fix: reuse EAM classification for PIM alerts

[nathanmcnulty]

Fixes #2218. Depends on #2220; review just the PIM changes. The shared snapshot changes are included until that PR merges.

Replace the per-item GitHub download with the checked-in EAM table. Load it on the first filtered item, cache it for the invocation, and derive each item's filter after pipeline property binding.

Preserve existing error/skip behavior if a requested filter cannot be applied. Returning broader results would change the scope of a tier-specific check.

Validation: 8 PIM tests pass, covering direct filtering, changing pipeline tiers, one classification load, empty/missing classification, and no runtime web requests.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added a built-in classification table for 145 Entra ID directory roles across four access levels.
  • Role-based filtering now uses checked-in classification data without requiring a remote download during test execution.
  • Classification data loads only when filtering is requested.

• Bug Fixes

  • Prevented cached alert data from being modified across repeated pipeline inputs.
  • Classification failures or empty data now skip affected tests instead of producing unfiltered results with warnings.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a validated build-time generator and a checked-in EAM classification map. PIM alert and permanent directory role checks reuse the map instead of downloading classification data during execution. Tests cover validation, filtering, caching, and failure behavior.

Changes

EAM classification generation and reuse

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Classification generator and validation build/Update-MtEamClassification.ps1, powershell/tests/functions/Update-MtEamClassification.Tests.ps1	The build script validates role IDs and EAM tiers, rejects duplicates, checks source content, computes a SHA-256 hash, and generates sorted PowerShell classification data. Tests cover valid, duplicate, and unknown-tier input.
Checked-in classification accessor powershell/internal/Get-MtEamClassification.ps1, powershell/tests/functions/Update-MtEamClassification.Tests.ps1	The generated source lazily initializes a 145-entry role classification hashtable and exposes it through Get-MtEamClassification. Snapshot tests verify selected mappings and the Unclassified tier.
Consumer filtering and fallback behavior powershell/public/maester/entra/Test-MtPimAlertsExists.ps1, powershell/public/maester/entra/Test-MtPrivPermanentDirectoryRole.ps1, powershell/tests/functions/Test-MtPimAlertsExists.Tests.ps1, powershell/tests/functions/Test-MtPrivPermanentDirectoryRole.Tests.ps1	Both checks load classification data through the accessor and avoid runtime web requests. PIM alerts and permanent-role checks return error skips when classification loading fails. Tests verify filtering, caching, alert-copy behavior, and failure paths.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes to Test-MtPrivPermanentDirectoryRole and its tests are not required by #2218, which targets Test-MtPimAlertsExists. Those changes add classification behavior to a separate test and also change permanent-role ErrorAction behavior. The shared classification helper is relevant to #2218, but the separate permanent-role behavior has no stated requirement in the linked issue.

first applicable process invocation in both Test-MtPimAlertsExists and
Test-MtPrivPermanentDirectoryRole, after pipeline property binding has populated
