3e2914a0b2 Add unit tests for Hosts ValidationHelper and ColorPicker format conversions (#46679) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

Adds comprehensive unit tests for two previously untested areas to
improve test coverage and prevent regressions:

1. **Hosts ValidationHelper** (`ValidationHelperTest.cs`) — 25+ test
cases covering `ValidIPv4`, `ValidIPv6`, and `ValidHosts` methods
2. **ColorPicker ColorFormatHelper conversions**
(`ColorFormatConversionTest.cs`) — 50+ test cases covering CMYK, HSB,
HSI, HWB, CIE XYZ, CIE LAB, Oklab, Oklch, sRGB-to-linear, NCol
conversions, plus expanded `GetStringRepresentation` tests for Red,
White, Green, and Blue colors across all supported formats

## PR Checklist

- [x] **Tests:** Added/updated and all pass
- [ ] **Localization:** All end-user-facing strings can be localized —
N/A (test-only changes)
- [ ] **Dev docs:** Added/updated — N/A (test-only changes)
- [ ] **New binaries:** Added on the required places — N/A (no new
binaries)

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

### Hosts ValidationHelper
(`src/modules/Hosts/Hosts.Tests/ValidationHelperTest.cs`)
- Tests `ValidIPv4` with valid addresses (loopback, private ranges,
broadcast), invalid addresses (out of range octets, wrong format, CIDR
notation), and null/whitespace inputs
- Tests `ValidIPv6` with valid addresses (loopback, full/compressed
notation, link-local, IPv4-mapped), invalid addresses (extra groups,
invalid hex digits), and null/whitespace inputs
- Tests `ValidHosts` with valid hostnames, FQDNs, max host count
boundary (using `Consts.MaxHostsCount` dynamically for both
exact-boundary and exceeds-boundary tests), and invalid hostnames

### ColorPicker Format Conversions
(`src/modules/colorPicker/ColorPickerUI.UnitTests/Helpers/ColorFormatConversionTest.cs`)
- Tests `ConvertToCMYKColor` for Black, White, Red, Green, Blue, and Mid
Gray
- Tests `ConvertToHSBColor`, `ConvertToHSIColor`, `ConvertToHWBColor`
for primary colors
- Tests `ConvertToCIEXYZColor` and `ConvertToCIELABColor` including D65
illuminant verification and negative b* assertion for Blue
- Tests `ConvertToOklabColor` and `ConvertToOklchColor` including chroma
non-negativity
- Tests `ConvertSRGBToLinearRGB` for linear and gamma paths
- Tests `ConvertToNaturalColor` for hue letter mapping (R exact match, G
and B prefix assertions)
- Tests `GetStringRepresentation` with Red, White, Green, Blue across
all 11+ format types (Decimal values use BGR byte order via `%Dv`
format: Red → "255", Blue → "16711680")
- Tests `GetDefaultFormat` returns non-empty strings for all known
format names
- Tests edge cases: empty/null format strings defaulting to hex output

### Spell-check allow list
- Added `SRGBTo` to `.github/actions/spell-check/allow/code.txt` to
resolve unrecognized-spelling alerts

### StyleCop / code analysis fixes
- Resolved SA1512, SA1515, CA1866, and CA1310 analyzer warnings to
comply with repo coding standards

### Code review fixes
- Renamed `ConvertToCIELAB_Blue_HasNegativeA` →
`ConvertToCIELAB_Blue_HasNegativeB` with corrected comment to match the
actual b* axis assertion
- Replaced hardcoded 12-host string with dynamic `Consts.MaxHostsCount +
1` in the exceeds-max-count boundary test
- Renamed `ConvertToNaturalColor_Green_ReturnsG0` →
`ConvertToNaturalColor_Green_HueStartsWithG` and
`ConvertToNaturalColor_Blue_ReturnsB0` →
`ConvertToNaturalColor_Blue_HueStartsWithB` to accurately reflect
prefix-only assertions

