Description

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

Have configuration for minor version updates vs patch version updates (maybe even have patch version updates as enabled by default to get security updates?). Perhaps have a filter for which modules the user wants to auto-update.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Will need a way to integrate with PS7 for the check and update instead of relying on module import time as that may happen too infrequently.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by reviewing how PSResourceGet currently handles module import time and how PS7 can trigger checks and updates; clarify version-selection rules and module filters before implementation. Done should include agreed minor-versus-patch behavior and a defined PS7 update path.
