## Validation Steps Performed
- Spell check should not complain
## Summary
Fixes an issue where the Command Palette Windows Terminal Profiles
extension throws an `ArgumentNullException` when the `LOCALAPPDATA`
environment variable is missing or corrupted.
## Problem
The extension uses `Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("LOCALAPPDATA")`
to locate Windows Terminal settings files. When this environment
variable is missing or corrupted (though rare), the method returns
`null`, which then causes `Path.Combine()` to throw an exception:
```
System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'paths')
at System.IO.Path.Combine(ReadOnlySpan`1 paths)
at Microsoft.CmdPal.Ext.WindowsTerminal.Helpers.TerminalQuery.GetTerminals()
```
## Solution
Replace `Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("LOCALAPPDATA")` with the
more robust
`Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData)`.
This API:
- Returns the correct path even when environment variables are corrupted
- Never returns `null` for standard special folders
- Is already used elsewhere in PowerToys (e.g.,
`Wox.Plugin.Constant.cs`)
## Changes
- Updated
`Microsoft.CmdPal.Ext.WindowsTerminal/Helpers/TerminalQuery.cs`
## Testing
The fix follows the existing pattern used in the codebase and directly
addresses the exception in the reported stack trace. While unlikely to
affect most users (environment variable corruption is rare), this makes
the extension more resilient to edge cases.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request refactors how the `ToggleThemeHotkey` property is
handled in the LightSwitch settings and view model. The changes simplify
property management by directly referencing the property within
`LightSwitchProperties` and ensure that the hotkey setting is
consistently updated and serialized.
**Settings property management:**
* In `LightSwitchSettings.Clone()`, the `LightSwitchProperties` object
now directly references the existing property instances instead of
creating new ones, and also includes the `ToggleThemeHotkey` property.
**View model property handling:**
* In `LightSwitchViewModel.ToggleThemeActivationShortcut`, the getter
and setter now directly access and update
`ModuleSettings.Properties.ToggleThemeHotkey.Value`, removing the need
for a backing field and ensuring changes are properly serialized and
notified.

## Summary of the Pull Request
- Fixes the countdown timer drift issue #41671
- Includes minor refactoring to consolidate identical timer completion
code in `SetExpirableKeepAwake` and `SetTimedKeepAwake`.
- Removes the ~50 day restriction on timed keep-awake. The timer may now
be `uint.MaxValue` seconds, or ~136 years.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
This replaces the combined `Observable.Timer` and `Observable.Interval`
timers with a single 1-second Interval timer which checks against a
fixed expiry time.
<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
Checked that:
1. The timed keep-awake works via the `--time-limit` parameter, and
expiry occurs on time.
2. The countdown timer in the systray menu correctly counts down for
small values:
<img width="386" height="109" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b282dfd8-38e7-48ab-b17c-99756ef73b99"
/>
3. The countdown timer in the systray menu counts down for larger values
than were previously possible:
<img width="380" height="104" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7a807a37-8945-4048-a86c-05e6ac9310a9"
/>
4. On a heavily CPU-loaded system, the previous countdown drift does not
happen.
5. The expirable keep-awake mode still functions as expected.
## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR:
- Cleans up ContentPageViewModel when its page unloads to ensure it
unsubscribes from ItemsChanged.
- Clears the command bar before initializing a new page view model,
allowing the new VM to set its own state without being overridden by the
shell afterward.

Not sure why In WinAppSDK 1.8, the default WinUI targets no longer
automatically generate PRI files for unpackaged apps.

This PR introduces a hotfix that updates special fallback items
separately from the rest. This allows the loop handling special fallback
items to finish faster, ensuring they are not delayed by other fallback
items. As a result, calculator and run fallback items will be more
readily available to users.
This partially solves #42286 for special fallback items.

Replaces our styling with the same styleing we use for the search bar
But we can't _just_ do that, because the stupid "text cursors don't show
up on top of transparent backgrounds" thing.
So I just added the smoke backdrop to the search box. Seemed reasonable.
Screenshots below.

