## Summary of the Pull Request
Changes the behavior of keyboard item activation when the item list view
has focus.
Previously, the list view handled item activation according to the
"Single-click activation" setting regardless of the input source (mouse,
pen, touch, or keyboard).
Now, when handling a ListView item click, the input source is detected,
and the "Single-click activation" setting is applied only for
pointer-raised clicks. For keyboard-triggered clicks, items are always
activated immediately.
Since the event `ListView.ItemClick` doesn't provide information about
what caused the item activation, this PR work around that by observing
last user input on the list immediately before `ItemClick` event is
invoked.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Changes the timing of when `ContentPage` registers to messages from the
Toolkit Messenger so it happens only when navigated to, mirroring the
unregister on navigation from. Also unregisters from all messages when
unloaded.
Proactively unregisters the Settings window from all messages on close
instead of relying on the GC’s nondeterministic cleanup. Since the
Settings window is newly created each time, old instances can still
react to messages even after their time is over, merely waiting for GC
to collect them.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
## Validation Steps Performed
I crashed an extension on purpose and read the message.
What the title says. 😄
Rather than relying on the potentially overloaded `!=` or `==` operators
when checking for null, now we'll use the `is` expression (possibly
combined with the `not` operator) to ensure correct checking. Probably
overkill for many of these classes, but decided to err on the side of
consistency. Would matter more on classes that may be inherited or
extended.
Using `is` and `is not` will provide us a guarantee that no
user-overloaded equality operators (`==`/`!=`) is invoked when a
`expression is null` is evaluated.
In code form, changed all instances of:
```c#
something != null
something == null
```
to:
```c#
something is not null
something is null
```
The one exception was checking null on a `KeyChord`. `KeyChord` is a
struct which is never null so VS will raise an error when trying this
versus just providing a warning when using `keyChord != null`. In
reality, we shouldn't do this check because it can't ever be null. In
the case of a `KeyChord` it **would** be a `KeyChord` equivalent to:
```c#
KeyChord keyChord = new ()
{
Modifiers = 0,
Vkey = 0,
ScanCode = 0
};
```
Improves item insertion logic in TopLevelCommandManager.
Updated the insertion logic to handle invalid startIndex values. If
startIndex is -1, new items will be appended to the end of the
collection, enhancing robustness.
Fixes regression introduced in #40752

## Validation Steps Performed
## 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.

## 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)`)

We need to set the value of `_includeApps` in the `MainListPage` ctor.

Closes#40979
Usually, you're supposed to try to cast the action to a specific
type, and use those objects to get the data you need.
However, there's something weird with AdaptiveCards and the way it
works when we consume it when built in Release, with AOT (and
trimming) enabled. Any sort of `action.As<IAdaptiveSubmitAction>()`
or similar will throw a System.InvalidCastException.
Instead we have this horror show.
The `action.ToJson()` blob ACTUALLY CONTAINS THE `type` field, which
we can use to determine what kind of action it is. Then we can parse
the JSON manually based on the type.
## Summary of the Pull Request
Self-refresh of `MainListPage` introduced in #40132 causes unnecessary
spawning of tasks by `ReapplySearchInBackground` and pushing the code
down the scenic route instead of taking shortcut.
This drop-in fix introduces a single-worker coalescing refresh loop to
eliminate thread-pool churn and syncs state in early-return paths.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request introduces enhancements to UI test automation,
improvements to pipeline configuration, and project structure updates.
The goal is to improve flexibility, maintainability, and efficiency in
PowerToys’ CI/CD processes.
### UI Test Enhancements:
Delayed Text Input Support
- UI tests now support character-by-character text input with
configurable delays.
- This serves as a workaround for a known CmdPal bug where input is
swallowed too quickly. The delay mitigates the issue until it is fixed
in CmdPal.
Centralized Environment Management
- Introduced a new class to centralize environment variable access for
UI test configuration.
CmdPal Launch Handling in Pipelines
- Adjusted test logic to handle CmdPal module startup specifically in CI
pipelines
### Pipeline Configuration Updates:
Build Artifact Customization
- Included test-related folders in pipeline build outputs for better
traceability.
Support for Build ID Targeting
- Added support for specifying PowerToys build IDs in test pipelines,
with conditional logic for specific or latest build selection.

## 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.

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.

_⚠️ targets #40427_
This is a different approach to #39059 that I was thinking about like a
month ago. It builds on the work from the rejuv'd run page (#39955) to
process the bookmark as an exe/path/url automatically.
I need to cross-check this with #39059 - I haven't cached that back in
since I got back from leave. I remember thinking that I wanted to try
this approach, but wasn't sure if it was right. More than anything, I
want to get it off my local PC and out for discussion

I accidentally destroyed #40430 with a fat-finger merge from #40427 into
it. This resurrects that PR
## Summary of the Pull Request
Fixes unsynchronized access to `LoadTopLevelCommands` in
`TopLevelCommandManager.UpdateCommandsForProvider`, which previously led
to `InvalidOperationException: Collection was modified`.
Addressing this also uncovered another issue: overlapping invocations of
`ReloadAllCommandsAsync` were causing duplication of items in the main
list -- so I'm fixing that as well.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
## Validation Steps Performed
Tested with bookmarks.
We were being too clever with `\`; and yet simultaneously not clever
enough.
* When we saw `c:\users`, we'd treat that as a path with a Title
`users\`
* but when we saw `c:\users\`, we'd fail to find a file name, and the
just treat the name as `\`. That was dumb.
* And we'd add trailing `\`'s even if there already was one.
* But then if the user typed `c:\users`, we would immediately start
enumerating children of that dir, which didn't really feel right
This PR fixes all of that.
Closes#40797
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
Yea this was real dumb.
I removed the `HandleCommandResultMessage` handler from `ShellPage`, and
never put it on `ShellViewModel`. Just first-grade kind of mistake.
Closes#40776

re: #40113
## Summary of the Pull Request
Handle exceptions thrown in TryEnqueue callbacks so they don’t crash the
app (as they cannot be caught by the global exception handler). Any
exceptions are now returned to the caller for handling. Additionally, a
failure to enqueue the operation onto the dispatcher will also result in
an exception.
This is not a breaking change, as exceptions only propagate within the
class and do not affect external callers.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Ensure that errors encountered while sending the extension disposal
signal are handled gracefully. If an error occurs when disposing of a
particular extension, continue signaling the remaining extensions rather
than halting the entire process. This prevents a single failure from
interrupting the disposal chain and improves overall robustness.

Closes#40781
Filters out TopLevelCommands whose Id matches an app coming from the
`AllAppsCommandProvider.Page.GetItems()`.
Hate adding processing there, but without adding some type of `bool
HideMeOnSearch` to something low enough (like ICommandItem), I don't see
another way to distinguish these.
Cherry-pick of 782ee47. That is probably over-aggressive, but it fixes
it.

Regressed in one of the #40113 prs.
The Core.VM.PageViewModelFactory didn't actually know how to make a
ContentPage, because Core can't handle a FormContent.
But really, the CommandSettingsViewModel shouldn't have ever been in the
.Core namespace, nor should it have used the ContentPageViewModel.
To prevent future mistakes like this,
* I got rid of `Core.ViewModels/PageViewModelFactory`, cause we didn't
need it.
* I made `ContentPageViewModel` abstract, to prevent you from trying to
instantiate it
Closes#40778
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
