Subject: [PATCH 1/5] refactor(scripts): standardize entry point guard pattern

- Add Invoke-* orchestration functions to all scripts
- Apply guard pattern: $MyInvocation.InvocationName -ne '.'
- Document pattern in scripts/README.md
- Simplify test dot-sourcing (removes AST workaround)
- Scripts: 12 files updated across security, linting, extension

+## Script Entry Point Pattern
+
+All PowerShell scripts designed for both direct invocation and dot-sourcing (for testing) follow this pattern:
+
+### Pattern Structure
+
+1. **Script Parameters**: CmdletBinding and param block at top
+2. **Helper Functions**: Pure functions for individual operations
+3. **Invoke-* Function**: Main orchestration function
+4. **Guard Pattern**: Entry point that only executes on direct invocation
+
+### Example
+
+```powershell
+[CmdletBinding()]
+param([string]$InputPath)
+
+function Get-Data { ... }
+
+function Invoke-MyOperation {
+    param([string]$InputPath)
+    # Main orchestration logic
+}
+
+#region Main Execution
+try {
+    if ($MyInvocation.InvocationName -ne '.') {
+        Invoke-MyOperation -InputPath $InputPath
+        exit 0
+    }
+}
+catch {
+    Write-Error "Operation failed: $($_.Exception.Message)"
+    exit 1
+}
+#endregion
+```
+
+### Benefits
+
+* **Testability**: Dot-source to access functions without executing main logic
+* **Reusability**: Import functions into other scripts
+* **Consistency**: Predictable behavior across all scripts
+
+### Naming Convention
+
+| Script Name | Invoke Function |
+|-------------|-----------------|
+| `Generate-*.ps1` | `Invoke-*Generation` |
+| `Test-*.ps1` | `Invoke-*Test` |
+| `Package-*.ps1` | `Invoke-*Packaging` |
+| `Prepare-*.ps1` | `Invoke-*Preparation` |
+| `Update-*.ps1` | `Invoke-*Update` |

Subject: [PATCH 3/5] test(scripts): add P1-P2 coverage tests

Add comprehensive test coverage improvements:

P1 - Entry point tests:
- Update-ActionSHAPinning: Invoke-ActionSHAUpdate tests
- Markdown-Link-Check: Invoke-MarkdownLinkCheck tests

P2 - Error path and boundary tests:
- Package-Extension: null manifest, empty hashtable, edge cases
- Prepare-Extension: malformed YAML, missing frontmatter handling
- Test-DependencyPinning: empty inputs, SHA format validation
- Test-SHAStaleness: version comparison edge cases, token validation
- Link-Lang-Check: fix flaky test

Coverage: 36.17% -> 53.71% (+17.54pp)
Tests: 742 -> 766 (+24 tests, 760 passing)

Subject: [PATCH 4/5] test: Add extended coverage tests for scripts

Add comprehensive tests for:
- Package-Extension.ps1: version validation, parameter handling
- Prepare-Extension.ps1: frontmatter parsing, discovery functions
- Invoke-LinkLanguageCheck.ps1: wrapper function, output handling
- Markdown-Link-Check.ps1: extended path handling, CLI scenarios

Fix zero-coverage issue in 4 test files by replacing AST parsing
with direct dot-sourcing for proper coverage tracking.

Coverage improvement: 53.71% -> 63.98% (+10.27pp)
