5c31470c10 fix: Remove extra '..' segment from OutputPath values 
Fixed 23 csproj files where OutputPath incorrectly included '..\'

18efa0559c Introduce new utility PowerDisplay to control your monitor settings (#42642) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
Introduce a new PowerToys' module PowerDisplay to let user can control
their monitor settings without touching monitor's button.

Support feature list:
Common:
1. Profiles support
2. Integration with LightSwitch (auto switch profile when theme change)
3. TrayIcon
4. Save and restore settings when startup
5. Shortcut
6. Rotation
7. GPO support
8. Auto re-discovery monitor when plugging and unplugging monitors.
9. Identify Monitors
10. Quick profile switch

Especially for DDC/CI monitor:
1. Brightness
2. Contrast
3. Volume
4. Color temperature (preset profile)
5. Input source
6. Power State (poweroff)


Design doc:
https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/yuleng/display/pr/3/doc/devdocs/modules/powerdisplay/design.md

AOT compatibility:
I designed this module for AOT from the start, so I'm pretty sure at
least 95% of it is AOT compatible. But unfortunately, PowerToys still
have a AOT blocker to block this module publish with AOT.

Currently PowerToys will check the .net file version (file version not
lib version) to avoid crash. So, all modules should reference Common.UI
or add UseWPF to avoid overwrite the .net file with different version
(which may cause crash).

Todo:
- [ ] BugBash
- [ ] Icon
- [ ] IdentifyWindow UI improvement

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Before, there was a function that initialized some variables about the
current system state that were later used to check against if that state
needed to change in a different function. That caused from some issues
because I was reusing the function for a double purpose. Now the
`SyncInitialThemeState()` function in the State Manager will sync those
initial variables and apply the correct theme if needed.

I also removed an unnecessary parameter from `onTick`

49cc504d94 CmdPal: Improve fuzzy matcher Unicode and emoji robustness (#45275) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

Add comprehensive unit tests for emoji, ZWJ sequences, skin tone
modifiers, and UTF-16 edge cases (unpaired surrogates, combining marks,
random garbage). Update matcher logic to skip normalization of lone
surrogates, preventing errors with malformed Unicode. Expand comparison
test data to cover emoji scenarios. Adds regression guards for diacritic
handling and surrogate processing.

Fixes #45246 introduced in #44809.

18c6d6b0f3 CmdPal: Improve loading of application icons (uwp and jumbo icons) - part 2 (#44973) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR improves icons for app items:
- Refactors icon detection and selection from the AppX manifest out of
`UWPApplication`
- Prefer *unplated* UWP app logos so icons no longer appear smaller than
expected
- Adds an icon loader based on `IShellItemImageFactory` to correctly
load large icons
- Jumbo icons loaded from shortcuts are now crisp
- Jumbo icons loaded from shortcuts are no longer scaled down
- Refactors detail loading in `AppListItem` to prevent potential
deadlocks
- Makes PWA icons more crisp
- Fixes fallback item (now it gets used not only when the icon is null,
but also when it's empty).

4d1f92199c CmdPal: Make Indexer great again - part 1 - hotfix (#44729) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces a rough hotfix for several indexer-related issues.

