Pull request overview
Adds optional Version and Prerelease inputs to the Build-PSModule action so the version/prerelease label can be stamped into the module manifest at build time (instead of being injected later by Publish-PSModule), ensuring the tested artifact is the one that ships. When Version is omitted, the existing 999.0.0 placeholder is preserved for local builds. This pairs with the v3.x rewrite of Process-PSModule and Publish-PSModule (issue #326).
Changes:
- New
VersionandPrereleaseaction inputs wired throughaction.yml→main.ps1→Build-PSModule→Build-PSModuleManifest. Build-PSModuleManifestnow stampsModuleVersionand (when set)Prereleasedirectly on the manifest hashtable; the old in-line999.0.0literal and the post-build prerelease comment are removed/updated.- README expanded with a "What's new", Inputs and Outputs section.

| File | Description |
|---|---|
| action.yml | Declares the new optional Version and Prerelease inputs and forwards them as PSMODULE_BUILD_PSMODULE_INPUT_* env vars. |
| src/main.ps1 | Reads the new env vars, coalesces empty Version to 999.0.0, logs them, and passes them to Build-PSModule. |
| src/helpers/Build-PSModule.ps1 | Adds matching ModuleVersion / Prerelease parameters and forwards them to Build-PSModuleManifest. |
| src/helpers/Build/Build-PSModuleManifest.ps1 | Accepts ModuleVersion / Prerelease, stamps them on the manifest (replacing the hard-coded 999.0.0 and removing the post-publish prerelease comment). |
| README.md | Adds project description, "What's new" note about the new inputs, and Inputs/Outputs tables. |

Companion to PSModule/Process-PSModule#339 (PSModule/Process-PSModule#326).
Why
Publish-PSModuleused to inject the final version into the module manifest after the build/test stages, whichmeant the tested artifact was not the artifact that shipped. To enable Process-PSModule to compute the version up
front (in the new
Planjob) and pass it through,Build-PSModuleneeds to accept the version as input and stampthe manifest at build time.
What
Version(Major.Minor.Patch) andPrerelease.Versionis omitted, the existing local-build behaviour is preserved — the manifest is stamped with theplaceholder
999.0.0.Prerelease, when set, is written toPrivateData.PSData.Prereleaseso downstream tooling sees the fullprerelease label without any additional steps.
Backwards-compatible: existing callers that don't pass
Version/Prereleasecontinue to behave as before.
