6e5ad11bc3 CmdpPal: SearchBox visibility and async loading race (#42783)
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces two related fixes to improve the stability and
reliability of navigation and search UI behavior in the shell:

- **Ensure search box visibility is correctly updated**  
- `ShellViewModel` previously set `IsSearchBoxVisible` after navigation
to the page, but didn’t update it when the value changed. While the
value isn’t expected to change dynamically, the property initialization
is asynchronous, which could cause a race condition.
- As a defensive measure, this also changes the default value of
uninitialized property to make it visible by default.

- **Cancel asynchronous focus placement if navigation changes**  
- Ensures that any pending asynchronous focus operation is cancelled
when another navigation occurs before it completes.

82dc4cdc18 [CmdPal] Replace complex cancellation token mechanism with a simple task queue. (#42356)
<!-- 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
Just consider user are trying to search a long name such as "Visual
Studio Code"
The old mechanism:
User input: V
Task: V
Then input: i
Task cancel for V and start task i
etc...

The problem is:
1. I don't think we can really cancel the most time-cost part (Find
packages from WinGet).
2. User cannot see anything before they really end the input and the
last task complete. UX exp is so bad.
3. It's so complex to maintain. Hard to understand for the new
contributor.

New mechanism:
User input: V
Task: V
Then input: i 
Prev Task is still running but mark the next task is i
Input: s
Prev Task is still running but override the next task to s
etc...

We can get:
1. User can see some results if prev task complete.
2. It's simple to understand
3. The extra time cost I think will not too much. Because we ignored the
middle input.

<!-- 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 fixes the migration of bookmarks from versions prior to 0.95,
resolving an issue where hotkeys and aliases wouldn’t persist on
bookmarks created with Command Palette 0.94 or earlier.

It removes ID auto-fixing from `BookmarkData` in favor of an explicit
migration step handled by `BookmarkManager`.

## Summary of the Pull Request

This is a PR for issue **#42260**.
It targets **CmdPal’s WindowWalker** and changes the icon retrieval to
use **SendMessage** to obtain the window’s actual icon, instead of using
the **process icon**.

To support this, I added a new configuration option.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments


Actully, The `ThumbnailHelper` already contains code that converts an
`IntPtr` `hIcon` into an `IRandomAccessStream`, as shown below:

```
 private static MemoryStream GetMemoryStreamFromIcon(IntPtr hIcon)
 {
     var memoryStream = new MemoryStream();

     // Ensure disposing the icon before freeing the handle
     using (var icon = Icon.FromHandle(hIcon))
     {
         icon.ToBitmap().Save(memoryStream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
     }

     // Clean up the unmanaged handle without risking a use-after-free.
     NativeMethods.DestroyIcon(hIcon);

     memoryStream.Position = 0;
     return memoryStream;
 }

 private static async Task<IRandomAccessStream?> FromHIconToStream(IntPtr hIcon)
 {
     var stream = new InMemoryRandomAccessStream();

     using var memoryStream = GetMemoryStreamFromIcon(hIcon); // this will DestroyIcon hIcon
     using var outputStream = stream.GetOutputStreamAt(0);
     using var dataWriter = new DataWriter(outputStream);

     dataWriter.WriteBytes(memoryStream.ToArray());
     await dataWriter.StoreAsync();
     await dataWriter.FlushAsync();

     return stream;
 }
```

Without modifying (or using) this code, I implemented the almost same
logic directly in `SwitchToWindowCommand` (calling the async code with
`Wait` to block synchronously). The reasons are:

1. I wanted to limit changes to the **WindowWalker** project area. I
don’t expect other extensions to need this behavior.
2. Because this is resource-related work, exposing a public helper that
pulls memory from an `hIcon` pointer seems risky—especially in a class
like `ThumbnailHelper`.

Therefore, I implemented behavior that is nearly identical to the
snippet above.

I did use `using`/`Dispose` where appropriate, but the
`InMemoryRandomAccessStream` created for `IconInfo.FromStream` appears
to use internal referencing; disposing it would be incorrect. For that
reason I didn’t wrap it in a `using`. I’m not entirely sure whether GC
will handle this cleanly.

However, based on the implementation of `FromStream` itself and its
usage elsewhere (e.g., in `ThumbnailHelper`), this seems to be the
correct usage pattern, though I’m not entirely sure.

ae6da3235b CmdPal: Cleanup warnings, part 1 (#42584)
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR fixes several warnings in the Command Palette projects.


