chore(editorconfig): drop no-op PowerShell indent_size

[kyle-sexton]

What

Remove the [*.{ps1,psm1,psd1}] indent_size = 4 section from .editorconfig.

Why

The value restated the [*] default (indent_size = 4) with no overriding
section in between, so it was a no-op. JetBrains Rider/ReSharper flags this
exact case as a "Redundant property" inspection, which a comment cannot
suppress. The EditorConfig maintainers' own convention
is to declare a narrower section only when its value differs from the
inherited default.

Impact

None on effective formatting — PowerShell files (.ps1/.psm1/.psd1) continue
to inherit indent_size = 4 from [*]. The deliberate PowerShell-LF rationale
was not lost: it remains authoritative in .gitattributes (this file's own
header already defers all line-ending policy there; end_of_line here is an
editor hint only).

Propagation

Consumers that vendored this config (.github, github-iac, …) will pick up
the removal on their next standards sync.

Note

Low Risk
Config-only cleanup with no change to effective indentation or line-ending behavior.

Overview
Removes the [*.{ps1,psm1,psd1}] EditorConfig block that set indent_size = 4 and carried a PowerShell LF comment. That indent value duplicated the global [*] default, so Rider/ReSharper treated it as a redundant property.

PowerShell files still get 4-space indentation from [*] and LF line endings from .gitattributes (unchanged); only the duplicate editor hint and its comment are gone.

Verdict: LGTM — no issues found.

What the change does

Removes the [*.{ps1,psm1,psd1}] section from .editorconfig:

-# PowerShell — LF runs on both PowerShell 7 and Windows PowerShell 5.1 (verified
-# empirically). See the .gitattributes note before changing this to crlf.
-[*.{ps1,psm1,psd1}]
-indent_size = 4

Is the no-op claim correct?

Yes. The [*] root section at .editorconfig:12-18 already sets indent_size = 4, and no intervening section changes it for PowerShell files. The removed section was a pure restatement of the inherited default.

Is the LF rationale actually preserved?

Yes, and with more detail than the removed comment. .gitattributes lines 18-27 document the deliberate choice:

# PowerShell — LF is deliberate. Verified to run on both PowerShell 7 and
# Windows PowerShell 5.1. The PowerShell repo pins .ps1 to eol=lf; the popular
# community gitattributes template pins crlf — they target different eras. Listed
# explicitly so it is not "corrected" to crlf without a requirement to round-trip
# pre-existing CRLF-signed scripts unchanged.

The .editorconfig file header also explicitly defers line-ending authority to .gitattributes (.editorconfig:9-10), so the removed comment was a secondary (and less complete) reference — not a loss.

Additional observations

• All three PowerShell extensions (.ps1, .psm1, .psd1) were covered by the removed section and all three continue to inherit indent_size = 4 correctly.
• The removed section's indent_size = 4 property and its LF-rationale comment were somewhat mismatched (the comment explained the absence of end_of_line = crlf, but the only property was indent_size). Removing the section actually resolves that mismatch.
• The JetBrains Rider "Redundant property" inspection concern is legitimate — it cannot be suppressed with a comment — making this a practical fix for tooling noise.

Verdict: LGTM — no issues found.

What the change does

Removes the [*.{ps1,psm1,psd1}] section from .editorconfig:37-41 (pre-change):

-# PowerShell — LF runs on both PowerShell 7 and Windows PowerShell 5.1 (verified
-# empirically). See the .gitattributes note before changing this to crlf.
-[*.{ps1,psm1,psd1}]
-indent_size = 4

Is the no-op claim correct?

Yes. [*] at line 14 already sets indent_size = 4, and no intervening section narrows or overrides it for PowerShell extensions. The removed section was a pure restatement of the inherited default — removing it has zero effect on effective indentation.

Is the LF rationale preserved?

Yes. The .editorconfig header at lines 9–10 explicitly defers all line-ending authority to .gitattributes, so the removed comment was always a secondary reference. The authoritative rationale lives in .gitattributes and is unaffected by this PR.

Additional observations

• The file is now cleaner and free of the JetBrains Rider "Redundant property" inspection noise.
• The removed comment's explanation of LF choice was somewhat mismatched anyway — it explained the absence of end_of_line = crlf, but the only property in the section was indent_size. Removing it cleans up that mismatch.
• All three PowerShell extensions (.ps1, .psm1, .psd1) continue to inherit indent_size = 4 from [*].

[cursor]

Risk: low. Cursor Bugbot completed successfully with no findings requiring human review. Approved — this removes a redundant PowerShell indent_size that duplicated the [*] default with no effective formatting change. No reviewers assigned.
