powershell/PSAvoidUsingDeprecatedManifestFields is a PSScriptAnalyzer diagnostic emitted by tally for PowerShell snippets embedded in Dockerfiles.
tally disables this rule by default because Dockerfiles do not ship PowerShell module manifests (.psd1 files) — this rule targets module-authoring artifacts that are out of scope for container builds. Re-enable it with include = ["powershell/PSAvoidUsingDeprecatedManifestFields"] or by setting rules.powershell.PSAvoidUsingDeprecatedManifestFields.severity = "warning" in .tally.toml.

​
Description