- _MSB4011_: `"Sdk.props" cannot be imported again. It was already
imported ...`
  - Removed the `Sdk` attribute from `CoreCommonProps.props`.

- _CsWinRT1028_ – “Class should be marked partial” on
*CsWin32*-generated classes.
- Since these classes cannot be made partial, a suppression attribute
has been added.
  - The `LocalKeyboardListener` type has been marked as partial.

- _Resource.resx_ – some strings had empty values.  
  - Updated the missing content.

- _WMC1506_ – *OneWay* bindings require at least one step to support
change notifications.
- In `SettingsWindow.xaml`, the breadcrumb binding was changed from
*OneWay* to *OneTime*, as `Crumb` does not support change notifications.

- _WMC0001_ – Unknown type in XML namespace
- In `SettingsWindow.xaml`, `FontWeight` was qualified with the CLR
namespace `Windows.UI.Text`.

## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR fixes logging entry. The invocation resembled a semantic logger
call, but its signature doesn’t match ManagedCommon.Logger. As a result,
it logged the placeholder text instead of the intended exception value:

f4e9af9acb CmdPal: Windows Terminal extension failing when LOCALAPPDATA environment variable is missing (#42326)
## Summary
Fixes an issue where the Command Palette Windows Terminal Profiles
extension throws an `ArgumentNullException` when the `LOCALAPPDATA`
environment variable is missing or corrupted.

## Problem
The extension uses `Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("LOCALAPPDATA")`
to locate Windows Terminal settings files. When this environment
variable is missing or corrupted (though rare), the method returns
`null`, which then causes `Path.Combine()` to throw an exception:

```
System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'paths')
   at System.IO.Path.Combine(ReadOnlySpan`1 paths)
   at Microsoft.CmdPal.Ext.WindowsTerminal.Helpers.TerminalQuery.GetTerminals()
```

## Solution
Replace `Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("LOCALAPPDATA")` with the
more robust
`Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData)`.
This API:
- Returns the correct path even when environment variables are corrupted
- Never returns `null` for standard special folders
- Is already used elsewhere in PowerToys (e.g.,
`Wox.Plugin.Constant.cs`)

## Changes
- Updated
`Microsoft.CmdPal.Ext.WindowsTerminal/Helpers/TerminalQuery.cs`

## Testing
The fix follows the existing pattern used in the codebase and directly
addresses the exception in the reported stack trace. While unlikely to
affect most users (environment variable corruption is rare), this makes
the extension more resilient to edge cases.

Fixes microsoft/PowerToys#42322

bb6f9a8b08 CmdPal: Add metadata to items in the clipboard history (#42188)
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces the `IClipboardMetadataProvider` interface, which
inspects clipboard items and returns metadata plus optional actions.

Also this implementation updates changes how `DetailsLink` link is
handled through shell, to enable `file:` scheme to be handled
(`Hyperlink.NavigateUri` and `HyperlinkButton.NavigateUri` explicitly
blocks `file:` scheme, see
[here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-app-sdk/api/winrt/microsoft.ui.xaml.controls.hyperlinkbutton?view=windows-app-sdk-1.8)).

**Implemented providers:**
- `ImageMetadataProvider` — reports image dimensions, DPI, and byte
size.
- `TextFileSystemMetadataProvider` — recognizes text as a file-system
path and, if it exists, provides details about the target.
- `WebLinkMetadataProvider` — recognizes text as a URL and provides
link-related metadata.
- `TextMetadataProvider` — reports text statistics (e.g., character and
word counts).

05b605ef27 CmdPal: Cleanup content page view model when no longer needed (#42293)
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR:

- Cleans up ContentPageViewModel when its page unloads to ensure it
unsubscribes from ItemsChanged.

- Clears the command bar before initializing a new page view model,
allowing the new VM to set its own state without being overridden by the
shell afterward.

7c8b30246e CmdPal: Window Walker - reevaluate process type when window process is updated (#42317)

This PR moves `ProcessPackagingInspector.Inspect` from the
`WindowProcess` constructor to `UpdateProcessInfo`, ensuring the process
type is correctly re-evaluated when the window’s backing process changes
(as with UWP apps hosted in `ApplicationFrameHost.exe`).

