Research direction
The issue names no repository files or tests; start by reviewing the linked PowerShell Gallery discussions and the existing MSI, GitHub release, and MCR publishing paths mentioned here. Define the supported modules, platforms, artifact format, and fallback behavior before implementation; done means an agreed, reliable mirror is available when PowerShell Gallery is unavailable.