- Premise: patch what we can in-place and fix the core later (reworking
`SeachEngine` and `SearchQuery` is slightly trickier). This patch also
removes some dead code for future refactor.
- Adds search cancellation to the File Search page and the indexer
fallback.
- Prevents older searches from overwriting newer model state and reduces
wasted work.
- Stops reusing the search engine; creates a new instance per search to
avoid synchronization issues.
- That `SeachEngine` and `SearchQuery` are not multi-threading friendly.
- Removes search priming to simplify the code and improve performance.
- Since `SearchQuery` cancels and re-primes on every search, priming
provides little benefit and can hide extra work (for example,
cancellation triggering re-priming).
- Fixes the indexer fallback subject line not updating when there is
more than one match.
  - It previously kept the old value, which was confusing.
- ~Shows the number of matched files in the fallback result.~
- Fetching total number of rows was reverted, performance was not stable
:(
- Optimizes the indexer fallback by reducing the number of items
processed but not used.
- Only fetches the item(s) needed for the fallback itself—no extra work
on the hot path.
- Stops reusing the fallback result when navigating to the File Search
page to show more results. This requires querying again, but it
simplifies the flow and keeps components isolated.
- Fixes the English mnemonic keyword `kind` being hardcoded in the
search page filter. Windows Search uses localized mnemonic keyword
names, so this PR replaces it with canonical keyword `System.Kind` that
is universaly recognized.
- Adds extra diagnostics to `SearchQuery` and makes logging more
precise.
- DataPackage for the IndexerListItem now defers including of storage
items - boost performance and we avoid touching the item until its
needed.
- IndexerPage with a prepopulated query will delay loading until the
items are actually enumerated (to avoid populating from fallback hot
path) and it no longer takes external SearchEngine. It just recreates
everything.

dca532cf4b CmdPal: Icon cache (#44538) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR implements actual cache in IconCacheService and adds some fixes
on top for free.

The good
- `IconCacheService` now caches decoded icons
- Ensures that UI thread is not starved by loading icons by limiting
number of threads that can load icons at any given time
- `IconCacheService` decodes bitmaps directly to the required size to
reduce memory usage
- `IconBox` now reacts to theme, DPI scale, and size changes immediately
- Introduced `AdaptiveCache` with time-based decay to improve icon reuse
- Updated `IconCacheProvider` and `IconCacheService` to handle multiple
icon sizes and scale-aware caching
- Added priority-based decoding in `IconCacheService` for more
responsive loading
- Extended `IconPathConverter` to support target icon sizes
- Switched hero images in `ShellPage` to use the jumbo icon cache
- Made `MainWindow` title bar logic resilient to a null `XamlRoot`
- Fixed Tag icon positioning
- Removes custom `TypedEventHandlerExtensions` in favor of
`CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Deferred`.

The bad
- Since IconData lacks a unique identity, when it includes a stream, it
relies on simple reference equality, acknowledging that it might not be
stable. We might cache some obsolete garbage because of this, but it is
fast and better than nothing at all. Yet another task for the future me.

c5d4f992c1 Workspace: Fix an overlay issue for workspace snapshot draw (#45183) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
Root cause: Workspaces uses DPI-unaware coordinates (via
GetDpiUnawareScreens()
which runs in a temporary DPI-unaware thread) to store/match window
positions
across different DPI settings. However, WorkspacesEditor itself uses
PerMonitorV2
DPI awareness for UI clarity. When assigning these DPI-unaware
coordinates directly
to WPF window properties, WPF automatically scaled them again based on
current DPI,
causing incorrect overlay positioning.

Fix: Use SetWindowPositionDpiUnaware() to bypass WPF's automatic DPI
scaling
by temporarily switching to DPI-unaware context when calling Win32
SetWindowPos.

Fix #45174

## Summary of the Pull Request
Release pipeline is keeping failed, and local build failed at ut.

This pull request introduces changes to improve how test projects are
handled during release builds, ensuring that test code is not compiled
or analyzed when not needed - in doing release build, to - succeed the
execution and reduce built time.

And, to upgrade from VS17 to VS18 in cmdpal sdk build, this is to keep

6d4f56cd83 Always on top: Add transparent support for on topped window (#44815) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
Transparency support (best-effort)
> Not every window can be made transparent. Transparency is applied on a
best-effort basis and depends on how the target app/window is built and
rendered.

## When it may not work
* Windows with special rendering pipelines (e.g., certain
hardware-accelerated / compositor-managed surfaces).
* Some tool/popup/owned windows where the foreground window isn’t the
actual surface being drawn.

## How it works (high-level)
* Resolve the best target window (preferring the top-level/root window
over transient children).
* Apply Windows’ standard layered-window alpha mechanism (per-window
opacity) to adjust transparency.
* When unpinned, Restore the original opacity/state when possible.

If transparency doesn’t change, it means the window doesn’t support this
mechanism in its current configuration.

