cproudlock 1078ac03df geenforce: shadow runs inside the enforce cycle, not on its own clock ...

Test bays reported 0 installed / 0 skipped / 0 failed and nothing was being
processed. The share is a TRANSIENT mount: GE-Enforce.ps1 maps it for the length
of its cycle and unmounts at the end - mounted 12:10:02, unmounted 12:10:27 on
FB9TP7V3. The shadow task ran on its own 15-minute schedule, so it woke with the
drive gone, handed the engine a path that no longer resolved, and the summary
zero-filled. A silent nothing, indistinguishable from a healthy no-op, which is
why it read as "not processing" rather than as a failure.

Register-ShopdbShadow.ps1 is replaced by Invoke-ShopdbShadow.ps1, which runs AS
a manifest entry and invokes the runner directly. The share is mounted because
the enforce cycle is what called us; there is one cadence instead of two; and
there is no task to register, drift, or heal. It also unregisters the superseded
task, so bays that already carry it clean themselves up rather than keeping a
run that cannot see the share and overwrites the real result with 0/0/0.

The runner gains the Test-Path guard that should have been there: an unreachable
-ShareManifestPath now logs, writes an event, and reports a real failure naming
the reason, instead of running the engine against nothing. That silent zero is
what made this expensive to find.

Verified on the win11 VM with a substituted drive removed between runs - the
same call gives real counts while mapped and the guard when not. The earlier
task self-heal is moot now; it was a fix at the wrong layer, and testing against
a local path is what hid a mount I had already noted was dynamic.