97e62b3253 CmdPal: Update special fallbacks separately from the other fallbacks (#42289)
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces a hotfix that updates special fallback items
separately from the rest. This allows the loop handling special fallback
items to finish faster, ensuring they are not delayed by other fallback
items. As a result, calculator and run fallback items will be more
readily available to users.

This partially solves #42286 for special fallback items.

cd5b76c988 CmdPal: make the context menu search look more like a cmdpal (#42081)
Replaces our styling with the same styleing we use for the search bar

But we can't _just_ do that, because the stupid "text cursors don't show
up on top of transparent backgrounds" thing.

So I just added the smoke backdrop to the search box. Seemed reasonable.

Screenshots below.

f55c49e15b CmdPal: adjust frecency weighting (#42242)
In #41959 we changed the string matcher's weighting. It ended up giving
us lower scores than before.

That meant that the weighting from recent commands was far too heavy,
and it was polluting the results. Basically any command that you'd run
would be like, 30 characters of weight heavier than anything you
haven't.


This increases the weight of all string matches by 10x. That means
something like
`Command Prompt` will get a string matched weight of `100` instead of
`10`. This balances better with the weighting from frecency (where the
MRU command gets +35, then `+min(5*uses,35)`, for up to 70 points of
weight)

It also adds a bunch of tests here, to try and catch this again in the
future.

b89237ff94 CmdPal: Fix "Open location" menu item for Win32 and UWP (#42248)
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR fixes the regression of the "Open containing folder" context
menu items:
- For Win32 apps, the command now displays the correct icon, opens the
folder containing the shortcut, and selects the file.
- For UWP apps, it sets the same icon and item title as the equivalent
command for Win32 apps.
- For both, it updates the item's title to "Open file location" to align
with the Windows 11 menu naming convention.

ca4e8b2986 CmdPal: Cancel page load when superseded by a new page navigation (#42233)
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces cancellation support for navigation. If a user
navigates to page X and then returns back or navigates elsewhere before
the page X fully loads, this update ensures that page X will not set
itself as the current page and is ignored.

It resolves the issue where returning to the home page left the previous
page's icon and placeholder visible in the search bar, causing the
search functionality to fail.

ccc31c13ae CmdPal: A couple more run commands bugs (#42174)
Caching bugs are hard.

This fixes like, three different run commands bugs:
* typing `c:\windows\p`, then backspacing to `c:\windows` would populate
the cache for `c:\` with the files in `c:\` that matched `windows*`.
* Now when the dir chenges, we correctly fill the cache with everything
in that dir, then filter it.
* that also caused a similar edge case for `c:\windows\` -> `c:\windows`
(the first should show results under c:\windows\` the second should only
show things in `c:\` matching `windows`
* As of my last PR, we support commandlines with spaces. We however
forgot to handle _paths_ with spaces. We'll now correctly show path
results for something like `c:\program files\`

466a94eb40 CmdPal: Fix updating primary command and context menu and app icons (#42155)
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR fixes three issues in one go:
- Restores missing icons in app context menus.
- Fixes propagation of changes from a command item to the context menu
item for the primary action.
- Ensures the context menus stay in sync when underlying command items
change.

Details:
- Correctly propagates updates of name, icon, and subtitle from a
command item to its primary command
(`CommandItemViewModel._defaultCommandContextItemViewModel`).
- Correctly propagate updates of command's name to title
(`CommandItem.ctor`).
- Fixes icon loading for application items: `AppCommand` no longer loads
an app icon by default but instead relies on the caller to provide one
(since `AppListItem` also handles icon loading).
- Adds a generic fallback icon for apps when an icon cannot be loaded.
- Updates bindings on context menu items to `OneWay`, ensuring the UI
properly reflects item changes.
- Adds a sample that showcases dynamically updated commands (with cats
and dolphins!) to _Samples → List Page Sample Command_.

⚠️ Toolkit changes:
- `CommandItem` won't capture assigned Command's name as its `Title`.
This will allow it to propagate future changes to `Command.Name`.

Pictures? Moving ones!

e748f31593 CmdPal: Handle DWM cloak failure by keeping window hidden (#42107)
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces a workaround for cases where DWM cloaking of the main
window fails.