## Validation Steps Performed

- Verified test files follow existing MSTest patterns (`[TestClass]`,
`[TestMethod]`, `[DataTestMethod]`, `[DataRow]`)
- Verified all referenced classes and methods exist and are accessible
(correct namespaces and visibility)
- Verified namespace consistency with existing test files in each
project
- Used dynamic `Consts.MaxHostsCount` rather than hardcoded values for
all boundary tests
- Verified Decimal format expected values match the `%Dv` (BGR order)
implementation: `R + G*256 + B*65536`
- Verified test method names accurately describe their assertions

32b4080007 [CmdPal Extension Template] Adding skills and instructions (#46683) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

Adds Copilot instructions and skills to the CmdPal extension template so
that when developers create a new extension via "Create a new
extension", the generated project includes AI-assisted development
guidance out of the box.

I verified the skills on my own extension:

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

### Problem
When developers create a new Command Palette extension, the generated
project contains only source code and build configuration — no
AI-assisted development guidance. This means Copilot and other AI tools
have no context about CmdPal extension APIs, patterns, or publishing
workflows.

### Solution
Added **2 instruction files** and **5 skills** (11 markdown files total)
to the extension template at
`src/modules/cmdpal/ExtensionTemplate/TemplateCmdPalExtension/.github/`:

**Instructions:**
| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `copilot-instructions.md` | Top-level project overview: structure,
conventions, build/deploy workflow, skill inventory |
| `instructions/cmdpal-extension.instructions.md` | Comprehensive
353-line API reference covering extension architecture, all page types,
content types, commands/results, items, icons, dynamic updates, and
debugging |

**Skills:**
| Skill | Description | Why |
|-------|-------------|-----|
| `publish-extension` | Microsoft Store (MSIX) + WinGet (EXE) + GitHub
Actions automation | Every extension eventually needs distribution |
| `add-adaptive-card-form` | Adaptive Cards Designer workflow + template
JSON patterns | Forms are the primary way to collect user input |
| `add-extension-settings` | ToggleSetting / TextSetting /
ChoiceSetSetting + persistence | 12 of 20 built-in extensions use
settings |
| `add-dock-band` | Single/multi-button bands, WrappedDockItem,
live-updating | Enables persistent toolbar widgets |
| `add-fallback-commands` | FallbackCommands() + DynamicListPage +
CancellationToken | 14 of 20 built-in extensions use fallback commands |

### Code changes
- **`ExtensionTemplateService.cs`** — Added `.md` to
`_copyAsIsTemplateExtensions` so markdown files are properly handled
during template extraction
- **`template.zip`** — Regenerated to include the new `.github/`
directory (19KB → 44KB)
- **`.github/actions/spell-check/expect.txt`** — Added 17 Inno Setup
constants/flags, placeholder identifiers, and technical tokens from the
new skill files to the spell-check allowlist

### Content sources
- Instructions derived from the **SamplePagesExtension** (all 20+ sample
pages), the **CmdPal extension SDK** (IDL + toolkit base classes), and
**official MS Learn documentation**
- Publishing skill based on the [Publish Command Palette
extensions](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/powertoys/command-palette/publishing-your-extension)
docs
- Patterns verified against all 20 real CmdPal extensions in the repo

## Validation Steps Performed

1. ✅ All 7 `ExtensionTemplateServiceTests` pass:
   - `CreateExtension_BuildsExtensionFromTemplateArchive`
   - `CopyTemplateFile_RewritesTextFiles`
   - `CopyTemplateFile_CopiesUnchangedTextFilesVerbatim`
   - `CopyTemplateFile_CopiesBinaryFilesWithoutRewritingContents`
   - `TemplateFileHandling_ThrowsForUnknownExtension`
- `TemplateExtensionCategories_AreDisjointAndCoverTemplateZip` —
validates `.md` is in the extension lists
- `TemplateZipFiles_AllUseKnownHandling` — validates all zip entries
have known handling
2. ✅ Verified `template.zip` contains all 31 entries (20 original + 11
new `.md` files)
3. ✅ Verified directory structure is preserved correctly in the zip
4. ✅ Added 17 flagged tokens to `expect.txt` to resolve `check-spelling`
CI failures — all are valid technical terms (Inno Setup constants/flags,
domain names, Windows environment variables, code example placeholders)
that appear inside code blocks in the skill documentation
5. ✅ `check-spelling` CI passes with 0 new misspelled words found on the
latest commit