4986915dae CmdPal: Batch ViewModel property change notifications (#44545) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces batching for property change notifications emitted by
Command Palette view models. It also adds a secondary notification path
that is guaranteed to execute on a background thread.

- Introduces **`BatchUpdateManager`**, which batches
`INotifyPropertyChanged` events from view models and replays them in a
coordinated way.
- Slightly reduces UI thread contention and allows related UI updates to
be applied together, reducing visual "tearing" in list items (when
title, subtitle and icon are updated separately with slight delay).
Batching won't mitigate all occurences, but its good enough and works
auto-magically.
- Adds a complementary background notification event that:
  - Is guaranteed to run on a background thread.
  - Fires before UI-thread notifications.
- Allows consumers to attach handlers without blocking COM out-of-proc
objects.

- Updates `TopLevelViewModel` to subscribe to the background property
change event instead of the UI-thread one.
- This avoids unintentionally shifting work onto the UI thread and
re-triggering expensive operations there.
- Previously, because `TopLevelViewModel` wraps another view model and
our view models raise `INPC` on the UI thread by default, its handler
was executing on the UI thread and re-raising the event as
`IListItem.PropertyChanged`, causing `FetchProperty` methods to run on
the UI thread again.
- Ideally, `TopLevelViewModel` should be reworked to address this more
cleanly, but that turned out to be a non-trivial change. This PR applies
a targeted mitigation in the meantime.

0de2af77ac CmdPal: Make Calculator Great Again (#44594) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR continues the tradition of alphabetical progress. After
[MBGA](#41961), we move on to **MCBA — Make Calculator Better Again!**

- Introduces limited automatic correction and completion of expressions.
- The goal is to allow uninterrupted typing and avoid disruptions when a
partially entered expression is temporarily invalid (which previously
caused the result to be replaced by an error message or hidden by the
fallback).
  - The implementation intentionally aims for a sweet spot:
    - Ignores trailing binary operators.
    - Automatically closes all opened parentheses.
- It is not exhaustive; for example, incomplete constants or functions
may still result in an invalid query.
- Copy current result to the search bar.
- Adds an option to copy the current result to the search bar when the
user types `=` at the end of the expression.
  - Adds a new menu item for the same action.
  - Fixes the **Save** command to also copy the result to the query.
- Adds support for the `factorial(x)` function and the `x!` expression.
- Factorial calculations are supported up to `170!` (limited by
`double`), but display is constrained by decimal conversion and allows
direct display of results up to `20!`.
- Adds support for the `sign(x)` function.
- Adds support for the `π` symbol as an alternative to the `pi`
constant.
- Adds a context menu item to the result list item and fallback that
displays the octal representation of the result.
- Implements beautification of the query:
- Converts technical symbols such as `*` or `/` to `×` or `÷`,
respectively.
- Not enabled for fallbacks for now, since the item text should match
the query to keep the score intact.
- Implements additional normalization of symbols in the query:
  - Percent: `％`, `%`, `﹪`
  - Minus: `−`, `-`, `–`, `—`
  - Factorial: `！`, `!`
- Multiplication: `*`, `×`, `∗`, `·`, `⋅`, `✕`, `✖`, `\u2062` (invisible
times)
  - Division: `/`, `÷`, `➗`, `:`
- Allows use of `²` and `³` as alternatives to `^2` and `^3`.
- Updates the unit test that was culture sensitive to force en-US output
(not an actual fix, but at least it clears false positive for now)
- Fixes pre-parsing of scientific notation to prevent capturing minus
sign as part of it.
- Fixes normalization/rounding of the result, so it can display small
values (the current solution turned it into a string with scientific
notation and couldn't parse it back).
- Updates test with new cases

4694e99477 CmdPal: Upgrade FuzzyStringMatcher in the Command Palette Extensions SDK (#44809) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR upgrades the `FuzzyStringMatcher` used in the Command Palette
Extensions SDK with a focus on performance, memory efficiency, and
improved matching behavior, while preserving compatibility with the
existing API. This PR is a backwards compatible alternative to
precomputed fuzzy matcher introduces in another PR.

