cproudlock 5de3594425 displays: the client module updates itself
Install-ShopdbKiosk.ps1 lays the enforce client down once at bootstrap and
never refreshes it. So a client change rode the code deploy to the server
and then sat one directory away from where kiosks actually fetch, waiting
for someone to re-stage the installer bundle by hand - which is how the new
display-type reporting reached prod and changed nothing on any kiosk.

The module now ships as a manifest entry like everything else in this
scope: inline over HTTPS, Hash detection against the exact bytes shipped,
written to the same path the installer uses so bootstrap and self-update
cannot disagree. Ordered first, so a stale client refreshes before anything
leans on it. The installer keeps its real job - a fresh kiosk still needs
something that can talk to shopdb - it just stops being the update path.

Self-modifying by design: this module is what stages payloads, but
PowerShell loads it into memory at start, so rewriting the file mid-run is
harmless and lands on the next cycle. Pilot a client change on ONE kiosk
before the fleet: a broken module cannot fetch its own replacement, and on
a share-less display that means a site visit.
