- The SqlServer module version '21.1.18256' may not exist. This appears to be using a specific version number that should be verified for availability on PowerShell Gallery.

118-121: Conditional fixed — looks goodSwitching to
if: ${{ !inputs.skip_tests }}correctly handles the boolean input without string comparison.
8-13: Consider defaultingskip_teststo false to avoid silently skipping tests
With the current setting (default: true), any manualworkflow_dispatchrun will skip QA/unit tests unless the checkbox is explicitly unchecked—potentially hiding regressions. You can flip the default so tests run by default:- default: true + default: falsePlease confirm whether the intent is to always run tests during normal interactive (
workflow_dispatch) runs.CHANGELOG.md (1)
8-11: Changelog subsection added correctlyThe new “Added” block is in the right place and follows the Keep a Changelog convention.
Looks good to me.

40-41: Limit the execution-policy change to the current process
Persisting the policy toCurrentUserwidens the attack surface on an ephemeral runner. Use-Scope Processinstead (see earlier feedback).
51-52: Wildcard version forGitVersion.Tooljeopardises reproducibility
5.*may pull a different patch on every run, introducing subtle differences or breaking changes. Pin or cache the resolved version.

119-126: Boolean input check looks correct
Theif: ${{ inputs.skip_tests == false }}condition now directly compares the boolean value—nice fix.

37-39:Install-PSResourcewill still break on a fresh runnerThe earlier feedback about bootstrapping
Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGetbefore callingInstall-PSResourcehas not been addressed. Hosted Windows runners don’t have that module, so this step will throw “command not found” and terminate the job. Please insert the bootstrap snippet that installs/imports PSResourceGet first.
40-41: Use-Scope Processfor the execution-policy changePersisting a user-scope policy is unnecessary in an ephemeral CI runner. Change to
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Processto confine the change to the current session only.
51-55:dotnet-gitversionmay not be onPATHright after installationThe global-tool shim directory isn’t automatically added to
PATHin new PowerShell sessions on Windows. Invoke the tool viadotnet gitversionor prepend$env:USERPROFILE\.dotnet\toolstoPATHbefore calling it.
