Import module failed in clean session

Start with a clean PowerShell session and run Import-Module Microsoft.PowerShell.PlatyPS using the reported PowerShell 7.6.3 and module version 1.0.3. Trace the module's loading and dependency packaging from that entry point, focusing on the missing YamlDotNet assembly. Done means the module imports successfully without the FileNotFoundException.

Prerequisites

• Write a descriptive title.
• Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest version
• Search the existing issues.

Steps to reproduce

Hello,

In a clean powershell session I got a error while importing the module.
Might be something with the load context, but not sure.
Would be great i someone could look at it.

Thank you