Issue: When using the shortcut to switch modes manually, the service
would try to correct the theme to the expected mode.
Problem: Event resetting between each loop.
Fix: Set the event to be manually reset only so that the event isn't
resetting between each loop. The rest of the code was already written to
expect this behavior so no other changes should be necessary.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request introduces a new suite of helper scripts for managing
Git worktrees in the `tools/build` directory, along with comprehensive
documentation. The scripts streamline common workflows such as creating,
reusing, and deleting worktrees for feature branches, forks, and
issue-based development, making it easier for developers to work on
multiple changes in parallel without duplicating the repository. Each
script is provided as both a PowerShell (`.ps1`) and Windows batch
(`.cmd`) wrapper for convenience. A detailed markdown guide explains
usage patterns, scenarios, and best practices.
**New worktree management scripts:**
* Added `New-WorktreeFromFork.ps1`/`.cmd` to create a worktree from a
branch in a personal fork, handling remote creation and branch tracking
automatically.

* Added `New-WorktreeFromBranch.ps1`/`.cmd` to create or reuse a
worktree for an existing local or remote branch, with logic to fetch and
track branches as needed.

* Added `New-WorktreeFromIssue.ps1`/`.cmd` to create a new issue branch
from a base ref (default `origin/main`), slugifying the issue title for
branch naming.

* Added `Delete-Worktree.ps1`/`.cmd` to safely remove a worktree, with
options to force removal, keep the local branch, or retain orphan fork
remotes. Includes robust error handling and manual recovery guidance.

**Documentation:**
* Introduced `Wokrtree-Guidelines.md`, a comprehensive guide covering
the purpose, usage, flows, naming conventions, troubleshooting, and best
practices for the new worktree scripts.
Closes#42241Closes#42245
Apps that were pinned would show in search results twice. Resolved.
Run & Calculator wouldn't show in search results. Resolved.
In #41959 we changed the string matcher's weighting. It ended up giving
us lower scores than before.
That meant that the weighting from recent commands was far too heavy,
and it was polluting the results. Basically any command that you'd run
would be like, 30 characters of weight heavier than anything you
haven't.
This increases the weight of all string matches by 10x. That means
something like
`Command Prompt` will get a string matched weight of `100` instead of
`10`. This balances better with the weighting from frecency (where the
MRU command gets +35, then `+min(5*uses,35)`, for up to 70 points of
weight)
It also adds a bunch of tests here, to try and catch this again in the
future.
Closes#42158
## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR fixes the regression of the "Open containing folder" context
menu items:
- For Win32 apps, the command now displays the correct icon, opens the
folder containing the shortcut, and selects the file.
- For UWP apps, it sets the same icon and item title as the equivalent
command for Win32 apps.
- For both, it updates the item's title to "Open file location" to align
with the Windows 11 menu naming convention.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR fixes a critical issue in Mouse Without Borders where
conflicting machine IDs would cause connection failures. The changes
ensure that when machine IDs are generated or updated, the settings are
immediately persisted to prevent loss of the new ID and maintain proper
synchronization between the property and backing field.
Key changes:
* Immediate settings persistence when a new machine ID is generated
(unless instant saving is paused)
* Proper synchronization of the machineId field when the MachineId
property is set
* Addition of settings saving logic in both getter and setter scenarios