The new implementation is designed as a drop-in replacement. Any
behavioral differences are intentional and primarily related to improved
diacritic handling, scoring consistency, and correctness of highlight
positions.

Changes:
- Keeps the existing public API intact and preserves behavior in nearly
all cases.
- Enables diacritics-insensitive matching by default, improving results
across accented and non-English languages.
- Significantly improves performance, with measured speedups in the
range of ~5–20 times, depending on scenario and input size.
- Reduces heap allocations to near zero by using stack allocation and
pooled buffers instead of large per-match DP arrays.
- Simplifies and optimizes matching logic:
  - Folds the haystack only once per match.
  - Uses rolling DP buffers instead of `O(query × target)` tables.
- Replaces large match tables with a compact bitset when tracking
highlight positions.
- Improves consistency and correctness:
  - Normalizes path separators (`\` → `/`) during folding.
- Avoids returning highlight positions for PinYin-only matches where no
1:1 mapping exists.
- Introduces unit tests, including comparison tests against the legacy
implementation to validate compatibility.

64cabc8789 CmdPal: Fix window centering when moving to a display with different DPI (#45057) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR fixes centering of main window, when the window also moves
between move display with a different DPI.

- The centered position was calculated using the current window width
and height, but those values change after the window is moved to
accommodate the new display’s DPI.
- Calculations have been refactored out of main window to a helper
class.

5f124cec55 CmdPal: Cache and show information for disabled command providers (#44278) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR adds a cache of command provider information so we can show
providers even when the command provider isn’t loaded.

It also updates the description for disabled extensions on the
Extensions page to always include the extension name.

Finally, it adds a placeholder icon for cases where an extension icon
isn’t loaded. Note that this doesn’t address fully transparent icons
that some extensions may inherit from the default template.

8ec530c65e CmdPal: GEH per partes; part 1: error report builder, sanitizer and internals tools setting page (#44140) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR adds three parts of the original big bad global error handler
(error report builder, sanitization and internal tools UI).

### Error Report Generation

- `ErrorReportBuilder`: Produces a detailed, technical report with
system context.
- Comprehensive data: OS version, architecture, culture, app version,
elevation status, etc.
- Exception analysis: Coalesces nested exception messages and HRESULT
details for clearer diagnostics.

<details><summary>Example</summary>
<pre>

This is an error report generated by Windows Command Palette.
If you are seeing this, it means something went a little sideways in the
app.
You can help us fix it by filing a report at
https://aka.ms/powerToysReportBug.

(While you’re at it, give the details below a quick skim — just to make
sure there’s nothing personal you’d prefer not to share. It’s rare, but
sometimes little surprises sneak in.)

### PII Sanitization Framework

- `ErrorReportSanitizer`: Multi-layer sanitization pipeline for
sensitive data.
- Nine specialized rule providers:
- `PiiRuleProvider`: Personally identifiable information (emails, phone
numbers, SSNs).
- `ProfilePathAndUsernameRuleProvider`: Windows user profiles and
usernames.
- `NetworkRuleProvider`: IP addresses, MAC addresses, network
identifiers.
- `SecretKeyValueRulesProvider`: API keys, tokens, passwords in
key/value formats.
  - `FilenameMaskRuleProvider`: Sensitive file paths and extensions.
  - `UrlRuleProvider`: URLs and web addresses.
  - `TokenRuleProvider`: JWT and other auth tokens.
  - `ConnectionStringRuleProvider`: Database connection strings.
- `EnvironmentPropertiesRuleProvider`: Environment variables and system
properties.

### Internals Tools Page

A page in settings available in non-CI-builds:

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

**Build System & Configuration:**
- Updated `Cpp.Build.props` to use `v145` (VS 2026) as the default
`PlatformToolset`, with fall back to `v143` for VS 2022.
- Configured C++ Language Standard:
  - `stdcpplatest` for production projects.
- Removed explicit `<PlatformToolset>` definitions from individual
project files (approx. 37 modules) to inherit correctly from the central
`Cpp.Build.props`.

