Description

Replaced (Get-Date).ToUniversalTime().ToString('o') (duplicated UTC expression) in Markdown-Link-Check.ps1 with Get-StandardTimestamp from CIHelpers.psm1. The script already imports CIHelpers.psm1 at line 51, so no additional import was needed. This centralizes timestamp generation through the shared utility.

Added a Pester test that verifies the script source uses Get-StandardTimestamp and no longer contains the raw ToUniversalTime() expression.

Other:

  • Script/automation (.ps1, .sh, .py)
  • Other (please describe):

Testing

  • Verified (Get-Date).ToUniversalTime().ToString('o') replaced with Get-StandardTimestamp at line 322.
  • Added Pester test verifying the source code uses Get-StandardTimestamp and no ToUniversalTime expressions remain.
  • npm run lint:ps passed.

Checklist

Required Checks

  • Documentation is updated (if applicable) (N/A — no docs change needed)
  • Files follow existing naming conventions
  • Changes are backwards compatible (if applicable)

Required Automated Checks

The following validation commands must pass before merging:

  • Markdown linting: npm run lint:md

  • Frontmatter validation: npm run lint:frontmatter
  • Skill structure validation: npm run validate:skills
  • Link validation: npm run lint:md-links

Security Considerations

  • This PR does not contain any sensitive or NDA information
  • Any new dependencies have been reviewed for security issues (N/A — no dependency changes)
  • Security-related scripts follow the principle of least privilege (N/A — no privilege changes)

Additional Notes

This is part of the timestamp standardization series (issues #994-#1002). The prerequisite Get-StandardTimestamp function was merged in #993. CIHelpers.psm1 was already imported by this script, so the change is a direct expression swap with no import changes required.

… Get-StandardTimestamp

Replace (Get-Date).ToUniversalTime().ToString("o") with
Get-StandardTimestamp from CIHelpers.psm1 for centralized timestamp
management. Add Pester test verifying the standardized call.

PR Review Summary

This is a small, focused PR that correctly addresses issue #999. All checks pass — no blocking issues found.


✅ Issue Alignment

The changes directly implement what issue #999 requests:

  • scripts/linting/Markdown-Link-Check.ps1 line 322: (Get-Date).ToUniversalTime().ToString('o')Get-StandardTimestamp
  • CIHelpers.psm1 was already imported at line 51 — no additional import needed ✅
  • A Pester test was added to guard against regression ✅
  • No scope creep; all issue requirements covered ✅

✅ PR Template Compliance

Section Status
Description ✅ Clear and accurate
Related Issue Fixes #999
Type of Change ✅ Bug fix + Script/automation — both correct for .ps1 changes
AI Artifact section ✅ Correctly omitted (no AI artifact files changed)
Testing ✅ Describes manual verification + automated test results
Checklist ✅ All items addressed with appropriate N/A annotations
Security ✅ First item checked; others correctly marked N/A

✅ Coding Standards

Markdown-Link-Check.ps1 — follows powershell-script.instructions.md:

  • Single-expression substitution using the centralized shared utility ✅
  • Module already imported; no import changes required ✅

Markdown-Link-Check.Tests.ps1 — follows pester-testing.instructions.md:

  • New Context 'Timestamp standardization' added inside the existing Describe 'Invoke-MarkdownLinkCheck' -Tag 'Unit' block ✅
  • It name is descriptive and behavior-oriented ✅
  • Two assertions are complementary (positive existence check + negative absence check for the same behavioral property) — explicitly permitted by Pester conventions ✅
  • $PSScriptRoot used for path resolution, consistent with the mirror directory pattern ✅

💡 Informational note on test approach: The test inspects source code text rather than exercising runtime behavior. This is intentional and consistent with the timestamp-standardization series (#994#1002) — it functions as a regression guard to ensure the raw ToUniversalTime() expression is never reintroduced. No change requested; just noting the pattern for reviewer awareness.


✅ Code Quality and Security

  • Change is minimal and isolated to the timestamp expression ✅
  • Get-StandardTimestamp (from merged #993) produces the same ISO 8601 UTC format ✅
  • No security implications ✅
  • No breaking changes — callers receive the same timestamp format ✅
  • No performance concerns ✅

This PR meets initial quality standards. ✅
