## Summary of the Pull Request
**Root Cause:**
The current pipeline builds the entire solution and runs all UI tests
every time, which takes more than 2 hours to complete.
**Fix**
Make the PowerToys UI test pipeline provides flexible options for
building and testing:
### Pipeline Options
- **useLatestOfficialBuild**: When checked, downloads the latest
official PowerToys build and installs it for testing. This skips the
full solution build and only builds UI test projects.
- **useCurrentBranchBuild**: When checked along with
`useLatestOfficialBuild`, downloads the official build from the current
branch instead of main.
- **uiTestModules**: Specify which UI test modules to build and run.
Examples:
- `UITests-FancyZones` - Only FancyZones UI tests
- `MouseUtils.UITests` - Only MouseUtils UI tests
- `['UITests-FancyZones', 'MouseUtils.UITests']` - Multiple specific
modules
- Leave empty to build and run all UI test modules
### Build Modes
1. **Official Build + Selective Testing** (`useLatestOfficialBuild =
true`)
- Downloads and installs official PowerToys build
- Builds only specified UI test projects
- Runs specified UI tests against installed PowerToys
- Controlled by `uiTestModules` parameter
2. **Full Build + Testing** (`useLatestOfficialBuild = false`)
- Builds entire PowerToys solution
- Builds UI test projects (all or specific based on `uiTestModules`)
- Runs UI tests (all or specific based on `uiTestModules`)
- Uses freshly built PowerToys for testing

## Summary of the Pull Request
Telemetry.write will serialize all of the whole object graph. So we need
to ensure it will not be trimmed.
This is a safe PR because it doesn't apply any logic change. If you
disable the AOT feature, this PR won't take any effect.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR updates all application manifest files across the PowerToys
codebase to use **PerMonitorV2** DPI awareness, ensuring optimal
high-DPI display support on modern Windows systems.
## Changes Made
Updated **12 manifest files** to include proper PerMonitorV2 DPI
awareness:
### Files with New DPI Support Added:
- `src/runner/PowerToys.exe.manifest` - Added complete DPI awareness
section
- `src/modules/awake/Awake/app.manifest` - Upgraded from basic
`dpiAware` to PerMonitorV2
### Files Upgraded from PerMonitor to PerMonitorV2:
- `src/modules/colorPicker/ColorPickerUI/App.manifest`
- `src/modules/MouseWithoutBorders/App/MouseWithoutBorders.exe.manifest`
### Files Enhanced for Consistency:
- `src/modules/ShortcutGuide/ShortcutGuide/ShortcutGuide.exe.manifest`
- `src/modules/ZoomIt/ZoomIt/Zoomit.exe.manifest`
- All 5 cmdpal extension manifests
## Technical Implementation
All manifests now use the standardized format that provides:
1. **PerMonitorV2** as the primary DPI awareness mode for Windows 10
Anniversary Update and later
3. **`true/PM`** for backward compatibility with pre-Windows 10 systems
```xml
<application xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<windowsSettings>
<dpiAware xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">true/PM</dpiAware>
<dpiAwareness xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2016/WindowsSettings">PerMonitorV2, PerMonitor</dpiAwareness>
</windowsSettings>
</application>
```

## Summary of the Pull Request
Fixed build warnings WMC1510 in `HostsMainPage.xaml` that were
preventing proper AOT (Ahead-of-Time) compilation compatibility for XAML
data bindings.
### Problem
The Hosts module was generating multiple WMC1510 warnings during build:
```
src\modules\Hosts\HostsUILib\HostsMainPage.xaml(614,13): Warning WMC1510: Ensure the property path is trimming and AOT compatible by making use of 'Compiled Bindings (x:bind)' if possible or by specifying the 'x:DataType' directive...
```
These warnings occurred on 6 different binding expressions in the
EntryDialog ContentDialog that bound to properties of the `Entry` model
class.
### Solution
Applied the recommended fix by adding proper type information for the
XAML compiler:
1. **Added `x:DataType="models:Entry"`** to the ContentDialog element to
specify the binding context type
2. **Added `[Bindable]` attribute** to the Entry model class to ensure
WinRT compatibility
### Changes Made
- **HostsMainPage.xaml**: Added `x:DataType="models:Entry"` attribute to
the EntryDialog ContentDialog
- **Entry.cs**: Added `[Bindable]` attribute and `using
Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Data;` directive
<!-- Provide a more detailed description of the PR, other things fixed,
or any additional comments/features here -->
## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
- ✅ Resolves all 6 WMC1510 warnings in the specified lines
- ✅ Ensures AOT compilation compatibility
- ✅ No functional changes to UI behavior
- ✅ Minimal code changes (3 lines total)
- ✅ Follows Microsoft's recommended approach for WinRT data binding
The fix enables proper trimming and AOT compilation while maintaining
all existing functionality.
<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests

