Text Cmdlet Improvements, Console Naming & MarkdownPointer Hint

Text file cmdlets get improved parameters, console display is unified, and a new one-time hint promotes the MarkdownPointer module.

✨ New Feature

One-Time MarkdownPointer Module Hint

  • When invoke_expression output contains .md file references, a hint message is appended to the response (Windows only)
  • The hint is shown once per session to avoid being noisy
  • MarkdownPointer — Vibe editing for Markdown with Mermaid/KaTeX support and MCP server integration
  • Message varies based on installation status:
    • Installed: Suggests using mdp .\README.md to render and preview, mentions MCP server integration
    • Not installed: Suggests Install-Module MarkdownPointer and Get-Command -Module MarkdownPointer to explore commands after installation

🔧 Improvements

Text File Cmdlet Enhancements

  • LineRange parameter changed from int[] to string — now supports both dash ('10-20') and comma ('10,20') formats across Show-TextFiles, Update-MatchInFile, Update-LinesInFile, and Remove-LinesFromFile
  • Update-MatchInFile: added -Contains as alias for -OldText to match Show-TextFiles naming convention

Unified Console Display Name

  • All console references now use consistent PID #xxx Title format (e.g., PID #12345 Phoenix)
  • Previously mixed formats: PID#xxx, pwsh PID: xxx, Console PID xxx
  • Closed consoles retain their friendly name in status messages

📊 What's Changed Since v1.7.2

  • ✨ One-time MarkdownPointer module hint when .md files detected in output (Windows only)
  • 🔧 LineRange parameter: int[] → string, supports '10-20' and '10,20' formats
  • 🔧 Update-MatchInFile: -Contains alias for -OldText
  • 🔧 Unified console naming to PID #xxx Title format
