Consider build-time warnings for dependency policy and outdated modules #417

Description

Context

When building modules in this repository, we should consider warning users/maintainers when dependencies appear risky or stale.

Areas to evaluate

  1. Poorly written dependency rules
    • Example concern: version constraints that are too strict or otherwise brittle.
    • Should we prefer locking to major versions as a safer default strategy?
  2. Outdated modules
    • Warn when a dependency is clearly out of date.
    • Define what "outdated" means (latest stable? outside supported window?).

Questions to decide

  • Where in the build pipeline should warnings be emitted?
  • What rules are warning-only vs. blocking?
  • How configurable should this be (repo defaults vs. per-module overrides)?
  • What should warning messages include to be actionable?

Suggested outcome

  • Agreed warning policy and heuristics for dependency constraints and outdated modules.
  • Implementation plan for Process-PSModule (and any shared logic if needed).
