175403d86d fix: Improve tray icon theming and installer icon handling (#44715) 
Add "svgs" directory and icon files to installer, ensuring proper
install/uninstall and registry registration. Enhance logging in
general_settings.cpp for theme-adaptive tray icon config changes.
Refactor tray_icon.cpp to improve icon loading robustness, add detailed
diagnostics, and ensure fallback to default icon if theme-adaptive icon
fails to load. These changes improve error handling and maintainability
for tray icon theming.

c8da70d6fa CmdPal: Replace assembly metadata attributes with preprocessor directives (#44707) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR replaces custom metadata attributes used to pass build-time
information with preprocessor directives. It appears that metadata can
be stripped from the final build output, even though it survived AOT in
earlier tests on the main and stable branches.

New preprocesor directives in Microsoft.CmdPal.UI:
- `BUILD_INFO_PUBLISH_AOT` - when `PublishAot` MSBuild parameter is
`true`
- `BUILD_INFO_PUBLISH_TRIMMED `- when `PublishTrimmed` MSBuild parameter
is `true`
- `BUILD_INFO_CIBUILD `- when `CIBuild` MSBuild parameter is `true`

Using preprocessor directives avoids this uncertainty and provides a
more reliable solution.

74448355f9 Peek: Show error message when activated in unsupported virtual folders (#44703) 
<!-- 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

When Peek is activated in virtual folders like Home or Recent, it now
displays a clear error message instead of showing a stuck loading state
or "Search in Microsoft Store" link.

### Problem
When users activate Peek (press the hotkey) in Windows virtual folders
such as Home or Recent, the Shell API (SVGIO_SELECTION) returns 0 items
because these folders don't support the standard file selection
retrieval mechanism. Previously, this caused:

- The Peek window to appear stuck in a loading state
- The "Search in Microsoft Store" fallback UI to display incorrectly
- Subsequent Peek activations to fail until the window was manually
closed

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/fd657e46-97f8-4042-bf43-971055f74700"
/>

### Solution

- Added a check in `Initialize()` to detect when no files are found
after querying the Shell
- Display an error InfoBar with a user-friendly message: "No files
selected or this folder is not supported for preview."
- Hide the `FilePreview` control when the error is shown to prevent
displaying irrelevant fallback UI
- Close the window automatically when the user dismisses the InfoBar
(clicks X)

8b79da5d49 Fix Image Resizer doesn’t work when using the UI. (#44687) 
<!-- 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
1. Update the CLI Log Folder
2. Fixes an `ArgumentOutOfRangeException` that occurs in ImageResizer
when the `CustomSize` or `AiSize` properties change.
<img width="1494" height="530" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3d8dbe8c-4d21-46bc-9c10-f6d26161787f"
/>

Changed the collection changed notification from `Replace` to `Reset`
for both `CustomSize` and `AiSize` property changes. While `Reset` is
less efficient (it forces a full UI refresh rather than updating a
single item), it avoids the index validation issue since it doesn't
require specifying an index.

c88fe1fa0e [FancyZonesCLI] Fix PowerShell GUID parsing and add subcommand help (#44676) 
<!-- 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

<!-- Please review the items on the PR checklist before submitting-->
## PR Checklist
This PR improves FancyZones CLI usability with three enhancements:

1. **PowerShell GUID compatibility**: Users can now pass GUIDs without
braces (e.g., `0CEBCBA9-9C32-4395-B93E-DC77485AD6D0`), avoiding
PowerShell's script block interpretation issue
2. **Subcommand help**: Added `--help` support for individual commands
(e.g., `FancyZonesCLI set-layout --help`)
3. **Friendly error messages**: When PowerShell incorrectly interprets
`{GUID}` as a script block, displays a helpful message instead of
cryptic errors

0314a709f5 Optimize the module list logic (#44628) 
<!-- 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 pull request refactors how module enable/disable state changes are
handled in the settings UI, centralizing and simplifying the logic for
updating and notifying these changes. The main improvements include
unifying the callback mechanism for enable state changes, reducing code
duplication, and making the update process more robust against circular
updates.

**Refactoring and Simplification of Enable State Handling:**

* Introduced a unified `EnabledChangedCallback` and `UpdateStatus`
method in the base `ModuleListItem` class to handle enable/disable state
changes and notifications, replacing redundant logic in derived classes
like `FlyoutMenuItem` and `DashboardListItem`.

* Updated all usages to call `UpdateStatus` instead of directly setting
`IsEnabled`, ensuring callbacks are managed consistently and preventing
unnecessary notifications during programmatic updates.

