Summary

• add an HBV-HealthCheck module that inspects the host for PowerShell, networking, Defender, and git prerequisites
• wire the new health check into HBV-Core so orchestrations can emit readiness reports
• extend the README with guidance for running the health check tool

Testing

• pwsh -NoProfile -Command "[ScriptBlock]::Create((Get-Content -Raw -Path './HBV-HealthCheck.ps1')) | Out-Null" (fails: pwsh not available in container)

Guard clause rejects PowerShell 5.1 on Windows

The new module immediately throws when $IsWindows is falsey, but $IsWindows is only defined in PowerShell 6+. On the default Windows PowerShell 5.1 the variable is $null, so this check always throws and the health check cannot run on supported Windows hosts. Consider using [Environment]::OSVersion.Platform or Get-CimInstance Win32_OperatingSystem to detect non‑Windows systems instead of relying on $IsWindows.
