Fix 12 CI-specific test failures

Normalize 8.3 short paths vs long paths using Get-Item in path comparisons.
Capture Write-Error via -ErrorVariable instead of *>&1 for Pester 5.
Call private Get-ScriptConfig through module scope and create config.json from example in CI.
Handle empty command history on CI runners in recent-commands tests.