**Improvements to Callback and Update Logic:**

* Changed the signature of UI event handlers to use the base
`ModuleListItem` type, improving code maintainability and reducing
casting and duplication.

state, further simplifying the codebase.

**Project and Namespace Adjustments:**

* Updated the project file to include all localized resource files
recursively, improving localization support.
* Added a missing namespace import to ensure proper type resolution.
* Added a missing `using System;` directive for the `Action` delegate.

a246789719 docs(prompts): sync commit/pr guidance and Copilot settings (#44627) 
## Summary of the Pull Request
- Clarified the PR-summary prompt to prepend a PR title and to reuse the
Conventional Commit rules from
`.github/prompts/create-commit-title.prompt.md`.
- Expanded the commit-title prompt with clearer purpose, inputs, and
Conventional Commit guidance.
- Added workspace Copilot chat settings in `.vscode/settings.json` to
point review/commit/PR generation at the repo prompt files.

e.g. for commit tile generation:
<img width="562" height="376" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ca11d117-e4ad-4d1e-abb7-2b4600690f45"
/>


## PR Checklist
- [ ] Closes: N/A
- [ ] Communication: N/A (prompt/settings maintenance)
- [ ] Tests: Not run (prompt/settings-only change)

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
- The PR-summary workflow now directs PR title generation to the
existing commit-title prompt instead of duplicating rules, and places
the title above the filled template.
- The commit-title prompt now spells out required diff command, decision
steps, and Conventional Commit examples.
- VS Code Copilot chat settings ensure review, commit, and PR
description generation use the repository prompts consistently.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request updates the resource file inclusion pattern in the
`PowerToys.QuickAccess.csproj` project file to support localization for
multiple languages.

Localization improvements:

* Changed the `PRIResource` include path to recursively include all
`Resources.resw` files from subdirectories, enabling support for
multiple language resource files instead of just `en-us`.

6c2a99dfd6 Fix FancyZones editor overlay on mixed-DPI multi-monitor setups (#44440) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

Use DPI-unaware context when positioning overlay windows to match the
coordinate space from the C++ backend.

The FancyZones editor overlay windows were incorrectly positioned on
secondary monitors when using different DPI scaling (e.g.,
125%/150%/125%). Zones appeared shifted or clipped because they extended
past monitor edges.

## PR Checklist

- [x] Closes: #43363
- [x] Closes: #43386
- [ ] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors
already.
- [ ] **Tests:** Added/updated and all pass
- [ ] **Localization:** All end-user-facing strings can be localized
- [ ] **Dev docs:** Added/updated
- [ ] **New binaries:** Added on the required places

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

### Root Cause
The C++ backend uses a DPI-unaware thread to get virtual screen
coordinates, but the WPF editor (PerMonitorV2 DPI-aware) interpreted
these coordinates with DPI scaling applied, causing misalignment on
non-primary monitors.

### Fix
- **EditorParameters.cpp**: Use consistent virtual coordinates for all
monitor properties (removed `DPIAware::Convert` that was only applied to
dimensions)
- **Monitor.cs**: Reposition overlay windows using DPI-unaware context
after HWND creation, matching the coordinate space from C++ backend
- **NativeMethods.cs**: Added `SetWindowPositionDpiUnaware()` using
`SetThreadDpiAwarenessContext` to temporarily switch DPI awareness

## Validation Steps Performed

Manually tested on 3-monitor setup with 125%/150%/125% DPI scaling -
overlays now correctly cover each monitor's work area.

---

🤖 *This fix was developed with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code)
after 6 hours of debugging DPI coordinate systems together.*

be90b587da CmdPal: Update Extension SDK classes to raise property change notifications only on change (#44547) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces a new method  
`bool SetProperty<T>(ref T field, T value, [CallerMemberName] string?
propertyName = null)`
on `BaseObservable`.

The method updates the backing field only when the new value differs
from the current one and raises property change notifications only in
that case.

#### Summary

- Adds `SetProperty<T>` to `BaseObservable` to guard property change
notifications behind an actual value change.
- SDK API is not affected.
- Prevents unnecessary notifications from leaving the extension
boundary.
- Reduces redundant updates and saves a few round-trips between COM
objects and view models.
- Improves overall efficiency without changing observable behavior for
consumers.

runner/settings UI, prompts, and simplified
`.github/copilot-instructions.md` to point to the sources of truth.
- Fixed prompt frontmatter (YAML markers, quoted fields, headings)
across built-in prompt files.
- Most instructions.md is from https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot

<!-- 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 pull request introduces updates to the build pipeline and resource
configuration, primarily to support new modules and improve versioning
information for the File Locksmith CLI.