<p><strong>Releasing a new version</strong></p>
<p>Semanting versioning is used to release different versions of the
action. Following steps are to be followed :</p>
<ol>
<li>Create a new branch for every major version. <br />
Example, releases/v1, releases/v2.</li>
<li>For every minor and patch release for a major version, update the
corresponding release branch. <br />
Example, for releasing v1.1.1, update releases/v1.</li>
<li>Create tags for every new release (major/minor/patch). <br />
Example,v1.0.0. , v1.0.1, v2.0.1, etc. and also have tags like v1, v2
for every major version release.</li>
<li>On releasing minor and patch versions, update the tag of the
corresponding major version. <br />
Example, for releasing v1.0.1, update the v1 tag to point to the ref of
the current release. <br />
The following commands are to be run on the release\v1 branch so that it
picks the latest commit and updates the v1 tag accordingly :
(Ensure that you are on same commit locally as you want to release)</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li><code>git tag -fa v1 -m &quot;Update v1 tag&quot;</code></li>
<li><code>git push origin v1 --force</code></li>

ac28b1c29f Migrate ImageResizer to WinUI3 (#45288) 
<!-- 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
Migrate WPF/WinForms utility to WinUI3 can give us many benefit.
1. Only WinUI3 support AOT. By this change, we can remove the blocker to
make imageResizer publish with AOT enabled to improve the performance.
Through the previous testing in CmdPal, it can improve about 1.5x to 3x
perf.
2. WinUI 3 provides a modern UI and makes sure that our experiences fit
in with the Windows 11 look and feel.
3. We can merge many redundant code to the same one and reduce more
codebase and installed size in the future if we successfully migrate all
remaining WPF/WinForms utility to WinUI3.

0b7d780980 CmdPal: improve full-screen detection (#45891) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR improves fullscreen detection for the Command Palette activation
shortcut, adds a separate "busy state" guard, surfaces live notification
state diagnostics in Settings, and provides an opt-in rapid-press
breakthrough to bypass suppression.

The existing fullscreen guard lumped D3D fullscreen, presentation mode,
and the heuristic QUNS_BUSY state into a single check. This made it
impossible to opt into guarding against only true fullscreen while
ignoring false positives from apps like NVIDIA overlay. This PR splits
those concerns, adds diagnostic visibility, and gives users an escape
hatch.

The problem with the detection is that QUNS_RUNNING_D3D_FULL_SCREEN is
intended for exclusive D3D full-screen apps (some games), but it
overlaps with QUNS_BUSY for other games and apps.

  - Splits the fullscreen guard into two separate settings
- IsWindowFullscreen() now only checks QUNS_RUNNING_D3D_FULL_SCREEN and
QUNS_PRESENTATION_MODE
    - New IsAppBusy() handles the heuristic QUNS_BUSY state separately
- New IgnoreShortcutWhenBusy setting (off by default) so users aren't
silently blocked by false positives
- Migrates from hand-written P/Invoke (NativeMethods.cs, deleted) to
CsWin32-generated bindings
- Adds a live InfoBar in Activation settings when the shortcut is
limited
- Polls SHQueryUserNotificationState every 2 seconds via DispatcherTimer
- Displays a warning describing which state is active (D3D fullscreen,
presentation mode, or busy)
- New GetUserNotificationState() in WindowHelper exposes the raw state
for the UI
  - Attributes QUNS_BUSY to known trigger apps
- New FindVisibleTriggerApps() enumerates windows by class name and
process name against a known-app list
- When NVIDIA Overlay (or other known apps) are detected, the InfoBar
message names the likely culprit
  - Adds an opt-in rapid-press breakthrough to bypass suppression
    - New AllowBreakthroughShortcut setting (off by default)
- Pressing the activation shortcut 3 times within 2 seconds overrides
the guard
- The suppression is automatically bypassed when the Command Palette is
visible - to allow dismissal

c83dd972a0 Add ZoomIt panoramic screenshot functionality (#46506) 
<!-- 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 adds several ZoomIt features:

