1e3429dd3a Introduce worktree helper scripts for faster multi-branch development in PowerToys (#42076) 
<!-- 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 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.
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-8a335544864c1630d7f9bec6f4113c10d84b8e26054996735da41516ad93e173R1-R120)

**Documentation:**

* Introduced `Wokrtree-Guidelines.md`, a comprehensive guide covering
the purpose, usage, flows, naming conventions, troubleshooting, and best
practices for the new worktree scripts.

668820cf2c Spellchecker: resolve warnings (#42202) 
## 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.

## 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

55f0bcc441 CmdPal: Make Bookmarks Great and Fast Again (#41961) 
## Summary of the Pull Request


This PR improves recognition and classification of bookmarks, allowing
CmdPal to recognize almost anything sensible a user can throw at
it—while being forgiving of common input issues (such as unquoted spaces
in paths, etc.).

Extended classification and exploration of edge cases also revealed
limitations in the current implementation, which reloaded all bookmarks
on every change. This caused visible UI lag and could lead to issues
like unintentionally adding the same bookmark multiple times.

### tl;dr

More details below

- Introduces `BookmarkManager` (async saves, thread-safe, immutable,
unique IDs, separate persistence).
- Adds `BookmarkResolver` (classification, Shell-like path/exe
resolution, better icons).
- `BookmarkListItem` now refreshes independently; Name is optional
(Shell fallback).
- Uses Shell API for user-friendly names and paths.  
- Adds `IIconLocator`, protocol icon support, Steam custom icon,
fallback icons and improved `FaviconLoader` (handles redirects). Every
bookmark should now have icon, so we have consistent UI without gaps.
- Refactors placeholders (`IPlaceholderParser`), adds tests, restricts
names to `[a-zA-Z0-9_-]`, excludes GUIDs.
- Reorganizes structure, syncs icons/key chords with AllApps/Indexer.  
- For web and protocol bookmarks URL-encodes placeholder values
- **Performance:** avoids full reloads, improves scalability, reduces UI
lag.
- **Breaking change:** stricter placeholder rules, bookmark command ids.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

### Changes

- **Bookmark Manager**  
  - Introduces a `BookmarkManager` class that:  
    - Holds bookmarks in memory and saves changes asynchronously.  
    - Is safe to operate from multiple threads.  
    - Uses immutable data for transport.  
    - Separates the **persistence model** from in-memory data.  
    - Assigns explicit unique IDs to bookmarks.  
- These IDs also serve as stable top-level command identifiers, enabling
aliases and shortcuts to be bound reliably.

- **Bookmark Resolver**  
- Determines the type of a bookmark (`CommandKind`: file, web link,
command, etc.).
  - Detects its target and parameters.  
- Returns a `Classification` object containing all information needed to
present the bookmark to the user (icon, primary command, context menu
actions, etc.).
- For unquoted local paths, attempts to find the *longest viable
matching path* to a file or executable, automatically handling spaces in
paths (e.g., `C:\Program Files`).
- The resolution of executables from the command line now more closely
matches **Windows Shell** behavior.
    - Users are more likely to get the correct result.  
    - Icons can be determined more reliably.  

- **Bookmark List Items**  
- Each top-level bookmark item (`BookmarkListItem`) is now responsible
for presenting itself.
  - Items refresh their state independently on load or after changes.  
  - The **Name** field is now optional.  
- If no explicit name is provided, a user-friendly fallback name is
computed automatically using the Shell API.
- Context actions are now more in line with **All Apps** and **Indexer**
built-in extensions, matching items, icons, and shortcuts (still a work
in progress).

- **Shell API Integration**  
- Uses the Shell API to provide friendly names and paths for shell or
file system items, keeping the UI aligned with the OS.

- **Protocol and Icon Support**  
  - Adds `IIconLocator` and protocol icon support.  
- Provides a custom icon for **Steam**, since Steam registers its
protocol to an executable not on the path (and the Steam protocol is
expected to be a common case).
  - Adds `FaviconLoader` for web links.  
- Can now follow redirects and retrieve the favicon even if the server
takes the request on a “sightseeing tour.”
- Provides **Fluent Segoe fallback icons** that match the bookmark
classification when no specific icon is available.

- **Refactors and Reorganization**  
  - Extracts `IPlaceholderParser` for testability and reusability.  
- Renames `Bookmarks` → `BookmarksData` to prevent naming collisions.
  - Reorganizes the structure (reducing root-level file clutter).  
  - Synchronizes icons and key chords with AllApps/Indexer.  
- Refactors placeholder parsing logic and **adds tests** to improve
reliability.

- **Misc**
- Correctly URL-encodes placeholder values in Web URL or protocol
bookmarks.