**Pipeline configuration updates:**

* Added new WinUI3 application binaries (`PowerToys.QuickAccess.dll`,
`PowerToys.QuickAccess.exe`, and `PowerToys.Settings.UI.Controls.dll`)
to the ESRP signing pipeline, ensuring these modules are properly signed
during the build process.

**Resource and versioning improvements:**

* Updated the resource file for `FileLocksmithCLI` to include version
information and metadata (such as company name, file description, and
product version) by referencing the shared version header. This improves
traceability and consistency of version details in the executable.

4704e3edb8 [CursorWrap] Update coordinate mapping (#43542) 
## Summary of the Pull Request
Update coordinate mapping across monitors

---

### Testing instructions

#### Single monitor
- Enable CursorWrap - the cursor should wrap around the top/bottom and
left/right edges of the display.

- Single monitor - Add a second monitor:

- If you have a USB monitor, add the monitor to your PC, CursorWrap
should detect the new monitor and wrapping should occur from the edges
of the monitor depending on monitor layout - for example, if the monitor
is added to the left of the main display then the cursor should move
freely between the left edge of the main monitor to the right edge of
the added monitor - the cursor should wrap from the left edge of the
added monitor to the right edge of the main monitor (same for top/bottom
if the new monitor is added above/below the main monitor).

#### Multi monitor
- If you have a static multi-monitor layout cursor should wrap for outer
edges of the monitor setup, for example, if you have three monitors in a
layout of [1][0][2] then the cursor should wrap from the right edge of
[2] to the left edge of [1], top/bottom should wrap on each monitor.

#### Issues
- If you detect any issues then run the Capture-MonitorLayout.ps1 file,
this will generate a JSON file with your monitor layout, attach the file
to a new comment.

961a65f470 Update VSCode task for streamline build + fix prompts syntax error (#44605) 
<!-- 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 pull request introduces several improvements and updates across the
repository, focusing on build tooling, prompt configuration for AI
agents, and documentation clarity. The most significant changes include
the addition of new VSCode build tasks, updates to prompt files to use a
newer AI model, enhancements to the build script for flexibility, and
refinements to documentation and style rules.

### Enabled scenario
* On any active files in VSCode, do "Ctrl + Shift + B" just build
correctly for you.
* The Run Task (no matter from Terminal or Ctrl + Shift + P), we can see
the build option:
<img width="1210" height="253" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/09fbef16-55ce-42d5-a9ec-74111be83472"
/>

**Build tooling and automation:**

* Added a new `.vscode/tasks.json` file with configurable build tasks
for PowerToys, supporting quick and customizable builds with platform
and configuration selection.
* Enhanced `tools/build/build.ps1` to support an optional `-Path`
parameter for building projects in a specified directory, updated
parameter documentation, and improved logic to resolve the working
directory.

**AI agent prompt configuration:**

* Updated all prompt files in `.github/prompts/` to use the
`GPT-5.1-Codex-Max` model instead of older models, and standardized the
agent field format.

* Improved clarity and consistency in the description and instructions
within the `review-issue.prompt.md` file.

**Documentation and style rules:**

* Updated `.github/copilot-instructions.md` to clarify that C++ and C#
style analyzers and formatters are now enforced from the `src/`
directory, not the repo root, and made the C++ formatting rule more
precise.

876130c3cd Fix Peek allowing Local File Inclusion (LFI) and RCE (#44601) 
<!-- 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
In PR #44456, we disabled scripts and HTML, but we still want to allow
HTML rendering.

This pull request introduces significant security improvements and UI
enhancements to the file previewer, focusing on safe rendering of files
and better user communication when opening external links. The main
changes include strict resource filtering to prevent external content
loading (and potential XSS attacks), a more informative dialog when
opening external URIs, and improved logic for determining how different
file types are previewed.

**Security enhancements:**

* Added strict resource filtering for non-dev file previews in
`BrowserControl` to block external HTTP/S requests and limit local file
access to the same directory and subdirectories, preventing XSS and
unwanted external content loading.
* Set the `WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS` environment variable
to block new web contents for extra security.
* Removed disabling of HTML rendering in the Markdown pipeline to allow
safe local rendering (now protected by resource filtering).

**File preview logic improvements:**

* Refactored previewer logic to prioritize file type handling: Markdown,
SVG, HTML/HTM, Monaco-supported source code, and fallback types,
ensuring correct preview strategy and context menu behavior for each
type.
* Resource filtering is dynamically applied or removed based on whether
the file is a dev/source code file (Monaco editor) or not, ensuring
compatibility and security.

**User interface enhancements:**

* Updated the open URI dialog to include a warning banner and improved
messaging, informing users about the risks of opening external links.

