Large Scriban pages can currently stop partway through the HTML without failing the build. The ConsoleMonster gallery exposed this through a missing final card and an SEO orphan. I raise the string and cumulative output budgets to 32 Mi characters and throw when either budget is exhausted, so the build produces a complete page or a clear failure.

Generated packaged and development loaders currently create a second assembly context when the same module is imported through a symlink or directory junction. PowerShell then rejects its duplicate cmdlet types. I resolve module paths through the actual file handle on Windows and realpath on Unix before choosing a context. Aliases share a context, grouped exports deduplicate aliases, and separate module copies remain isolated. Windows uses the opened handle path to preserve imports from readable SMB paths with restricted parent directories. Desktop PowerShell 5.1 loading is unchanged; the development loader retains its PowerShell 7 / .NET Core 3.1 API floor.

The two fixes are separate commits, with their tests and documentation. No dependency is added.

Validation on macOS:

  • Both loader variants reproduce the duplicate-cmdlet error before the fix; the three new renderer tests also fail on the original behavior. All six focused tests pass afterward.
  • PowerForge builds for net472, net8 and net10, and PowerForge.Web.Cli and PowerForge.Web net8 builds, with zero warnings.
  • Broader Scriban/theme/loader selection: 180 pass, six fail. All six failures reproduce identically on unchanged base 0cac214a1: three editorial-navigation assertions, a .NET 10 fixture imported by this Mac’s .NET 9 PowerShell, and two direct script-artefact loader assertions. These are disclosed baseline failures, not a green full-suite claim.
  • The real ConsoleMonster calendar gallery builds to complete HTML with all 29 demo links, the final worker-progress card and footer. I inspected the final cards and footer in the browser. Both feature website candidate pipelines also pass capture freshness, SEO and audits. Their engine-lock check is excluded until the merged commit is available; the locks move separately.

CI is green at 9ae7a2318: eight checks passed and two opt-in checks were skipped. The Windows generated-module loading suite passes all 94 tests, including the new junction-alias imports; Linux and macOS CI also pass. Restricted-parent SMB access and PowerShell 7.0/.NET Core 3.1 execution have not been directly observed on this Mac. Consumers of generated module loaders receive the change when they regenerate with a released PSPublishModule build.

Walkthrough

The changes add physical-path identity handling to generated module loaders and enforce 32 Mi-character string and output limits in Scriban rendering. New tests cover module imports through path aliases, separate module copies, nested rendering, and limit exhaustion. Documentation describes both behaviors.

Changes: Module path identity

Layer / File(s) Summary
Physical path resolution
PowerForge/Services/ModuleBootstrapperGenerator.ModulePathIdentitySource.cs
Generated source adds platform-specific path comparison and resolves existing module paths to physical paths.
Loader integration and validation
PowerForge/Services/ModuleBootstrapperGenerator.AssemblyLoadContextSource.cs, PowerForge/Services/ModuleBootstrapperGenerator.Development.cs, PowerForge.Tests/ModuleBootstrapperGeneratorPathIdentityTests.cs, Docs/PSPublishModule.DevelopmentBootstrapper.md
Generated loaders use resolved paths for context and assembly identity checks. Tests cover alias imports and separate copies. Documentation describes alias and context behavior.

Scriban render limits

Layer / File(s) Summary
Render limits and validation
PowerForge.Web/Services/ScribanTemplateEngine.cs, PowerForge.Tests/ScribanTemplateEngineTests.cs, Docs/PowerForge.Web.Theme.md
The template engine applies 32 Mi-character limits to string conversions and output, and throws when either limit is exceeded. Tests and documentation cover nested rendering and limit exhaustion.

The changes are mergeable after normal checks. The suggested test improvements would better protect the new rendering limits against regressions.

Explanation

The title names two changes in the PR: keeping large Scriban pages complete by raising the output budget and failing builds on exhaustion, and reusing module assembly contexts through physical-path aliases such as symlinks and junctions. Both are present in the summaries and objectives. The title is specific and readable, so it passes the title check.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 10.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 10 functions across 6 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Make the gallery test exceed Scriban’s former output limit.

The current fixture renders 802,344 characters, below Scriban 7.5.1’s 1,048,576-character default. Increase both body sizes to 30,000 characters so the test renders 1,202,344 characters.

Suggested test update
-            ["body"] = new string('x', 20_000),
+            ["body"] = new string('x', 30_000),
...
-            "<article><pre>" + new string('x', 20_000) + "</pre><a href='/demo-" + index + "/'>Demo</a></article>"))
+            "<article><pre>" + new string('x', 30_000) + "</pre><a href='/demo-" + index + "/'>Demo</a></article>"))

Assert that the string limit caused the exception.

With OnStringLimit = Truncate, Scriban appends ... to the 32 MiB string. The <main> wrapper then exceeds the cumulative OutputLimit, so OnOutputLimit = Throw raises the same exception type. The current test can therefore pass without testing LimitToString.

Suggested fix
-        Assert.Throws<Scriban.Syntax.ScriptRuntimeException>(() =>
+        var error = Assert.Throws<Scriban.Syntax.ScriptRuntimeException>(() =>
             new ScribanTemplateEngine().Render("<main>{{ content }}</main>", context, _ => null));
+        Assert.Contains("LimitToString", error.Message, StringComparison.Ordinal);

49 - 50:
Update the exception assertion in the test to capture the thrown
ScriptRuntimeException and verify its message identifies LimitToString, so the
test confirms the string limit caused the failure rather than the cumulative
output limit.
