+- **Preserved hyphenated PowerShell native options for safer parsing (#60)**
+  PowerShell native options now keep their full hyphenated form when present in
+  command text. Parameter forms like `-Native-Flag` and `-Native-Flag=value` now
+  stay correctly grouped instead of being split in ways that could confuse
+  downstream approvals. The parser also avoids over-reading ambiguous colon-value
+  combinations by marking those cases as `DynamicSkip` when the shape is unclear.
+  See [#60](https://github.com/Aaronontheweb/ShellSyntaxTree/issues/60) for
+  details.
