## 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

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\`
## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR adds a new keyboard shortcut Alt+Home that takes user
immediately to the home page in a single action.

## 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!

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.)

## 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).

## Summary of the Pull Request
Related to this PR https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/41968.
Now, we can enabled back the ci build with the nightly build cache (Just
kick off one today, and it will run periodically daily).
This bumps the CmdPal version to 0.6.
It also moves the template project to consume the 0.5 SDK.
It also removes the WASDK dependency, because we only need the MSIX
tooling.
This PR adds the CheatSheets plugin to the third-party plugins
documentation in the General plugins section.

## 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.
