PSAvoidUsingWriteHost: Multiple files use Write-Host instead of Write-Output/Verbose

[eigenverft]

Issue

Multiple PowerShell files use Write-Host which is discouraged in PowerShell best practices. Write-Host has several limitations:

• Might not work in all hosts
• Does not work when there is no host
• Prior to PowerShell 5.0, cannot be suppressed, captured, or redirected

Affected Files

Eigenverft.Manifested.Agent.InvokeCodexTask.ps1

• Line 612: Write-Host $text

Eigenverft.Manifested.Agent.InvokeGeminiTask.ps1

• Line 546: Write-Host ([string]$record.Line)
• Line 624: Write-Host ([string]$line)
• Line 636: Write-Host ($rawStructuredOutput.TrimEnd("r", "n"))
• Line 660: Write-Host ([string]$line)

Eigenverft.Manifested.Agent.InvokeQwenTask.ps1

• Line 500: Write-Host ([string]$record.Line)
• Line 582: Write-Host ([string]$line)

Recommended Fix

Replace Write-Host with appropriate alternatives:

• Write-Output - for general output
• Write-Verbose - for verbose/diagnostic output
• Write-Information - for informational messages that should be suppressible

Example

# Before
Write-Host ([string]$record.Line)

# After
Write-Output ([string]$record.Line)
# or
Write-Verbose ([string]$record.Line)
