fix(scripts): standardize timestamp in FrontmatterValidation.psm1 to use Get-StandardTimestamp#1285
Conversation
…use Get-StandardTimestamp - Change ValidatedAt from [datetime] to [string] using Get-StandardTimestamp - Replace [datetime]::UtcNow with (Get-Date).ToUniversalTime() for StartedAt and CompletedAt to preserve Duration arithmetic - Add Timestamp field to ToHashtable() for JSON output consistency - Import CIHelpers.psm1 for Get-StandardTimestamp access - Update Pester tests for new string type and Timestamp field Fixes #1001

Review Summary
This PR correctly addresses issue #1001 — the implementation is well-reasoned, the approach to preserving [datetime] typing for StartedAt/CompletedAt (required for Duration arithmetic) while using Get-StandardTimestamp for the string-typed ValidatedAt is sound, and the test updates are thorough. One naming consistency issue found.
Issue Alignment ✅
The PR directly and completely addresses issue #1001:
- All three
[datetime]::UtcNowusages are replaced. CIHelpers.psm1is imported.ValidatedAttype changed from[datetime]to[string].Timestampfield added toToHashtable().- Pester tests updated for the new string format.
PR Template Compliance ✅
- Description is clear and specific.
Fixes #1001is present.- "Bug fix" and "Script/automation" checkboxes are correctly checked.
- Testing section is detailed.
- Checklist items are appropriately checked.
Coding Standards ✅ (one minor finding)
See inline comment on FrontmatterValidation.psm1 line 197.
Code Quality ✅
- The
Import-Moduleat module scope follows the established pattern from other.psm1files in the repo. - Using
(Get-Date).ToUniversalTime()forStartedAt/CompletedAtpreserves the[datetime]type required for$this.Duration = $this.CompletedAt - $this.StartedAtarithmetic — correct design decision. Get-StandardTimestampreturns(Get-Date).ToUniversalTime().ToString('o')which matches the regex assertion^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}\.\d+Z$in the tests — format validation is accurate.- No security concerns.
Action Required
One change needed (inline comment above):
- Rename
Timestamp→timestampinToHashtable()(line 197 ofFrontmatterValidation.psm1) and update the matching test assertions inFrontmatterValidation.Tests.ps1(lines 355–356) to keep JSON key casing consistent with all other keys in the hashtable.
…ency Rename the ToHashtable() key from PascalCase 'Timestamp' to camelCase 'timestamp' to match all other keys in the hashtable (totalFiles, filesWithErrors, filesWithWarnings, etc.). Update Pester assertions.
…nflict - Remove -Force flag from Import-Module CIHelpers in FrontmatterValidation.psm1 - Fixes 7 test failures in Validate-MarkdownFrontmatter.Tests.ps1 where Write-CIAnnotations, Test-CIEnvironment, and Set-CIEnv became unresolvable 🐛 - Generated by Copilot

Additional Notes
This is the most complex issue in the timestamp standardization series (#994-#1002) because
FrontmatterValidation.psm1uses[datetime]typed class properties for arithmetic (Duration computation). The fix preserves[datetime]typing forStartedAt/CompletedAtto maintain Duration arithmetic, while changingValidatedAtto a[string]type withGet-StandardTimestamp. ATimestampfield was added toToHashtable()to ensure JSON output includes a standardized UTC timestamp consistent with all other lint result files.The prerequisite
Get-StandardTimestampfunction was merged in #993.
