PSGallery module resolution occasionally blips on a single matrix runner (observed on windows-latest, pwsh) even when the identical Install-Module call succeeds on the other OSes in the same run. Wrap Pester/Posh-SSH installs in both cross-platform-tests.yml jobs with a small retry helper (3 attempts, 15s back-off, -ErrorAction Stop so the non-terminating PSGallery failure actually trips the catch). Also bump actions/checkout v4 -> v7 in this file to clear the Node.js 20 deprecation warning on these jobs.

Summary
Install-Modulecalls for Pester/Posh-SSH in bothcross-platform-tests.ymljobs with a small retry helper (3 attempts, 15s back-off). Fixes a transientInstall-Package: No match was found for the specified search criteria and module name Pesterfailure seen on thewindows-latest, pwshjob, where the identical call succeeded on ubuntu/macOS in the same run -- a manual re-run then passed. Uses-ErrorAction Stopsince PSGallery resolution failures are non-terminating by default and would otherwise never trip thecatch.actions/checkoutv4 -> v7 in this file (both jobs) to clear the Node.js 20 deprecation warning.
