Research direction
Start with the linked AvoidUsingPositionalParameters rule description and reproduce the reported Write-Host command in the stated PowerShell 1.21.0 environment. Determine why this simple command is flagged despite the documented three-parameter threshold; done means the command is no longer incorrectly reported while the rule still handles its intended cases.
