Subject: [PATCH] Fix #2515, #2538, #2678: Hidden folder discovery, error
 reporting, CimInstance

#2515: Include hidden (dot-prefixed) folders in test discovery on Linux
by adding -Force to Get-ChildItem calls in Find-File.

#2538: Container/block with discovery errors now reported as Failed
instead of incorrectly showing as Passed.

#2678: Suppress Get-CimInstance access denied error when Pester runs
without Administrator rights by adding -ErrorAction Ignore.

Copilot-generated fix.
