Byte comparison made the guard fire on comment fixes, typos in comments and
reflow -- changes no consumer of the version can act on, so forcing a bump for
them is friction without a payoff.
The guard now compares a code fingerprint: the PowerShell token stream with
comments, newlines and line continuations removed. A behaviour change under an
unchanged $ScriptVersion still fails; comment and formatting changes publish
with a warning. That is also the rule the source file's own comment on
$ScriptVersion already states ("bump on meaningful changes").
Tokenising rather than regex-stripping keeps a '#' inside a string literal from
being mistaken for a comment.

The scripts behind download.autopilotmonitor.com/agent/ rotated only on a
publish_as_stable run of build-agent.yml, so a bootstrap fix sat unpublished
until the next agent cutover -- while the WDP bootstrap MSI downloads the
published copy on every enrolling device.
Publish-BootstrapScripts.ps1 becomes the single owner of the chain: dev render
with anchor check, $ScriptVersion bump guard, uploads (eu + fail-soft legacy
mirror, no-cache), the two version oracles, and verification through the alias.
publish-scripts.yml calls it on every push to main touching the sources; the
publish_as_stable branch of build-agent.yml calls the same code, so a release
still lands a consistent set.
Blobs are published in a deterministic CRLF/UTF-8-without-BOM form. Git
normalises line endings on checkout, so raw working-copy bytes would differ per
environment and make every byte comparison -- guard and verify alike -- depend
on where the workflow ran. The form reproduces the currently published bytes
exactly.
The Pester (PS 5.1) and ASCII gates move into the reusable
bootstrap-script-gates.yml and now block the upload; pester.yml keeps the
pull-request view and drops its push trigger. AdminConfiguration
.LatestBootstrapV2ScriptVersion gets exactly one writer.