---

### Performance Improvements

- Eliminates full reloads of all bookmarks on every change.  
- Improves scalability when working with a large number of bookmarks.  
- Independent refresh of list items reduces UI lag and improves
responsiveness.
- Asynchronous persistence prevents blocking the UI thread on saves.  

---

### Breaking Changes

- **Placeholders**  
- Placeholder names are now restricted to letters (`a–z`, `A–Z`), digits
(`0–9`), uderscore (`_`), hyphen (`-`).
- GUIDs are explicitly excluded as valid placeholders to prevent
collisions with shell IDs.
- When presented to the user, placeholders are considered
case-insensitive.
- ** Bookmark Top-Level Command
- **Bookmark Top-Level Command**  
  - IDs for bookmark commands are now based on a unique identifier.  
  - This breaks existing bindings to shortcuts and aliases.  
- Newly created bindings will be stable regardless of changes to the
bookmark (name, address, or having placeholders).
  -

7b7bae2889 CmdPal: Enable loading local images in MarkdownContent (#41754) 
Add a new image provider for `MarkdownTextBlock` that allows loading
images from additional sources:

- **file scheme**  
  - Enables loading images using the `file:` scheme.  
- Intentionally restricts file URIs to absolute paths to ensure correct
resolution when passed through the CmdPal extension/host boundary. (In
most cases, 3rd-party extensions will provide the paths, but the CmdPal
host performs the actual loading and would otherwise resolve paths
relative to itself.)

- **data scheme**  
- Enables loading images from URIs with the `data:` scheme (both Base64
and URL-encoded forms).
- Note: the Markdown control itself cannot handle large input and may
hang before the code introduced in this PR is invoked.

- **ms-appx scheme**  
  - This scheme is now supported for loading images.  
- However, since the Command Palette host performs the loading,
`ms-appx:` resolution applies to the host and not the extensions, which
limits its usefulness.

- **ms-appdata scheme**  
  - This scheme is now supported for loading images.  
- Similar to `ms-appx:`, resolution applies to the host, not the
extensions, limiting its usefulness.

---

Additionally, this PR introduces the concept of **_image source
hints_**, implemented as query string parameters piggy-backed on the
original URI.
These hints allow users to influence the behavior of images within
Markdown content.

- `--x-cmdpal-fit`
  - `none`: no automatic scaling, provides image as is (default)
  - `fit`: scale to fit the available space
- `--x-cmdpal-upscale`
  - `true`: allow upscaling
  - `false`: downscale only (default)
- `--x-cmdpal-width`: desired width in pixels
- `--x-cmdpal-height`: desired height in pixels
- `--x-cmdpal-maxwidth`: max width in pixels
- `--x-cmdpal-maxheight`: max height in pixels 

--- 

Since `MarkdownTextBlock` requires conforming to the `IImageProvider`
interface—which accepts only a raw URI and must return an `Image`
control—this PR also introduces a new class `RtbInlineImageFactory`.

The factory hooks into the root text block upon loading and listens for
events related to **layout** and **DPI changes**, ensuring that images
adapt correctly to the control’s environment.

```csharp
public interface IImageProvider
{
    Task<Image> GetImage(string url);
    bool ShouldUseThisProvider(string url);
}
```

0edf06bb5f CmdPal: Window Walker - detect UWP apps and prevent "Unresponsive" tag on them (#41938) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces detection of UWP processes and skips evaluation of
the Process.Responding property for them.

The Process.Responding property is only reliable for Win32 apps. For UWP
processes, relying on this property can produce incorrect results. With
this change, UWP apps will no longer be flagged with an Unresponsive tag
due to misleading property values.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
This pull request adds support for developing and debugging PowerToys
using Visual Studio Code by introducing a new launch configuration and
comprehensive developer documentation. These changes make it easier for
contributors to build, debug, and iterate on both native and managed
components of PowerToys within VS Code.

**VS Code integration and developer workflow:**

* Added `.vscode/launch.json` with configurations for launching and
attaching to native (`PowerToys.exe`) and managed
(`PowerToys.Settings.exe`) processes, supporting both C++ and .NET
debugging scenarios.
* Introduced `doc/devdocs/development/dev-with-vscode.md`, a detailed
guide covering VS Code setup, building, debugging, and common developer
workflows for the PowerToys project. This includes extension
recommendations, shell integration, sample build commands, and
troubleshooting tips.

cb79a00aeb Add the first copilot-instructions.md (#41518) 
This pull request introduces concise, area-specific contributor guides
for the PowerToys repository. Each major code area now has its own
instructions file, clarifying scope, coding guidelines, and acceptance
criteria. This helps ensure consistency, reduces onboarding friction,
and sets clear expectations for contributors.
Reference doc:
https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/configure-custom-instructions/add-repository-instructions

New contributor guides added:

**General/Top-level guidance**
- Added `.github/copilot-instructions.md` as a concise, top-level guide
for AI-driven changes, including a repo map, build/test workflow, PR
expectations, and quick reference checklists.

