Cannot import PSScriptAnalyzer 1.24.0 with PowerShell 7.4.5 or earlier

Cannot import PSScriptAnalyzer 1.24.0 with PowerShell 7.4.5 or earlier on Linux*. Attempting to do so fails with the following error:

Import-Module: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Management.Automation, Version=7.4.6.500, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'. The system cannot find the file specified.

* Update: removed "on linux" since we now know this issue will occur on all platforms.

• PSScriptAnalyzer 1.23.0 works as expected.
• PowerShell 7.4.6+ works as expected.
  • Reproduced with 7.4.1, 7.4.2, 7.4.5.
  • Did not try with earlier versions.
• Did not try on Windows, although it does work okay with PS 7.5.1.

Steps to reproduce

Easiest way to repro is probably via a linux container with PowerShell installed:

$cmds = @(
  'Install-Module PSScriptAnalyzer -RequiredVersion 1.24.0 -Force'
  'Import-Module PSScriptAnalyzer -PassThru'
  '$Error[0] | select *'
) -join '; '
docker run -it --rm demisto/powershell-ubuntu:7.4.5.112371 pwsh -c $cmds

In this example I am using demisto/powershell-ubuntu:7.4.5.112371 but I was also able to repeat using an older .NET SDK container (mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:8.0.302-bookworm-slim-arm64v8) containing PowerShell v7.4.2.

Reproduzca el fallo con el comando de Docker proporcionado de PowerShell 7.4.5 y compárelo con PowerShell 7.4.6+ y PSScriptAnalyzer 1.23.0. Empiece en la línea 34 de PSScriptAnalyzer.psm1 e inspeccione la ruta de carga del módulo alrededor de la referencia al ensamblado System.Management.Automation. Se considera terminado cuando PSScriptAnalyzer 1.24.0 se importa correctamente en las versiones de PowerShell afectadas y exporta los comandos esperados.