- Panorama / scrolling screenshots. The image reconstruction happens
based on visual cues and accuracy depends on scroll speed during the
capture.
- Text extraction when snipping.
- Break timer improvements (the break timer is now a screen saver,
offering the possibility to lock the computer).
- Functionality for standalone clip trimming is present but not exposed
in the XAML UI.

a non-admin user can plant arbitrary DLLs in a system PATH directory.
5. The attacker identifies a DLL that a privileged process (e.g., a
system service or an application running as a different,
higher-privileged user) attempts to load via the standard DLL search
order. The attacker crafts a malicious DLL with the same name and places
it in C:\\PowerToys\\DSCModules.

The fix is to:
* Hardening the PowerToys DSC directory for per-machine custom installs
with correct ACL enforced with wix.

eeeb6c0c93 feat(winmd-api-search): add WinMD cache generator script and related files (#45606) 
<!-- 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

Adds a new Copilot agent skill (`winmd-api-search`) that lets AI agents
discover and explore Windows desktop APIs by searching a local cache of
WinMD metadata. The skill covers Windows Platform SDK, WinAppSDK/WinUI,
NuGet package WinMDs, and project-output WinMDs — providing full API
surface details (types, members, enumeration values, namespaces) without
needing external documentation lookups.

**Key components:**

- `.github/skills/winmd-api-search/SKILL.md` — Skill definition with
usage instructions, search/detail workflows, and scoring guidance
- `scripts/Invoke-WinMdQuery.ps1` — PowerShell query engine supporting
actions: `search`, `type`, `members`, `enums`, `namespaces`, `stats`,
`projects`
- `scripts/Update-WinMdCache.ps1` — Orchestrator that builds the C#
cache generator, discovers project files, and runs the generator
- `scripts/cache-generator/CacheGenerator.csproj` + `Program.cs` — .NET
console app using `System.Reflection.Metadata` to parse WinMD files from
NuGet packages, project references, Windows SDK, and packages.config
into per-package JSON caches
- `scripts/cache-generator/Directory.Build.props`,
`Directory.Build.targets`, `Directory.Packages.props` — Empty isolation
files to prevent repo-level Central Package Management and build targets
from interfering with this standalone tool

<!-- Please review the items on the PR checklist before submitting-->
## PR Checklist

- [ ] Closes: #xxx <!-- Replace with issue number if applicable -->
- [x] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors
already. If the work hasn't been agreed, this work might be rejected
- [ ] **Tests:** Added/updated and all pass — N/A: This is an offline
agent skill (PowerShell + standalone .NET tool) with no integration into

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

### Cache Generator (`Program.cs`, ~1000 lines)

A self-contained .NET console app that:

1. **Discovers WinMD sources** from four channels:
   - `project.assets.json` (PackageReference — modern .csproj/.vcxproj)
   - `packages.config` (legacy NuGet format)
- `<ProjectReference>` bin/ output (class libraries producing `.winmd`)
   - Windows SDK `UnionMetadata/` (highest installed version)

2. **Parses WinMD files** using `System.Reflection.Metadata` /
`PEReader` to extract:
- Types (classes, structs, interfaces, enums, delegates) with full
namespace
- Members (methods with decoded signatures/parameters, properties with
accessors, events)
   - Enum values
   - Base types and type kinds

3. **Outputs per-package JSON** under `Generated Files/winmd-cache/`:
- `packages/<Id>/<Version>/meta.json` — package summary
(type/member/namespace counts)
   - `packages/<Id>/<Version>/namespaces.json` — ordered namespace list
- `packages/<Id>/<Version>/types/<Namespace>.json` — full type detail
per namespace
- `projects/<ProjectName>.json` — maps each project to its package set

4. **Deduplicates** at the package level — if a package+version is
already cached, it's skipped on subsequent runs.

### Build Isolation

Three empty MSBuild files (`Directory.Build.props`,
`Directory.Build.targets`, `Directory.Packages.props`) in the
cache-generator folder prevent the repo's Central Package Management and
shared build configuration from interfering with this standalone tool.