**Code Refactoring & Fixes:**
- Updated `DrawingHelperTests.cs` in MouseJump Unit Test to ease the
pixel difference tolerance. This became an issue after switching to the
new VS2026 build agent.
<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed

- Validated successful compilation of the entire solution. Similar
updates have been made to the .NET 10 branch, but these are much cleaner
and will be merged into that branch once fully confirmed working.

08715a6e46 CmdPal: Allow list item context menu (#45086) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR enables pointer-invoked context menus for list items when the
list contains at least one item, including the primary item.

The command bar "More" button or Ctrl+K hotkey remain unaffected - the
menu is not accessible through those.

13ce5db6b1 CmdPal: Add solution filter for Microsoft.CmdPal.Ext.PowerToys (#45096) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR adds a new solution filter (.slnf) for the
Microsoft.CmdPal.Ext.PowerToys extension project and its dependencies.

This is added as a separate solution filter alongside
CommandPalette.slnf, since the extension is not directly dependent on
Command Palette. Instead, it relies on the public SDK distributed via
NuGet. It also depends on other PowerToys projects, which would
unnecessarily clutter CommandPalette.slnf.

f0831742d6 CmdPal: Remove deadlock bait from AppListItem (#45076) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR removes a Task.Wait() call from lazy-loading AppListItem details
that could be invoked on the UI thread and lead to a deadlock.

It now follows the same pattern previously used for loading icons in the
same class, which has proven to work well.

Prevents #44938 from stepping on this landmine.

Cherry-picked from #44973.

0b3dc089ac [Peek] Fix Space key triggering during file rename (#44845) (#44995) 
Don't show error window when CurrentItem is null - just return silently.
This restores the original behavior where CaretVisible() detection in
GetSelectedItems() would suppress Peek by returning null, and no window
would be shown.

PR #44703 added an error window for virtual folders (Home/Recent), but
this also triggered when user was typing (rename, search, address bar),
stealing focus and cancelling the operation.

Fixes #44845

27dcd1e5bc Awake and DevEx improvements (#44795) 
This PR contains a set of bug fixes and general improvements to
[Awake](https://awake.den.dev/) and developer experience tooling for
building the module.

### Awake Fixes

- **#32544** - Fixed an issue where Awake settings became non-functional
after the PC wakes from sleep. Added `WM_POWERBROADCAST` handling to
detect system resume events (`PBT_APMRESUMEAUTOMATIC`,
`PBT_APMRESUMESUSPEND`) and re-apply `SetThreadExecutionState` to
restore the awake state.

- **#36150** - Fixed an issue where Awake would not prevent sleep when
AC power is connected. Added `PBT_APMPOWERSTATUSCHANGE` handling to
re-apply `SetThreadExecutionState` when the power source changes
(AC/battery transitions).

- **#41674** - Fixed silent failure when `SetThreadExecutionState`
fails. The monitor thread now handles the return value, logs an error,
and reverts to passive mode with updated tray icon.

- **#41738** - Fixed `--display-on` CLI flag default from `true` to
`false` to align with documentation and PowerToys settings behavior.
This is a breaking change for scripts relying on the undocumented
default.

- **#41918** - Fixed `WM_COMMAND` message processing flaw in
`TrayHelper.WndProc` that incorrectly compared enum values against enum
count. Added proper bounds checking for custom tray time entries.

- **#44134** - Documented that `ES_DISPLAY_REQUIRED` (used when "Keep
display on" is enabled) blocks Task Scheduler idle detection, preventing
scheduled maintenance tasks like SSD TRIM. Workaround: disable "Keep
display on" or manually run `Optimize-Volume -DriveLetter C -ReTrim`.

- **#38770** - Fixed tray icon failing to appear after Windows updates.
Increased retry attempts and delays for icon Add operations (10
attempts, up to ~15.5 seconds total) while keeping existing fast retry
behavior for Update/Delete operations.

