🚜 [refactor] Make directory creation testable and harden startup/redirection logic

 - Add $script:CreateDirectoryDelegate and replace direct New-Item calls with the delegate to allow deterministic, testable directory creation
 - Harden console-redirection detection: Test-ColorScriptTextEmission now safely queries [Console]::IsOutputRedirected (try/catch) and uses that state for PassThru/pipeline decisions
 - Rework Invoke-ColorScriptsStartup to evaluate auto-show override, handle Test-ConsoleOutputRedirected failures safely, skip startup in CI/ServerRemoteHost when appropriate, and emit a verbose message when an override is suppressed due to redirection

🧪 [test] Update tests and stubs to support new delegates and silence unused-parameter diagnostics
 - Expand C# StubHost/RawUI expression-bodied members to explicit getters/setters and full method bodies for compatibility and coverage stability
 - Add explicit [void] casts to mocked parameters/locals and updated Mock blocks to consume args (silence unused warnings and make intent explicit)
 - Introduce tests that set/reset $script:CreateDirectoryDelegate and simulate delegate failure, restoring the original delegate in finally blocks

🧹 [chore] Normalize CI/dependabot YAML formatting
 - Fix indentation/formatting in .github/dependabot.yml and .github/workflows/publish.yml for consistent YAML style (no behavior changes)

🔧 [build] Tighten test coverage policy and refine reporting verbosity
 - Increase scripts/Test-Coverage.ps1 default MinimumCoverage from 70 to 95 to enforce higher coverage
 - Expand/standardize Show verbosity ValidateSet (add Minimal/Detailed) and refine mapping to Pester output verbosity

📝 [docs] Bump module and help manifest versions
 - Update ModuleVersion and ReleaseNotes header in ColorScripts-Enhanced.psd1 and UICultureVersion in HelpInfo.xml to 2025.10.29.1629
