Description
Summary of the new feature
Windows admins using Code Integrity may want to know if their scripts require full language mode or will work with constrained language mode. It would be helpful to have PSSA rule to let them know which parts of their scripts won't work under constrained language mode.
Addtionally, scripts running in a Code Integrity environment have some additional checks which may make sense to have as rules as well.