- **#40501** - Fixed tray icon not disappearing when Awake is disabled.
The `SetShellIcon` function was incorrectly requiring an icon for Delete
operations, causing the `NIM_DELETE` message to never be sent.

- Fixed an issue where toggling "Keep screen on" during an active timed
session would disrupt the countdown timer. The display setting now
updates directly without restarting the timer, preserving the exact
remaining time.

### Performance Optimizations

- Fixed O(n²) loop in `TrayHelper.CreateAwakeTimeSubMenu` by replacing
`ElementAt(i)` with `foreach` iteration.

- Fixed Observable subscription leak in `Manager.cs` by storing
`IDisposable` and disposing in `CancelExistingThread()`. Also removed
dead `_tokenSource` code that was no longer used.

- Reduced allocations in `SingleThreadSynchronizationContext` by
changing `Tuple<>` to `ValueTuple`.

- Replaced dedicated exit event thread with
`ThreadPool.RegisterWaitForSingleObject()` to reduce resource usage.

### Code Quality

- Replaced `Console.WriteLine` with `Logger.LogError` in `TrayHelper.cs`
for consistent logging.

- Added proper error logging to silent exception catches in
`AwakeService.cs`.

- Removed dead `Math.Min(minutes, int.MaxValue)` code where `minutes` is
already an `int`.

- Extracted hardcoded tray icon ID to named constant `TrayIconId`.

- Standardized null coalescing for `GetSettings<AwakeSettings>()` calls
across all files.

### Debugging Experience Fixes

- Fixed first-chance exceptions in `settings_window.cpp` during
debugging. Added `HasKey()` check before accessing `hotkey_changed`
property to prevent `hresult_error` exceptions when the property doesn't
exist in module settings.

- Fixed first-chance exceptions in FindMyMouse `parse_settings` during
debugging. Refactored to extract the properties object once and added
`HasKey()` checks before all `GetNamedObject()` calls. This prevents
`winrt::hresult_error` exceptions when optional settings keys (like
legacy `overlay_opacity`) don't exist, improving the debugging
experience by eliminating spurious exception breaks.

- Fixed LightSwitch.UITests build failures when building from a clean
state. Added missing project references (`ManagedCommon`,
`LightSwitchModuleInterface`) with `ReferenceOutputAssembly=false` to
ensure proper build ordering, and added existence check for the native
DLL copy operation.

### Developer Experience

- Added `setup-dev-environment.ps1` script to automate development
environment setup.
- Added `clean-artifacts.ps1` script to resolve build errors from
corrupted build state or missing image files.
- Added build script that allows standalone command line build of the
Awake module.
- Added troubleshooting section to
`doc/devdocs/development/debugging.md` with guidance on resolving common
build errors.

b5e9f346da [CmdPal] Fix details pane not hiding when item initialization fails (#44757) 
Fixes #44487

## Summary
Fixed issue where the details pane would display stale information when
navigating from an item with details to an item without details or where
details failed to load.

## Changes
1. **ListViewModel.cs**: Added HideDetailsMessage when SafeSlowInit()
fails to ensure previous details are cleared
2. **InstallPackageListItem.cs**: Added exception handling for WinRT
marshaling errors when accessing metadata.Documentations and
metadata.Tags collections

The fix ensures graceful degradation - if certain metadata collections
fail to load due to WinRT issues, the details pane still displays
available information rather than failing completely.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
  The SpongebotPage example in initial-sdk-spec.md had two problems:

  Before:
```cs
  public void IFallbackHandler.UpdateQuery(string query) {
      // ...
      return Task.CompletedTask.AsAsyncCommand();
  }
```

  After:
```cs
  public void UpdateQuery(string query) {
      // ...
  }
```

 The fix aligns the example with actual implementations in the codebase.

53c5e66cce [UI Tests][Light Switch] Fix tests: LS, Hosts, Worspaces, Mouse (#44754) 
This pull request refactors the LightSwitch module to introduce a new
shared static library, `LightSwitchLib`, which centralizes theme
management logic and enables code sharing between the service and module
interface. The changes move theme-related code from the service and
module interface into this new library, update project references, and
clean up now-redundant files and includes.

