• The current revision still enables strict mode while directly reading potentially absent properties later in this script ($_.ErrorDetails.Message, $response.value, $installation.id, and $accessToken.token). Under strict mode, connection errors or malformed API responses therefore throw property-access errors before the intended fallback/diagnostic runs. Please apply the strict-mode-safe property checks and focused tests described in the resolved thread; they are not present in this revision.
