## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR expands the scenarios where Run handles exceptions silently,
reducing the number of exception dialogs displayed to users and creating
a smoother experience. The premise remains unchanged: most exceptions
occur when Run is in the background, and the app can recover as the DWM
recovers.
This should cover most of the reports commonly encountered in the wild.
- Extended silent handling of DWM exceptions to include
`DWM_E_COMPOSITIONDISABLED` (0x80263001).
- Added silent handling for `STATUS_MESSAGE_LOST` error (NTSTATUS
0xC0000701, HR 0xD0000701).
- Implemented exception handling and retry logic for failures during
manual app theme changes (triggered by
`PowerLauncher.Helper.ThemeManager`).
I can't reproduce the error on its own; it only occurs alongside a fatal
render thread failure (`UCEERR_RENDERTHREADFAILURE`), which is
unrecoverable. Even if caught, the UI stops rendering, leaving the
end-user unable to proceed.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Problem
-------------
We've observed multiple bug reports related to crashes with the
following exceptions:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0xD0000701)
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80263001)
The root cause of these crashes has been traced to the WPF framework,
specifically this line in WindowChromeWorker.cs:
3439f20fb8/src/Microsoft.DotNet.Wpf/src/PresentationFramework/System/Windows/Shell/WindowChromeWorker.cs (L1005)
These crashes are not necessarily caused by PowerToys Run itself being
used, or even visible. However, users perceive them as Run-related
because the "Report problem UI" is triggered by our global exception
handler, surfacing the underlying WPF crash.
Fix
------------
This PR:
- Suppresses the launch of the "Report problem UI" for exceptions known
to be triggered by unstable platform conditions (such as COMExceptions
from WPF internals).
- Continues to log the exception to preserve diagnostic data.
This change ensures we:
- Avoid showing an UI when WPF framework itself is already having
problem to handling DWM composition changes.

This upgrades to [v0.0.24](https://github.com/check-spelling/check-spelling/releases/tag/v0.0.24).
A number of GitHub APIs are being turned off shortly, so you need to upgrade or various uncertain outcomes will occur.
There's a new accessibility forbidden pattern:

```pl

```
There are some minor bugs that I'm aware of and which I've fixed since this release, but I don't expect to make another release this month.
I've added a pair of patterns for includes and pragmas. My argument is that the **compiler** will _generally_ tell you if you've misspelled an include and the **linker** will _generally_ tell you if you misspell a lib.
- There's a caveat here: If your include case-insensitively matches the referenced file (but doesn't properly match it), then unless you either use a case-sensitive file system (as opposed to case-preserving) or beg clang to warn, you won't notice when you make this specific mistake -- this matters in that a couple of Windows headers (e.g. Unknwn.h) have particular case and repositories don't tend to consistently/properly write them.
## Summary of the Pull Request
Fixes an issue where PowerToys Run can sometimes start up in an
inconvenient position in a multi-monitor / multi-DPI setup.
* Add SHQueryUserNotificationState to NativeMethods
* Check for QUNS_RUNNING_D3D_FULL_SCREEN in IsWindowFullscreen
The current test for whether a window is full-screen (i.e. a movie or a game) is a bit of a heuristic. In certain cases however, we can *know* that a window is full-screen. Check that case first, then proceed with the existing logic