### Query Engine (`Invoke-WinMdQuery.ps1`)

Supports seven actions: `search` (fuzzy text search across
types/members), `type` (full detail for a specific type), `members`
(filtered members of a type), `enums` (enumeration values), `namespaces`
(list all namespaces), `stats` (cache statistics), and `projects` (list
cached projects with their packages).

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

1. **Cache generation:** Ran `Update-WinMdCache.ps1` across 310+ project
files in the repo — 8 packages parsed, 316 reused from cache, all
completed without errors
2. **Query testing on multiple projects:**
   - `ColorPickerUI` — verified Windows SDK baseline (7,023 types)
- `Microsoft.CmdPal.UI.ViewModels` (after restore) — verified 13
packages, 49,799 types, 112,131 members including WinAppSDK,
AdaptiveCards, CsWinRT, Win32Metadata
   - `runner` (C++ vcxproj) — verified packages.config fallback path
   - `ImageResizerExt` — verified project reference WinMD discovery
3. **All seven query actions validated:** `stats`, `search`,
`namespaces`, `type`, `enums`, `members`, `projects` — all returned
correct results
4. **Spell-check compliance:** SKILL.md vocabulary reviewed against
repo's check-spelling dictionaries; replaced flagged words with standard
alternatives

f0134e4448 CmdPal: Add adaptive parallel fallback processing and consistent updates (#42273) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR replaces sequential fallback processing with an adaptive
parallel dispatch model and isolates fallback work onto a dedicated
thread pool, preventing misbehaving extensions from starving the .NET
ThreadPool on blocked synchronous COM RPC call.

The other major change is allowing MainListPage to allow take control
over the debounce of search updates directly, reducing latency and
improving smoothness of the search.

- Adds `DedicatedThreadPool` — an elastic pool of background threads
(min 2, max 32) that expand on demand when all threads are blocked in
COM calls and shrink after 30s idle.
- Extracts all fallback dispatch machinery (adaptive workers,
per-command inflight tracking, pending-retry slots) from MainListPage
into a standalone FallbackUpdateManager.
- Prevents one fallback from monopolizing all threads by capping
concurrent in-flight calls per fallback to 4.
- Starts with low degree of parallelism (2) and gently scales up to half
of CPU cores per batch. If a fallback takes more than 200ms, another
worker is spawned so remaining commands aren't blocked.
- Adds `ThrottledDebouncedAction` to coalesce rapid `RaiseItemsChanged`
calls from fallback completions and user input (100ms for external
events, 50ms adjusted for keystrokes), replacing unbatched direct calls.
- Bypasses the UI-layer debounce timer for the main list page since it
now handles its own throttling, eliminating double-debounce latency.
- Introduces diagnostics for fallbacks and timing hidden behind feature
flags.

The PR adds a new option for disabling cursor wrapping, exposing three
options: None - wrapping is not disabled, Ctrl key - if this is pressed
then wrapping is disabled, Shift key - if this is pressed then wrapping
is disabled, this would enable a user to temporarily disable wrapping if
they wanted to get close to a monitor edge without wrapping (auto-hide
status bar for example).

The cursor wrap edge model has been updated to mirror Windows
monitor-to-monitor cursor movement, this should ensure there aren't any
non-wrappable edges.

A new test tool has been added 'CursorLog' this is a monitor aware,
dpi/scaling aware Win32 application that captures mouse movement across
monitors to a log file, the log contains one line per mouse movement
which includes: Monitor, x, y, scale, dpi.

The wrapping simulator has been updated to include the new wrapping
model and support mouse cursor log playback.

## Validation Steps Performed
The updated CursorWrap has been tested on a single monitor (laptop) and
multi-monitor desktop PC with monitors being offset to test
edge/wrapping behavior.

70bf430d9f CmdPal: Add a dock (#45824) 
Add support for a "dock" window in CmdPal. The dock is a toolbar powered
by the `APPBAR` APIs. This gives you a persistent region to display
commands for quick shortcuts or glanceable widgets.

