   PSGallery only accepts PowerShell packages: a module (.psd1 manifest + .psm1) or a script (.ps1 with PSData metadata). This repo's core artifacts are a Python GUI (ExploitProtection.PY) plus the mitigation XML — so publishing requires a thin PowerShell wrapper module around Set-ProcessMitigation.

   Minimal viable shape:

   # ExploitProtection.psm1
   function Import-XploitPolicy {
       [CmdletBinding()]
       param([Parameter(Mandatory)][string]$PolicyFile)
       Set-ProcessMitigation -PolicyFilePath $PolicyFile
   }
   Export-ModuleMember -Function Import-XploitPolicy

   # ExploitProtection.psd1 essentials: ModuleVersion, GUID, Author,
   # FunctionsToExport = 'Import-XploitPolicy', plus PSData tags.
   Publish-Module -Path .\ExploitProtection -NuGetApiKey $key

   Security note: the API key must never be pasted into issues, code, or chat. Put it in repository Actions secrets and publish from a workflow step calling Publish-Module -NuGetApiKey $env:PSGALLERY_KEY — keeps releases reproducible and the key non-exportable.

   Next step to make this real: add a module/ folder (manifest + wrapper + release workflow). Leaving open until that exists.
