## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR updates the PowerToys solution to support **Visual Studio 2026
(PlatformToolset v145)**. It centralizes the build configuration,
updates the C++ language standards, and fixes an issue with a MouseJump
unit test that appears while using the VS 2026 supported build agent.

## 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.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Workspace support for pwa is now limited, it is tight to specific
Profile launch. If you create a pwa app with a profile other than
"Default", launch will fail. Then you have to manually configure that
profile to launch.
This pr fix it by launching with shell:appsfolder\appusermodelId

## Validation Steps Performed
- [X] Create a new workspace with a pwa app(Other than default profile)
should be no problem.
- [X] Existing workspace with a pwa(default profile and other profile)
should launch successfully without problem
1. with pt version 91.1, create a loop pwa with "Profile 1" instead of
"Default" in edge.
2. capture and launch actually launch the edge instead of loop
3. Create profile with this impl and launch
4. Launch pwa successfully

This pull request introduces a new unit testing framework for the
`WorkspacesLib` module, adds test coverage for various utilities, and
integrates the new test project into the build system. Key changes
include adding the `WorkspacesLibUnitTests` project, implementing tests
for `AppUtils`, `JsonUtils`, and `PwaHelper`, and updating the build
configuration to include the new test project.
### Unit Tests Added:
* **`AppUtilsTests`**:
- Added comprehensive tests for methods such as `GetCurrentFolder`,
`IsEdge`, `IsChrome`, and `IsSteamGame` to validate their behavior under
various conditions.
* **`JsonUtilsTests`**:
- Implemented tests for reading and writing workspace data, including
scenarios for invalid JSON, non-existent files, and valid workspace
lists.
* **`PwaHelperTests`**:
- Added tests to ensure the stability of `PwaHelper` methods, such as
`GetEdgeAppId`, `GetChromeAppId`, and `SearchPwaName`, even with invalid
or empty inputs.
### Build System Updates:
* **New Test Project Integration**:
- Added the `WorkspacesLibUnitTests` project to the solution file
`PowerToys.sln` with appropriate dependencies.
- Updated build configurations to include the new test project for both
Debug and Release builds across architectures.

### Pipeline Adjustments:
* **Test Discovery**:
- Updated the pipeline configuration in
`.pipelines/v2/templates/job-build-project.yml` to discover the new
`WorkspacesLibUnitTests.dll` during test runs.
