## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request introduces a minor but important update to the
`ContentIcon` control in the `Microsoft.CmdPal.UI` module. The changes
improve robustness by adding checks to prevent duplicate parenting of
the `Content` element and include a debug assertion for better
diagnostics during development.
## PR Checklist
- [x] Closes: #40928

- [ ] **Tests:** nope
- [ ] **Localization:** none
- [ ] **Dev docs:** nay
- [ ] **New binaries:** no nothing

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
### Key changes:
#### Diagnostics and robustness improvements:
* Added a `Debug.Assert` statement to verify that the `Content` element
is not already parented to another element, helping to catch potential
issues during development.
(`[src/modules/cmdpal/Microsoft.CmdPal.UI/Controls/ContentIcon.csR39-R49](diffhunk://#diff-330aad69f925cf7a9e07bb7147af8e6cd09776a4c745455ac8a91a24b482d076R39-R49)`)
* Introduced checks to ensure the `Content` element is not added to the
`Grid`'s `Children` collection if it already exists there, preventing
redundant operations.
(`[src/modules/cmdpal/Microsoft.CmdPal.UI/Controls/ContentIcon.csR39-R49](diffhunk://#diff-330aad69f925cf7a9e07bb7147af8e6cd09776a4c745455ac8a91a24b482d076R39-R49)`)
#### Code maintenance:
* Added a `using System.Diagnostics` directive to enable the use of the
`Debug` class for assertions.
(`[src/modules/cmdpal/Microsoft.CmdPal.UI/Controls/ContentIcon.csR5](diffhunk://#diff-330aad69f925cf7a9e07bb7147af8e6cd09776a4c745455ac8a91a24b482d076R5)`)

And then off and on again, just to be sure.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Click event on WinUI buttons handle more than just click and is more
versatile that Tapped event. When you tap a Button with a finger or
stylus, or press a left mouse button while the pointer is over it, the
button raises the Click event. If a button has keyboard focus, pressing
the Enter key or the Spacebar key also raises the Click event.
This PR also replaces the right-tapped event on items on the list page
with context menu handling, allowing other input gestures (such as
Shift+F10) to also display the context menu.
And finally, it adds a button to the status messages badge so that the
flyout can be opened using the keyboard.

I just blindly moved all the messages. But _this_ one really makes more
sense as a UI message. It's got framework elements. It us used to
actually open a UI element. The whole thing is very UI specific.
re: #40113
This PR improves the command bar UI in the command palette.
- Replaced ellipses "..." with a "More" label (can be changed to
something else. Maybe "Actions" or "Commands")
- Added a textblock for Ctrl + K shortcut
- Removed tooltip that showed Ctrl + K shortcut when hovering over
previous "..."
Special Note:
- The InfoBar.Severity binding was temporarily commented out because of
a built-time error even though 'State' property is present in the
ViewModel. Happy to revisit this if the team can help/confirm the
intended binding context/behavior

## Summary of the Pull Request
IconBox controls no longer receive keyboard focus by default. as their
focus state is not visually represented and they serve primarily as
decorative roles in the application. For cases where keyboard navigation
on an IconBox is desired, focusability can be enabled explicitly on the
specific instance.