Windows Command Palette ("CmdPal") is the next iteration of PowerToys Run. With extensibility at its core, the Command Palette is your one-stop launcher to start _anything_.
By default, CmdPal is bound to <kbd>Win+Alt+Space</kbd>.


----
This brings the current preview version of CmdPal into the upstream PowerToys repo. There are still lots of bugs to work out, but it's reached the state we're ready to start sharing it with the world. From here, we can further collaborate with the community on the features that are important, and ensuring that we've got a most robust API to enable developers to build whatever extensions they want.
Most of the built-in PT Run modules have already been ported to CmdPal's extension API. Those include:
* Installed apps
* Shell commands
* File search (powered by the indexer)
* Windows Registry search
* Web search
* Windows Terminal Profiles
* Windows Services
* Windows settings
There are a couple new extensions built-in
* You can now search for packages on `winget` and install them right from the palette. This also powers searching for extensions for the palette
* The calculator has an entirely new implementation. This is currently less feature complete than the original PT Run one - we're looking forward to updating it to be more complete for future ingestion in Windows
* "Bookmarks" allow you to save shortcuts to files, folders, and webpages as top-level commands in the palette.
We've got a bunch of other samples too, in this repo and elsewhere
### PowerToys specific notes
CmdPal will eventually graduate out of PowerToys to live as its own application, which is why it's implemented just a little differently than most other modules. Enabling CmdPal will install its `msix` package.
The CI was minorly changed to support CmdPal version numbers independent of PowerToys itself. It doesn't make sense for us to start CmdPal at v0.90, and in the future, we want to be able to rev CmdPal independently of PT itself.
Closes#3200, closes#3600, closes#7770, closes#34273, closes#36471, closes#20976, closes#14495

TODOs et al
**Blocking:**
- [ ] Images and descriptions in Settings and OOBE need to be properly defined, as mentioned before
- [ ] Niels is on it
- [x] Doesn't start properly from PowerToys unless the fix PR is merged.
- https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/pull/556 merged
- [x] I seem to lose focus a lot when I press on some limits, like between the search bar and the results.
- This is https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/issues/427
- [x] Turned off an extension like Calculator and it was still working.
- Need to get rid of that toggle, it doesn't do anything currently
- [x] `ListViewModel.<FetchItems>` crash
- Pretty confident that was fixed in https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/pull/553
**Not blocking / improvements:**
- Show the shortcut through settings, as mentioned before, or create a button that would open CmdPalette settings.
- When PowerToys starts, CmdPalette is always shown if enabled. That's weird when just starting PowerToys/ logging in to the computer with PowerToys auto-start activated. I think this should at least be a setting.
- Needing to double press a result for it to do the default action seems quirky. If one is already selected, I think just pressing should be enough for it to do the action.
- This is currently a setting, though we're thinking of changing the setting even more: https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/issues/392
- There's no URI extension. Was surprised when typing a URL that it only proposed a web search.
- [x] There's no System commands extension. Was expecting to be able to quickly restart the computer by typing restart but it wasn't there.
- This is in PR https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/pull/452

## Summary of the Pull Request
First step on self containment. Once #34055 goes in, this number of
modified files should go way down.
Common.Selfcontained.props is the new item and
src/dsc/PowerToys.Settings.DSC.Schema.Generator/PowerToys.Settings.DSC.Schema.Generator.csproj
would be an example of a file that had SelfContained set to true prior
and now that logic was moved into a single file.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This is a follow up on #33964 where using the MSTest meta package brings
in all necessary test dependencies as well as enabled MSTest.Analyzers
for common test code misconfigurations. Coverlet package has not been
used, thus removing.
- Add missing metadata to the packages.
-Build for any CPU, so the nuget packages can be used for any architecture.
-Remove the WinUIEx from the UI libraries, since it's unneeded. (It's only used by the app that consumes the libraries in our case).
- Remove the xbf files, which are unneeded.
- Release CI packs and signs the nuget packages.
