In Pester 5 a run has three independent failure counts. Gating only on FailedCount misses FailedBlocksCount (BeforeAll/AfterAll) and FailedContainersCount (files that fail to discover/load), so a failing BeforeAll or an unloadable test file passes the build green. This adds those counts to the gate. Generated with AI (GitHub Copilot CLI). Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

I've been seeing this commonly across Pester 5 build scripts and I'm fixing it where it looks like it could hide real failures.
In Pester 5 a run reports three independent failure counts:
FailedCount— failed tests (It)FailedBlocksCount— failedBeforeAll/AfterAllFailedContainersCount— files that error during discovery / fail to loadGating on only
FailedCountmeans aBeforeAllthat throws, or a test file that fails to load, leavesFailedCount = 0and the build passes green despite real failures. Pester itself derives the overall pass/fail from the sum of all three.This change includes all three counts in the gate. Display/log messages are left unchanged.