The dock can be pinned to any side of the screen.
The dock can be independently styled with any of the theming controls
cmdpal already has
The dock has three "regions" to pin to - the "start", the "center", and
the "end".
Elements on the dock are grouped as "bands", which contains a set of
"items". Each "band" is one atomic unit. For example, the Media Player
extension produces 4 items, but one _band_.
The dock has only one size (for now)
The dock will only appear on your primary display (for now)

This PR includes support for pinning arbitrary top-level commands to the
dock - however, we're planning on replacing that with a more universal
ability to pin any command to the dock or top level. (see #45191). This
is at least usable for now.

This is definitely still _even more preview_ than usual PowerToys
features, but it's more than usable. I'd love to get it out there and
start collecting feedback on where to improve next. I'll probably add a
follow-up issue for tracking the remaining bugs & nits.

bb4c548a4b Update BuildWithLatestWinAppSdkDaily pipeline (#45555) 
<!-- 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 an "artifact-based" mode for consuming the
Windows App SDK in CI pipelines, allowing builds to use NuGet packages
directly from Azure DevOps pipeline artifacts instead of public/internal
feeds. This is achieved by adding new parameters and logic to pipeline
YAML and PowerShell scripts, supporting scenarios where packages are not
yet published to a feed. The changes also improve robustness when
updating package versions and add documentation for authentication
requirements.

These changes make the pipeline more flexible and robust, enabling
builds to consume unreleased or pre-release packages directly from CI
artifacts, which is especially useful for testing and validation
scenarios.

75bf64299d Creating a Common.UI.Controls lib (#45542) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

@jiripolasek FYI

This PR creates a new `Common.UI.Controls` library that contains shared
WinUI controls. We have been copying code manually between CmdPal and
Settings, and now with the new KBM we will run into the same issue.

This lib has shared controls projects can add to their proj so we have a
single source of truth.

3b874a9567 CmdPal: Port the devhome perf widgets to cmdpal (#45217) 
Pretty direct port of the code, to prove it works.

There's definitely some improvement to be made here, esp WRT to the
network and GPU listing - networks should all just be listed. Or at
least automatically track the active one. And GPU should aggregate a
bunch of stats.

And we can probably add the details to these list items.

But most importantly, _it works_.

7477b561a1 CmdPal: Add precomputed fuzzy string matching to Command Palette (#44090) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR improves fuzzy matching in Command Palette by:
- Precomputing normalized strings to enable faster comparisons
- Reducing memory allocations during matching, effectively down to zero

It also introduces several behavioral improvements:
- Strips diacritics from the normalized search string to improve
matching across languages
- Suppresses the same-case bonus when the query consists entirely of
lowercase characters -- reflecting typical user input patterns
- Allows skipping word separators -- enabling queries like Power Point
to match PowerPoint

This implementation is currently kept internal and is used only on the
home page. For other scenarios, the `FuzzyStringMatcher` from
`Microsoft.CommandPalette.Extensions.Toolkit` is being improved instead.

`PrecomputedFuzzyMatcher` offers up to a 100× performance improvement
over the current `FuzzyStringMatcher`, and approximately 2–5× better
performance compared to the improved version.

The improvement might seem small, but it adds up and becomes quite
noticeable when filtering the entire home page—whether the user starts a
new search or changes the query non-incrementally (e.g., using
backspace).

18efa0559c Introduce new utility PowerDisplay to control your monitor settings (#42642) 
<!-- 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
Introduce a new PowerToys' module PowerDisplay to let user can control
their monitor settings without touching monitor's button.

Support feature list:
Common:
1. Profiles support
2. Integration with LightSwitch (auto switch profile when theme change)
3. TrayIcon
4. Save and restore settings when startup
5. Shortcut
6. Rotation
7. GPO support
8. Auto re-discovery monitor when plugging and unplugging monitors.
9. Identify Monitors
10. Quick profile switch

Especially for DDC/CI monitor:
1. Brightness
2. Contrast
3. Volume
4. Color temperature (preset profile)
5. Input source
6. Power State (poweroff)


Design doc:
https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/yuleng/display/pr/3/doc/devdocs/modules/powerdisplay/design.md

AOT compatibility:
I designed this module for AOT from the start, so I'm pretty sure at
least 95% of it is AOT compatible. But unfortunately, PowerToys still
have a AOT blocker to block this module publish with AOT.