**Area-specific instructions**
- Added `src/common/common.instructions.md` for shared libraries,
covering ABI stability, logging, performance, and dependency policies.
- Added `src/runner/runner.instructions.md` for the Runner/tray host,
detailing module management, IPC contract alignment, startup
performance, and elevation/update logic.
- Added `src/settings-ui/settings-ui.instructions.md` for the Settings
UI, with guidance on schema changes, IPC contract sync, UI
responsiveness, and style reuse.

1887c22e87 CmdPal: Did someone say grid pages? (#40832) 
Closes #38269

Still working on this one, but essentially allows a list page to become
a grid page by specifying a `GridProperties` property like so:

```C#
public AllAppsPage()
{
    PlaceholderText = Resources.search_installed_apps_placeholder;
    GridProperties = new MediumGridLayout();
}
```

> This is a very early version and very subject to change. Much to
clean, but feedback & suggestions are welcome.

347c3f1efa CmdPal: Enhance font icon classification and visuals (#41573) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

- Introduces `FontIconGlyphClassifier` for classifying emojis and
symbols.
- Correctly recognizes multi-codepoint glyphs (e.g., 🧙🏼‍♀️ *woman mage
with medium-light skin tone*).
- Explicitly disallows multi-glyph icons (they would overflow anyway).
- Distinguishes between emojis and regular text characters (letters,
numbers, symbols), since emojis are slightly larger and require
different padding.
- Recognizes Unicode [Variation
Selectors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variation_Selectors_(Unicode_block))
to enforce specific styles: VS15 (U+FE0E) for text style (monochrome)
and VS16 (U+FE0F) for emoji style (color). This lets developers choose
which variant to display. By default, characters with both
representations render as text/monochrome (e.g., ▶ `\u25B6`):
<img width="428" height="39" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c5e6865f-61de-4f45-9f3a-4e15e5e5ceb8"
/>
- Invalid icons are displayed as a dashed circle so extension developers
can spot issues, without being overly distracting if they slip into
production.

- Updates `IconPathConverter` to use the new classifier for improved
icon handling.
- Adds `SampleIconPage` to demonstrate various icon usages and
classifications.
- Adjusts icon alignment in `IconBox` so icons are centered.  
- Scales negative padding for emojis in `IconBox` with control size,
fixing misalignment and clipping (noticeable in tags and the details
pane hero image).
- Applies negative padding to all font icons. This removes the need for
classification in these cases and ensures symbols rendered below the
baseline remain visible.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
I added a new file, `Commands/UninstallApplicationCommand.cs`, which
implements the logic to uninstall applications directly from the Command
Palette. The command differentiates between UWP apps and Win32 programs.
All common error scenarios are properly handled and logged to ensure
reliability and traceability.

Additionally, in `Icons.cs`, I included the "Delete" icon from the
Windows Start menu to be displayed alongside the uninstall commands in
the Command List, providing a familiar visual cue for users.

The uninstall commands have been integrated into the appropriate classes
for both UWP and Win32 applications, making them fully accessible and
consistent across the Command Palette.
The command can be triggered using the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + Delete
for quick access.

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests

## Validation Steps Performed
Tested locally; currently, verification was limited to uninstalling a
UWP application, unsure of additional test scenarios.

*Note: This is my first PR draft, so apologies if I missed anything.*

- Reverts related entries in `exclude.txt` that triggered a forbidden
pattern error in the spell checker.

2d35fd8530 [Fix] Adding Toolkit's TitleBar manually (#41383) 
Temp fix for a VS bug when building the `PowerToys.Settings` project. 

There seems to be something wrong with the Labs TitleBar package, so
following up with the team to get it resolved. Meanwhile, I've moved the
Toolkit's source code for TitleBar to Settings as a custom control.

Once the package is fixed we can revert this change.

## AI summary
This pull request introduces infrastructure and code to support search
functionality for PowerToys settings, including a new search index
specification, a dedicated search library, and updates to the solution
configuration. The main changes are the addition of a spec describing
how settings should be indexed and navigated, the creation of a new
`Common.Search` project with a fuzz search implementation, and updates
to the solution file to include these new components.

**Settings Search Feature Implementation**

* Documentation:
* Added a detailed specification (`settings-search.md`) describing the
structure of PowerToys settings pages, how to index settings, navigation
logic, runtime search, result grouping, build-time indexing strategy,
and corner cases.

* New Search Library:
* Added the new `Common.Search` project to the solution, including its
project file and implementation of a fuzz search service
(`FuzzSearchService<T>`), match options, match results, and search
precision scoring.

* Solution Configuration:
* Updated `PowerToys.sln` to include `Common.Search` and
`Settings.UI.XamlIndexBuilder` projects, and configured their build
settings for various platforms and mapped project dependencies.