**LightSwitchLib introduction and code deduplication:**

- Added a new static library project, `LightSwitchLib`, containing all
theme management logic (`SetSystemTheme`, `SetAppsTheme`,
`GetCurrentSystemTheme`, `GetCurrentAppsTheme`, `IsNightLightEnabled`)
and related files (`ThemeHelper.cpp`, `ThemeHelper.h`, `pch.h`,
`pch.cpp`). This code was previously duplicated in both the service and
module interface.

- Updated the solution file and relevant project files to add and
reference `LightSwitchLib` from both `LightSwitchService` and
`LightSwitchModuleInterface`, ensuring both components use the shared
implementation. (`PowerToys.slnx`
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-40c552fef4118125c3ccd6b156db518acec74b11150b193b31f18a2cc17a531eR668)

**Cleanup and removal of redundant code:**

- Removed old theme management code and headers from
`LightSwitchService` and `LightSwitchModuleInterface` now that logic
resides in `LightSwitchLib`. (`ThemeHelper.cpp`
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-3e2766504c1cf989390508c613b2177cd5de14fb9de46df3b416f95f955338bfL1-L106)

- Removed duplicated registry path constants from `SettingsConstants.h`,
as they are now defined in the shared header. (`SettingsConstants.h`

**Module interface improvements:**

- Added `ExportedFunctions.cpp` to the module interface, exposing theme
management functions as exports and using the shared library
implementation. (`ExportedFunctions.cpp`
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-48acf3b77a8b6ac6fd1129afe1a677b34447ce39454e86ea04f1a1181a23b546R1-R22)

**Minor test and logging adjustments:**

- Fixed a UI test to use the correct toggle name for the Hosts File
Editor. (`HostsSettingTests.cs`
[src/modules/Hosts/Hosts.UITests/HostsSettingTests.csL116-R116](diffhunk://#diff-3782109c99cd66a2c1b870a83d1f9d9807422479c89e03799b311ef5f13a2098L116-R116))
- Updated a log message to refer to `LightSwitchLib` instead of
`LightSwitchService` for clarity. (`ThemeHelper.cpp`

c8da70d6fa CmdPal: Replace assembly metadata attributes with preprocessor directives (#44707) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR replaces custom metadata attributes used to pass build-time
information with preprocessor directives. It appears that metadata can
be stripped from the final build output, even though it survived AOT in
earlier tests on the main and stable branches.

New preprocesor directives in Microsoft.CmdPal.UI:
- `BUILD_INFO_PUBLISH_AOT` - when `PublishAot` MSBuild parameter is
`true`
- `BUILD_INFO_PUBLISH_TRIMMED `- when `PublishTrimmed` MSBuild parameter
is `true`
- `BUILD_INFO_CIBUILD `- when `CIBuild` MSBuild parameter is `true`

Using preprocessor directives avoids this uncertainty and provides a
more reliable solution.

74448355f9 Peek: Show error message when activated in unsupported virtual folders (#44703) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request

When Peek is activated in virtual folders like Home or Recent, it now
displays a clear error message instead of showing a stuck loading state
or "Search in Microsoft Store" link.

### Problem
When users activate Peek (press the hotkey) in Windows virtual folders
such as Home or Recent, the Shell API (SVGIO_SELECTION) returns 0 items
because these folders don't support the standard file selection
retrieval mechanism. Previously, this caused:

- The Peek window to appear stuck in a loading state
- The "Search in Microsoft Store" fallback UI to display incorrectly
- Subsequent Peek activations to fail until the window was manually
closed

/>

### Solution

- Added a check in `Initialize()` to detect when no files are found
after querying the Shell
- Display an error InfoBar with a user-friendly message: "No files
selected or this folder is not supported for preview."
- Hide the `FilePreview` control when the error is shown to prevent
displaying irrelevant fallback UI
- Close the window automatically when the user dismisses the InfoBar
(clicks X)