Currently PowerToys will check the .net file version (file version not
lib version) to avoid crash. So, all modules should reference Common.UI
or add UseWPF to avoid overwrite the .net file with different version
(which may cause crash).

Todo:
- [ ] BugBash
- [ ] Icon
- [ ] IdentifyWindow UI improvement

## Summary of the Pull Request

Add comprehensive unit tests for emoji, ZWJ sequences, skin tone
modifiers, and UTF-16 edge cases (unpaired surrogates, combining marks,
random garbage). Update matcher logic to skip normalization of lone
surrogates, preventing errors with malformed Unicode. Expand comparison
test data to cover emoji scenarios. Adds regression guards for diacritic
handling and surrogate processing.

Fixes #45246 introduced in #44809.

<!-- 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 improves icons for app items:
- Refactors icon detection and selection from the AppX manifest out of
`UWPApplication`
- Prefer *unplated* UWP app logos so icons no longer appear smaller than
expected
- Adds an icon loader based on `IShellItemImageFactory` to correctly
load large icons
- Jumbo icons loaded from shortcuts are now crisp
- Jumbo icons loaded from shortcuts are no longer scaled down
- Refactors detail loading in `AppListItem` to prevent potential
deadlocks
- Makes PWA icons more crisp
- Fixes fallback item (now it gets used not only when the icon is null,
but also when it's empty).

4d1f92199c CmdPal: Make Indexer great again - part 1 - hotfix (#44729) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces a rough hotfix for several indexer-related issues.

- Premise: patch what we can in-place and fix the core later (reworking
`SeachEngine` and `SearchQuery` is slightly trickier). This patch also
removes some dead code for future refactor.
- Adds search cancellation to the File Search page and the indexer
fallback.
- Prevents older searches from overwriting newer model state and reduces
wasted work.
- Stops reusing the search engine; creates a new instance per search to
avoid synchronization issues.
- That `SeachEngine` and `SearchQuery` are not multi-threading friendly.
- Removes search priming to simplify the code and improve performance.
- Since `SearchQuery` cancels and re-primes on every search, priming
provides little benefit and can hide extra work (for example,
cancellation triggering re-priming).
- Fixes the indexer fallback subject line not updating when there is
more than one match.
  - It previously kept the old value, which was confusing.
- ~Shows the number of matched files in the fallback result.~
- Fetching total number of rows was reverted, performance was not stable
:(
- Optimizes the indexer fallback by reducing the number of items
processed but not used.
- Only fetches the item(s) needed for the fallback itself—no extra work
on the hot path.
- Stops reusing the fallback result when navigating to the File Search
page to show more results. This requires querying again, but it
simplifies the flow and keeps components isolated.
- Fixes the English mnemonic keyword `kind` being hardcoded in the
search page filter. Windows Search uses localized mnemonic keyword
names, so this PR replaces it with canonical keyword `System.Kind` that
is universaly recognized.
- Adds extra diagnostics to `SearchQuery` and makes logging more
precise.
- DataPackage for the IndexerListItem now defers including of storage
items - boost performance and we avoid touching the item until its
needed.
- IndexerPage with a prepopulated query will delay loading until the
items are actually enumerated (to avoid populating from fallback hot
path) and it no longer takes external SearchEngine. It just recreates
everything.

dca532cf4b CmdPal: Icon cache (#44538) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR implements actual cache in IconCacheService and adds some fixes
on top for free.

