function Get-FluenceUiHostMode
{
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Selects the caller's STA thread or the process-wide module UI runspace.
    .DESCRIPTION
        An existing application can be used on its own dispatcher thread. An application owned by
        the module's published STA runspace is reached through that runspace, even when the caller
        itself is STA. A foreign dispatcher on another thread is rejected: invoking a PowerShell
        delegate there does not establish a PowerShell execution context.
    .OUTPUTS
        System.String
    .NOTES
        Reads thread and application state only. Does not require a host application.
