameter help: Add descriptions and metadata for -Confirm and -WhatIf.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Uh oh!

🔵 Needs a closer look

The confirmation parameter descriptions need to distinguish suppressing file writes from running formatting and returning output.