8ed090d38e Optimize PowerRename logic on memory allocation based on path depth. (#44603) 
<!-- 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 pull request improves the way items are grouped and processed by
depth in the `s_fileOpWorkerThread` function of
`PowerRenameManager.cpp`. Instead of sizing the depth matrix by the
total item count, it now determines the actual maximum depth of items
first, resulting in more efficient memory usage and correctness when
handling items by their depth.

**Improvements to depth-based processing:**

* Added a first pass to determine the maximum depth among all items
before allocating the depth matrix, ensuring the matrix is sized
appropriately and not excessively large.
* Updated the logic to iterate from the maximum depth down to zero when
adding items, aligning with the new matrix sizing and ensuring correct
processing order.

b9de59ce64 Cmdpal: Peek command in indexer (#44581) 
<!-- 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
Add a peek command, so we could quickly view the files found by indexer

I’m aware that wiring the Peek command directly into the indexer
extension is fairly PowerToys-specific.
I’m open to suggestions if we think this should instead be handled via a
more general extension / plugin mechanism; if a broader framework is
planned, I’m happy to wait and revisit this once that structure is in
place.

9c58574484 Revert "[Light Switch] Switch desktop wallpapers with the Light/Dark mode" (#44588) 
This uses IVirtualDesktopManagerInternal*, which is an undocumented
Windows Shell internal API.
These interfaces are not stable and can change across Windows updates,
so using them in PowerToys carries some long-term risk

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
It was asked why this feature is needed at all, because it could be done
with snipping tool and just AoT that window as well. While this is true,
PowerToys goal always was to improve and speed up workflows. Instead of
capturing the screenshot, opening it, and then apply "Crop and Lock" or
"Always on Top" on the screenshots window, this PR aims to provide this
functionality in a single step.

Example use cases:
- _when I want to compare between two situations like previous output
result and current output result._ (#31799)
- _Allow cropping a section of a large code file (say top while working
at the bottom) as reference while working elsewhere in the file._
(#33071)
- _Can be useful for the work in the same document, like excel or word
where you are actively checking the data from the same document._
(#28633)
- _In lot's of older applications, if you need to get some information
or data from one dialog do another, but because of dialog modality it's
not possible to have both windows open at the same time._ (#33812)
- _nowadays quite a lot is happening inside the browser. Quite often, I
want to keep a small portion of the current website visible and switch
to e.g. the writing tool also running in a different tab in the same
browser window._ (#31799)


I've used win+ctrl+shift+s as the default activation shortcut, as it's
not yet used by other powertoys utilities, has similarity with the
normal win+shift+s shortcut hotkey and is consistent with the other Crop
and Lock shortcuts win+ctrl+shift+r (Reparent Mode) and win+ctrl+shift+t
(Thumbnail Mode).

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed

Compatibility tested manually with a large set of applications I have
installed on my computer. However, automated tests don't really make
sense as there is not much business logic which could be tested.

03aec1a9a7 [File Locksmith] Add CLI support (#44047) 
<!-- 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 pull request introduces a new command-line interface (CLI) project
for the File Locksmith module, enabling users to interact with File
Locksmith functionality directly from the command line. The changes
include project and build configuration, CLI implementation, and
supporting code to integrate with the existing FileLocksmith library.

## Commands and Options

| Command / Option | Alias | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `<path>` | N/A | **Required**. One or more file or directory paths to
check. You can specify multiple paths separated by spaces. |
| `--kill` | N/A | Terminates (kills) all processes that are currently
locking the specified files. |
| `--json` | N/A | Outputs the results in structured **JSON** format
instead of human-readable text. Useful for automation and scripts. |
| `--wait` | N/A | **Blocks execution** and waits until the specified
files are released. The command will not exit until the files are
unlocked. |
| `--help` | N/A | Displays the help message with usage instructions. |

## Usage Examples

### 1. Basic check (Human-readable output)
Check which processes are locking a specific file:
```powershell
FileLocksmithCLI.exe "C:\Users\Docs\report.docx"
```

### 2. Check multiple files and output JSON
Check multiple files and get the output in JSON format for parsing:
```powershell
FileLocksmithCLI.exe --json "C:\File1.txt" "C:\Folder\File2.dll"
```

### 3. Wait for a file to be unlocked
Block script execution until a file is released (useful in build
scripts):
```powershell
FileLocksmithCLI.exe --wait "C:\bin\output.exe"
```

### 4. Force unlock a file
Kill all processes that are locking a specific file:
```powershell
FileLocksmithCLI.exe --kill "C:\LockedFile.dat"
```