**Spell-check Dictionary Updates**

as `Navigatable`, `NavigatablePage`, `settingscard`, `Tru`, `tweakable`)
to the spell-check dictionary to support the new search and indexing
features.

64dc8e0f27 [Installer] Upgrade the installer from WiX3 to WiX5 (#40877) 
<!-- 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
Background: The current PowerToys installer is built using Wix3, which
has now been deprecated. To improve security, service quality, and
community support, we’re upgrading the installer to Wix5.

Implementation:
Created Wix5-based projects(PowerToysSetupVext and
PowerToysSetupCustomActionsVNext) within the installer while retaining
the existing Wix3 project. Both versions are built to generate separate
installation packages. The Wix3-related code will be removed after
successful release testing confirms no issues.

Special case:
Wix5 has removed the property for 'ShowFilesInUse'. Now, whenever a file
is in use during installation, a FilesInUse pop-upwill automatically
appear asking for the next step. To ensure this doesn't interfere with
scenarios that require silent installation (e.g. Winget method), we’ve
handled it using the bafunction approach.

9c285856bf [UI tests] Add accessibility IDs to FancyZones to fix part UI tests (#41316) 
<!-- 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
Not sure why some text changed — for example, this button was ‘Launch
layout editor’, but in the UI it now shows as ‘Open layout editor’, so
it can’t be found :
<img width="1159" height="87" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d407a8fc-2876-4a85-9637-14d5923493d2"
/>

But using accessibility IDs is always more reliable.

df08d98a81 Implement "Gliding cursor" accessibility feature (#41221) 
## Summary of the Pull Request
Added '[Gliding
Cursor](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/37097)'
functionality to Mouse Pointer Crosshairs, this enables a single
hotkey/Microsoft Adaptive Hub + button to control cursor movement and
clicking. This is implemented as an extension to the existing Mouse
Pointer Crosshairs module.

Testing has been manual, ensuring that the existing Mouse Pointer
Crosshairs functionality is unchanged, and that the new Gliding Cursor
functionality works alongside Mouse Pointer Crosshairs.


![FlowPointer2](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ede40fe5-d749-45d1-bd8d-627dda2927a3)

<img width="857" height="438" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b9e7ee72-dfeb-4d20-93a5-a34e8b10d703"
/>


To test this functionality:
- Open Mouse Crosshair settings and make sure the feature is enabled.
- Press the shortcut to start the gliding cursor — a vertical line
appears.
- Press the shortcut again to slow the vertical line.
- Press once more to fix the vertical line; a horizontal line begins
moving.
- Press again to slow the horizontal line.
- When the lines meet at your target, press the shortcut to perform the
click.

* Added a 10ms tick for Gliding cursor for crosshairs/cursor movement
* Added state for gliding functionality - horiz fast, horiz slow, vert
fast, vert slow, click
* added gates around the existing mouse movement hook to prevent mouse
movement when gliding


## Validation Steps Performed
Manual testing has been completed on several PCs to confirm the
following:
* Existing Mouse Pointer Crosshairs functionality is unchanged
* Gliding cursor settings are persisted/used by the gliding cursor code
* Gliding cursor restores Mouse Pointer Crosshairs state after the final
click has completed.

## Summary of the Pull Request

Listener registers a hook on WH_KEYBOARD and raises an event when a key
is pressed down. Main window then uses it to handle the GoBack key that
we can't reach any other way.

3a0487f74a cmdpal: Add "file" context items to the run items too (#40768) 
After #39955, the "exe" items from the shell commands only ever have the
"Run{as admin, as other user}" commands. This adds the rest of the
"file" commands - copy path, open in explorer, etc.

This shuffles around some commands into the toolkit and common commands
project to make this easier.

d37105bf84 [UI Tests] Replace pixel-by-pixel image comparison with perceptual hash (pHash) for improved visual similarity detection (#40653) 
<!-- 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 replaces the previous pixel-by-pixel image comparison logic with
a perceptual hash (pHash)-based comparison using the
CoenM.ImageSharp.ImageHash library.

**Removes the need for golden images from CI pipelines**
Since the comparison is perceptual rather than binary, we no longer need
to fetch pixel-perfect golden images from pipelines for validation.
Developers can now capture screenshots locally and still get meaningful,
robust comparisons.

### Why pHash?
Unlike direct pixel comparison (which fails on minor rendering
differences), pHash focuses on the overall structure and visual
perception of the image. This provides several benefits:

- Robust to minor differences: tolerates compression artifacts,
anti-aliasing, subtle rendering changes, and border padding.
- Resilient to resolution or format changes: works even if images are
scaled or compressed differently.
- Closer to human perception: more accurately reflects whether two
images "look" the same to a person.
