The file patterns that determine whether a PR warrants a new release (^src/, ^README\.md$) are hardcoded in Get-PSModuleSettings with no user override. This documents a new Publish.Module.ImportantFilesPatterns setting to make them configurable.

Changes

• Configuration table: Added Publish.Module.ImportantFilesPatterns (String, comma-separated regex patterns)
• Important file change detection section: Restructured to show defaults as regex patterns and added "Customizing important file patterns" subsection with examples
• Default PSModule.yml example: Added ImportantFilesPatterns entry

Usage

# Override default patterns to also trigger releases on examples and changelog changes
Publish:
  Module:
    ImportantFilesPatterns: '^src/, ^README\.md$, ^examples/, ^CHANGELOG\.md$'

Default value: '^src/, ^README\.md$' (preserves current behavior).