If the main window cannot be cloaked by DWM, it will remain hidden until
the user explicitly summons it. (Normally, we cloak the window and
immediately display it under DWM's cover of darkness. When cloaking
fails, the windows would be displayed permanently.)

b6944b432c CmdPal: Allow any image format as icon for protocol bookmarks (#42145)
## Summary of the Pull Request

This change attempts to load any supported image format as a protocol
bookmark icon, instead of restricting it to PNG only. The original
implementation handled only PNG (which are common), but the manifest
also supports JPG/JPEG extensions.

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).

0d3db48ab1 CmdPal: Properly quote arguments when rebuilding normalized path (#42071)
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR ensures proper quoting of arguments after normalization. When
joining arguments back into a single string, any argument containing
whitespace or double quotes must be quoted (because parsing unquoted
them). Adjusts unit tests to reflect the correct expected results.

c8486087d8 CmdPal: Update visual style of details panel elements (#42102)
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR updates the details panel formatting:

- Hides the empty text block used as a separator when the key is empty.
- Makes separators more subtle by adjusting the brush.  
- Reverses the typographical hierarchy of detail key/value items, making
the value dominant and the key more subtle to help users focus on the
content.
- Defines new detail text styles derived from the base WinUI
typographical styles.

08dc3fbcef CmdPal: Fix desynced resmanager files (#42038)
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR fixes desynced resource manager files introduced by previous
commits.
While Visual Studio would regenerate and correct these files
automatically, applying this fix preemptively reduces unnecessary churn
in unrelated commits and avoids redundant file changes.

b026bf5be2 [CmdPal] Enable AOT by default (#41350)
<!-- 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
It's time to enable AOT by default and clean up the related
configuration.
PublishReadyToRun and PublishTrimmed are unnecessary now.

By clean up these configuration, cmdpal will:
1. Run without AOT in the VS by default.
2. Build with AOT by default in the Pipeline.

348af2d6fc CmdPal: Update web search extensions icons (#42034)
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR updates icons in the Web Search extension:
- Replaces the main icon with a new one based on Fluent UI System Color
Icons. The globe’s color shifts slightly from turquoise to bluish to
increase contrast between the Web Search extension icon and the
Clipboard History icon.
- Fixes the cutoff on the right edge of the original extension icon.
- Updates the history item icon to the Fluent UI History icon.
- Adds a search command icon using the Fluent UI Search icon.

c3398b0a01 Allow Run to handle commandlines with spaces (#42016)
This better handles cases where commandlines might have embedded spaces.
For something like

```
C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\pwsh.exe -c write-host dawg
```

we'll now see that `C:\Program` isn't a file, and we'll try to look at
`C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\pwsh.exe` instead.

This code is pilfered from
https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/12348 which fixed
https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/12345. Terminal has great
code for normalizing a string into an executable and args, so why not
just use it here.

related to #41646
related to #41705 (but much more narrowly scoped)

----

I added some tests too.

drive-by fix: as I was adding tests, I added a helper for "make a change
to a page, and await the page's ItemsChanged". This removes a bunch of
`await 1s` calls, and brings the shell page tests from like, 7s to 500ms

2b6c5d2cdd CmdPal: Hide search box on content pages [experiment] (#41479)
## Summary of the Pull Request

CmdPal now displays the search box only on pages that derive from
ListPage. On ContentPage (forms, etc.), the search box is hidden.

- Moves keyboard shortcut handling from SearchBox to ShellPage so
shortcuts are always handled.
- Keeps the search box hidden/disabled to preserve layout metrics. 
- Refines focus management to prevent focus jumps during navigation. 
- For ContentPage page's content gains focus automatically (not just
form inputs, but now markdown content as well - so you can scroll
immediately, for example).
- Adds accessibility (a11y) tweaks: when navigating to content pages
without a visible search box, sets an explicit focus target so screen
readers announce a meaningful element. Screen reader will now announce
navigation to the page.
- Adds a title to the main list page - "Home".

e1681ec08f CmdPal: Add Context Menu command "Show Details" when list item has details, but list view's ShowDetails == false (#40870)
Closes #38270

When a list item's `Details` property is not null, but it's parent
ListViews `ShowDetails` property is false, this PR adds a context menu
item at the bottom of the commands for the list item to show details.
Clicking that command will show the details for the selected item, but
the details pane will hide when a different item is selected.

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);
}
```