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR resolves lingering spell-check warnings and other minor issues,
allowing us to focus on newly emerging problems.
**Changes:**
- Excludes empty and binary files
- Converts invalid dictionary entries into patterns
- Since dictionary entries can only contain letters, `0x6f677548` was
previously ignored
- Removes unused words
- Adds a pattern marker to ignore all code on a line
- `/* #no-spell-check-line */`
- `// #no-spell-check`
This should reduce outstanding spellchecker warnings and suggestions to
zero.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR introduces cancellation support for navigation. If a user
navigates to page X and then returns back or navigates elsewhere before
the page X fully loads, this update ensures that page X will not set
itself as the current page and is ignored.
It resolves the issue where returning to the home page left the previous
page's icon and placeholder visible in the search bar, causing the
search functionality to fail.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR addresses spellchecking issues in Light Switch module:
- Resolves the forbidden pattern “`, otherwise`” by rewriting it as “`;
otherwise`”.
- Updates `resource.h`, which was previously empty and therefore treated
as a binary file by the spellchecker.
The file now includes standard version information consistent with other
projects, ensuring it is properly recognized and that the correct
version information is included in
`PowerToys.LightSwitchModuleInterface.dll`.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
### Known bugs:
- Default settings not saving correctly when switching modes
- Issue: Sometimes when you switch from one mode to another, they are
supposed to update with new defaults but sometimes this fails for the
second variable. Potentially has to do with accessing the settings file
while another chunk of code is still updating.
- Sometimes the system looks "glitched" when switching themes
### To do:
- [x] OOBE page and assets
- [x] Logic to disable the chart when no location has been selected
- [x] Localization
### How to and what to test
Grab the latest installer from the pipeline below for your architecture
and install PowerToys from there.
- Toggle theme shortcutSystem only, Apps only, Both system and apps
selected
- Does changing the values on the settings page update the settings
file? %LOCALAPPDATA%/Microsoft/PowerToys/LightSwitch/settings.json
- Manual mode: System only, Apps only, Both system and apps selected
- Sunrise modes: Are the times accurate?
- If you manage to let this run through sunset/rise does the theme
change?
- Set your theme to change within the next minute using manual mode and
set your device to sleepOpen your device and login once the time you set
has passed. --> Do your settings resync once the next minute ticks after
logging back into your device?
- Disable the service and ensure the tasks actually ends.
- While the module is disabled:
- Make sure the shortcut no longer works
- Make sure the last time you set doesn't trigger a theme change
- Bonus: Toggle GPO Configuration and make sure you are unable to enable
the module

Caching bugs are hard.
This fixes like, three different run commands bugs:
* typing `c:\windows\p`, then backspacing to `c:\windows` would populate
the cache for `c:\` with the files in `c:\` that matched `windows*`.
* Now when the dir chenges, we correctly fill the cache with everything
in that dir, then filter it.
* that also caused a similar edge case for `c:\windows\` -> `c:\windows`
(the first should show results under c:\windows\` the second should only
show things in `c:\` matching `windows`
* As of my last PR, we support commandlines with spaces. We however
forgot to handle _paths_ with spaces. We'll now correctly show path
results for something like `c:\program files\`
## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR adds a new keyboard shortcut Alt+Home that takes user
immediately to the home page in a single action.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR fixes three issues in one go:
- Restores missing icons in app context menus.
- Fixes propagation of changes from a command item to the context menu
item for the primary action.
- Ensures the context menus stay in sync when underlying command items
change.
Details:
- Correctly propagates updates of name, icon, and subtitle from a
command item to its primary command
(`CommandItemViewModel._defaultCommandContextItemViewModel`).
- Correctly propagate updates of command's name to title
(`CommandItem.ctor`).
- Fixes icon loading for application items: `AppCommand` no longer loads
an app icon by default but instead relies on the caller to provide one
(since `AppListItem` also handles icon loading).
- Adds a generic fallback icon for apps when an icon cannot be loaded.
- Updates bindings on context menu items to `OneWay`, ensuring the UI
properly reflects item changes.
- Adds a sample that showcases dynamically updated commands (with cats
and dolphins!) to _Samples → List Page Sample Command_.
⚠️ Toolkit changes:
- `CommandItem` won't capture assigned Command's name as its `Title`.
This will allow it to propagate future changes to `Command.Name`.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR introduces a workaround for cases where DWM cloaking of the main
window fails.
If the main window cannot be cloaked by DWM, it will remain hidden until
the user explicitly summons it. (Normally, we cloak the window and
immediately display it under DWM's cover of darkness. When cloaking
fails, the windows would be displayed permanently.)
