Test-FileExists / Test-DirHasFiles report their line with Write-Output and
ALSO return $true/$false — both on the Success stream. The callers piped
the whole call to `| Out-Null` to discard the boolean, which discarded the
report line with it, so text mode printed the header and nothing under it:
BEFORE (measured, powershell.exe -NoProfile -File ... -IncludeTasks):
FEATURE_DIR:...\specs\001-f
AVAILABLE_DOCS:
(2 lines)
AFTER:
FEATURE_DIR:...\specs\001-f
AVAILABLE_DOCS:
[OK] research.md
[FAIL] data-model.md
[FAIL] contracts/
[FAIL] quickstart.md
[FAIL] tasks.md
(7 lines)
The bash and Python twins both list every document under that header, so
the PowerShell variant silently returned less information for the same
inputs.
Filter out only the boolean, keeping the report lines. Adds the first
PowerShell text-mode test in this file (every existing PS test is -Json).
File stays ASCII-only (verified 0 non-ASCII bytes).
