#### Features

* Queries GitHub API for latest releases of pinned actions
* Checks pinned PowerShell modules (the `psModules` array in `tool-checksums.json`)
against the PowerShell Gallery OData v2 API using `Get-PSModuleStaleness`, and
reports stale modules alongside stale actions
* Honors `HVE_PSGALLERY_REPOSITORY` to query a PowerShell Gallery mirror or test
double instead of the public Gallery
* Supports multiple output formats (JSON, Azure DevOps, GitHub, console)
* Configurable maximum age threshold
* Batch GraphQL queries for efficient API usage
