+# Build-MaesterModule
+
+Builds the Maester PowerShell module into a consolidated, publishable artifact
+under `./module/`. The source tree (`powershell/`, `tests/`) is never modified.
+
+## Usage
+
+```powershell
+# Standard build
+./build/Build-MaesterModule.ps1
+
+# Build with indentation normalization (requires PSScriptAnalyzer)
+./build/Build-MaesterModule.ps1 -Format
+
+# Build with import-time profiling
+./build/Build-MaesterModule.ps1 -Profile
+
+# Custom output location
+./build/Build-MaesterModule.ps1 -OutputRoot ./out
+```
+
+## Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
+| ----------- | ------ | --------- | ------------- |
+| `SourceRoot` | string | `../powershell` | Path to the module source directory |
+| `TestsRoot` | string | `../tests` | Path to the test suites directory |
+| `OutputRoot` | string | `../module` | Output directory (cleaned on every run) |
+| `Format` | switch | — | Normalize indentation to 4 spaces via `Invoke-Formatter` (requires PSScriptAnalyzer) |
+| `Profile` | switch | — | Measure and report `Import-Module` time |

+
+### Phase A — Clean output directory
+
+Removes and recreates the output directory (`./module/` by default) to ensure a
+clean build with no stale artifacts.
+
+### Phase B — AST-parse public functions
+
+Scans every `.ps1` file under `powershell/public/` (excluding `*.Tests.ps1`)
+using the PowerShell AST parser to discover top-level function definitions.
+
+- Only functions matching the `Verb-Noun` naming convention are exported.
+- Helper functions without a `-` separator are logged and skipped.
+- Duplicate function names across files are deduplicated and logged.
+- Functions with unapproved verbs or mismatched filenames generate warnings.
+
+### Phase C — Consolidate Maester.psm1
+
+Concatenates all internal and public `.ps1` source files into a single
+`Maester.psm1`, organized as:
+
+1. **Module preamble** — `#Requires`, `$__MtSession` initialization
+2. **Internal functions** — from `powershell/internal/` (excluding
+   `check-ORCA*.ps1`, which go to Phase D)
+3. **Public functions** — from `powershell/public/`
+4. **Export-ModuleMember** — auto-generated function and alias exports
+5. **Manifest loader** — `Import-PowerShellDataFile` for runtime metadata
+
+Two transformations are applied to each source file:
+
+- **Preamble stripping** — Removes file-level `[SuppressMessageAttribute]`,
+  `param()`, `using module`, and `# Generated by` lines that are only valid at
+  the top of standalone `.ps1` files. Attributes inside function bodies are
+  preserved.
+- **`$PSScriptRoot` path adjustment** — Strips parent-directory traversals
+  (`../`) that were needed in the original subdirectory structure but are
+  incorrect after consolidation to a flat module root. Any remaining
+  `$PSScriptRoot/..` references trigger a warning for manual review.
+- **Indentation normalization** (with `-Format`) — Runs `Invoke-Formatter`
+  per file to enforce 4-space indentation. Only the
+  `PSUseConsistentIndentation` rule is applied. If PSScriptAnalyzer is not
+  installed, a warning is emitted and formatting is skipped.
+
+### Phase D — Consolidate OrcaClasses.ps1
+
+Merges the ORCA class hierarchy into a single `OrcaClasses.ps1`:
+
+1. **Base classes and enums** from `orcaClass.psm1` (preamble preserved since
+   this file runs standalone via `ScriptsToProcess`)
+2. **Derived check classes** from each `check-ORCA*.ps1` file, with preambles
+   stripped and `using module` directives removed (the base classes are now
+   defined inline above)
+
+This file is registered as `ScriptsToProcess` in the manifest so that class
+definitions are available before the module's `.psm1` loads.
+
+When `-Format` is specified, each derived check class file is also passed
+through `Invoke-Formatter` for indentation normalization.
+
+### Phase E — Copy static assets
+
+Copies unchanged files to the output directory:
+
+- `assets/` directory (icons, images)
+- `Maester.Format.ps1xml` (type formatting)
+- `README.md`
+
+This phase runs before the manifest update (Phase F) so that
+`FormatsToProcess` references can be validated by `Update-ModuleManifest`.
+
+### Phase F — Update module manifest
+
+Copies the source `Maester.psd1` to the output directory and updates:
+
+- `FunctionsToExport` — set to the sorted, deduplicated list from Phase B
+- `ScriptsToProcess` — set to `@('OrcaClasses.ps1')`
+
+All other manifest fields (version, GUID, `RequiredModules`,
+`AliasesToExport`, etc.) are preserved from the source.
+
+### Phase G — Copy test suites
+
+Copies the `tests/` directory to `maester-tests/` in the output. Tests are
+copied as-is and not consolidated.
+
+### Phase H — Build profiling (optional)
+
+When `-Profile` is specified, imports the built module and reports:
+
+- `Import-Module` wall-clock time
+- Number of exported commands
+
+The module is unloaded after profiling.

+
+## Design Notes
+
+- **Source is never modified.** The build reads from `powershell/` and `tests/`
+  and writes exclusively to the output directory.
+- **Deterministic output.** Files are sorted by full path before concatenation.
+  The `FunctionsToExport` list is sorted alphabetically. Repeated builds from
+  the same source produce identical output.
+- **Encoding.** All generated PowerShell files use UTF-8 with BOM (`utf8BOM`),
+  matching the project convention.
+- **Preamble stripping is position-aware.** Only lines in the file-level
+  preamble region (before the first function/class definition) are stripped.
+  Identical attributes inside function bodies are preserved.
+- **The hardcoded PSM1 preamble** (module header, `#Requires`,
+  `$__MtSession`) is extracted from the source `Maester.psm1`. If new session
+  variables are added to the source, they must also be added to the build
+  script's preamble.