## Validation Steps Performed
_⚠️ targets #39955_
This adds history support to the new run page.
* It'll initialize the history with the history from the run dialog, if
there is any.
* Any new commands that are run, or files/dirs that are opened will also
get added to the history
* history will persist across reboots
This entirely rewrites the shell page. It feels a lot more like the old
run dialog now.
* It's got icons for files & exes
* it can handle network paths
* it can handle `commands /with args...`
* it'll suggest files in that path as you type
* it handles `%environmentVariables%`
* it handles `"Paths with\spaces in them"`
* it shows you the path as a suggestion, in the text box, as you move
the selection
References:
Closes#39044Closes#39419Closes#38298Closes#40311
### Remaining todo's
* [x] Remove the `GenerateAppxManifest` change, and file something to
fix that. We are still generating msix's on every build, wtf
* [x] Clean-up code
* [x] Double-check loc
* [x] Remove a bunch of debug printing that we don't need anymore
* [ ] File a separate PR for moving the file (indexer) commands into a
common project, and re-use those here
* [x] Add history support again! I totally tore that out
* did that in #40427
* [x] make `shell:` paths and weird URI's just work. Good test is
`x-cmdpal://settings`
### further optimizations that probably aren't blocking
* [x] Our fast up-to-date is clearly broken, but I think that's been
broken since early 0.91
* [x] If the exe doesn't change, we don't need to create a new ListItem
for it. We can just re-use the current one, and just change the args
* [ ] if the directory hasn't changed, but we typed more chars (e.g.
`c:\windows\s` -> `c:\windows\sys`), we should cache the ListItem's from
the first query, and re-use them if possible.
_targets #40504_
Major refactoring for #40113
This moves a large swath of the codebase to a `.Core` project. "Core"
doesn't have any explicit dependencies on "extensions", settings or the
current `MainListPage`. It's just a filterable list of stuff. This
should let us make this component a bit more reusable.
This is half of a PR. As I did this, I noticed a particular bit of code
for TopLevelVViewModels and CommandPaletteHost that was _very rough_.
Solving it in this PR would make "move everything to a new project" much
harder to review. So I'm submitting two PRs simultaneously, so we can
see the changes separately, then merge together.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Base on https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/40486 we can easily
use lab package. So all blocker has been resolved.
1. Replace CommunityToolkit.WinUI.UI.Controls.Markdown with
CommunityToolkit.Labs.WinUI.Controls.MarkdownTextBlock
2. Add default markdown style config to align some configuration with
the original one. (but still have some gap)
3. Add new configuration in pipeline to control the AOT enable/disable.

Previously, the `KeyDown` handler for `Alt+Left Arrow` was not invoked
if the search bar contained text. By moving the logic to the
`PreviewKeyDown` handler, we ensure the shortcut is handled regardless
of the search bar’s content.
The handler was added to the `ShellPage`'s `PreviewKeyDown` handler,
rather than the one on `SearchBar`. This will allow the shortcut to be
available throughout the entire window and will ensure it works from
within the page content, e.g. from forms

Refactored ContextMenu into it's own control to allow displaying in
CommandBar and in response to right click on list items.
- Adds "critical" styling to context menu items flagged as `IsCritical`.
This will use the theme to style with correct color.
- Added `SeparatorContextItem` and modified `MoreCommands` to allow for
both `CommandContextItem`s and `SeparatorContextItem`s.
- Right clicking a list item with a context menu will open the context
menu at the position of the click and position the filter box at the top
of the context menu.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Fixes spelling issues and spell checker warnings
This lets us auto-focus the first input on a `IFormContent`, if there's
only one `IContent` on the page.
This dramatically improves the usability for forms, since we'll
immediately put focus into them
Closes#38436
_targets #38573_
At first I just wanted to add support for nested context menus.
But then I also had to add a search box, so the focus wouldn't get weird.
End result:

This gets rid of the need to have the search box and the command bar both track item keybindings - now it's just in the command bar.
Closes#38299Closes#38442
* [x] Re-adds the context menu shortcut text
* [x] Hooks up the keybindings to the search box so that you can just press the keys while you have an item selected, and do a context command
* [x] Hook these keybindings up to the context flyout itself
* [x] Adds a sample for testing
Solves #38271
## Summary of the Pull Request
Fix#38337 and implement continuous navigation like PT Run v1
<!-- Please review the items on the PR checklist before submitting-->
## PR Checklist
- [x] **Closes:** #38337
- Removing the redundant icon + text in the bottom left corner
- Minor styling tweaks
- Adding subtle show/hide animations
- Improved narrator support for Settings button
- Minor design tweaks to the tags for better visibility (still needs more work in the future)

Both `TopLevelCommandItemWrapper` and `TopLevelViewModel` were really the same thing. The latter was from an earlier prototype, and the former is a more correct, safer abstraction. We really should have only ever used the former, but alas, we only used it for the SUI, and it piggy-backed off the latter, and that meant the latter's bugs became the former's.
tldr: I made the icon access safe in the SUI.
And while I was doing this, because we now have a cleaner VM abstraction here in the host, we can actually cleanly disable extensions, because the `CommandProviderWrapper` knows which `ViewModel`s it made.

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
