/**

* PowerShell Constrained Language Mode allowed types.

*

* Microsoft's CLM restricts .NET type usage to this allowlist when PS runs

* under AppLocker/WDAC system lockdown. Any type NOT in this set is considered

* unsafe for untrusted code execution.

*

* We invert this: type literals not in this set → ask. One canonical check

* replaces enumerating individual dangerous types (named pipes, reflection,

* process spawning, P/Invoke marshaling, etc.). Microsoft maintains the list.

*

* Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_language_modes

*

* Normalization: entries stored lowercase, short AND full names where both

* exist (PS resolves type accelerators like [int] → System.Int32 at runtime;

* we match against what the AST emits, which is the literal text).
