In PS5.1 it seems to work fine if you put the PSScriptInfo *after* the comment-based help. I don't know if PSGallery supports it, but I have seen that the built-in powershell commands like `Test-ScriptFileInfo` successfully can parse the "PSScriptInfo" block after the comment-based help.
Example `c:\temp\MyScriptFile.ps1`
```lang-pwsh <# .SYNOPSIS This is a synopsis.
.DESCRIPTION My example script file.
.OUTPUTS Logging messages
.NOTES Some notes. #>

<#PSScriptInfo .VERSION 1.0.0 .GUID 47a13a19-ee03-4d1c-bdbf-6223db478629 .AUTHOR Pxtl .COMPANYNAME Pxtl's company .COPYRIGHT 2025 .PROJECTURI https://Pxtl.ca .RELEASENOTES - Initial release 1.0.0 #>
[OutputType([string])] [CmdletBinding()] param () process { "Hello, world" } ```
appears to support both `Get-Help` and `Test-ScriptFileInfo`
```lang-pwsh Test-ScriptFileInfo C:\temp\MyScriptFile.ps1 ```
yields
```text
Version Name Author Description ------- ---- ------ ----------- 1.0.0 MyScriptFile Pxtl My example script file. ```
and
```lang-pwsh Get-Help C:\temp\MyScriptFile.ps1 -Full ```
yields
```text NAME C:\temp\MyScriptFile.ps1

In order to get the parameter details, you apparently need to use the `-detailed` or `-full` switch, i.e., `Get-Help Add-Extension -detailed`. When I do that with your code from the first example, I get
``` PS D:\Scripts> Get-Help Add-Extension -detailed
NAME Add-Extension
SYNOPSIS Adds a file name extension to a supplied name.

SYNTAX Add-Extension [[-Name] <String>] [[-Extension] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION Adds a file name extension to a supplied name. Takes any strings for the file name or extension.

-Extension <String> Specifies the extension. "Txt" is the default.

The Microsoft documentation is not clear about this.