The good
- `IconCacheService` now caches decoded icons
- Ensures that UI thread is not starved by loading icons by limiting
number of threads that can load icons at any given time
- `IconCacheService` decodes bitmaps directly to the required size to
reduce memory usage
- `IconBox` now reacts to theme, DPI scale, and size changes immediately
- Introduced `AdaptiveCache` with time-based decay to improve icon reuse
- Updated `IconCacheProvider` and `IconCacheService` to handle multiple
icon sizes and scale-aware caching
- Added priority-based decoding in `IconCacheService` for more
responsive loading
- Extended `IconPathConverter` to support target icon sizes
- Switched hero images in `ShellPage` to use the jumbo icon cache
- Made `MainWindow` title bar logic resilient to a null `XamlRoot`
- Fixed Tag icon positioning
- Removes custom `TypedEventHandlerExtensions` in favor of
`CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Deferred`.

The bad
- Since IconData lacks a unique identity, when it includes a stream, it
relies on simple reference equality, acknowledging that it might not be
stable. We might cache some obsolete garbage because of this, but it is
fast and better than nothing at all. Yet another task for the future me.

c5d4f992c1 Workspace: Fix an overlay issue for workspace snapshot draw (#45183) 
<!-- 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
Root cause: Workspaces uses DPI-unaware coordinates (via
GetDpiUnawareScreens()
which runs in a temporary DPI-unaware thread) to store/match window
positions
across different DPI settings. However, WorkspacesEditor itself uses
PerMonitorV2
DPI awareness for UI clarity. When assigning these DPI-unaware
coordinates directly
to WPF window properties, WPF automatically scaled them again based on
current DPI,
causing incorrect overlay positioning.

Fix: Use SetWindowPositionDpiUnaware() to bypass WPF's automatic DPI
scaling
by temporarily switching to DPI-unaware context when calling Win32
SetWindowPos.

Fix #45174

## Summary of the Pull Request
Release pipeline is keeping failed, and local build failed at ut.

This pull request introduces changes to improve how test projects are
handled during release builds, ensuring that test code is not compiled
or analyzed when not needed - in doing release build, to - succeed the
execution and reduce built time.

And, to upgrade from VS17 to VS18 in cmdpal sdk build, this is to keep
consistency with all other build step

6d4f56cd83 Always on top: Add transparent support for on topped window (#44815) 
<!-- 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
Transparency support (best-effort)
> Not every window can be made transparent. Transparency is applied on a
best-effort basis and depends on how the target app/window is built and
rendered.

## When it may not work
* Windows with special rendering pipelines (e.g., certain
hardware-accelerated / compositor-managed surfaces).
* Some tool/popup/owned windows where the foreground window isn’t the
actual surface being drawn.

## How it works (high-level)
* Resolve the best target window (preferring the top-level/root window
over transient children).
* Apply Windows’ standard layered-window alpha mechanism (per-window
opacity) to adjust transparency.
* When unpinned, Restore the original opacity/state when possible.

If transparency doesn’t change, it means the window doesn’t support this
mechanism in its current configuration.

0de2af77ac CmdPal: Make Calculator Great Again (#44594) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR continues the tradition of alphabetical progress. After
[MBGA](#41961), we move on to **MCBA — Make Calculator Better Again!**

- Introduces limited automatic correction and completion of expressions.
- The goal is to allow uninterrupted typing and avoid disruptions when a
partially entered expression is temporarily invalid (which previously
caused the result to be replaced by an error message or hidden by the
fallback).
  - The implementation intentionally aims for a sweet spot:
    - Ignores trailing binary operators.
    - Automatically closes all opened parentheses.
- It is not exhaustive; for example, incomplete constants or functions
may still result in an invalid query.
- Copy current result to the search bar.
- Adds an option to copy the current result to the search bar when the
user types `=` at the end of the expression.
  - Adds a new menu item for the same action.
  - Fixes the **Save** command to also copy the result to the query.
- Adds support for the `factorial(x)` function and the `x!` expression.
- Factorial calculations are supported up to `170!` (limited by
`double`), but display is constrained by decimal conversion and allows
direct display of results up to `20!`.
- Adds support for the `sign(x)` function.
- Adds support for the `π` symbol as an alternative to the `pi`
constant.
- Adds a context menu item to the result list item and fallback that
displays the octal representation of the result.
- Implements beautification of the query:
- Converts technical symbols such as `*` or `/` to `×` or `÷`,
respectively.
- Not enabled for fallbacks for now, since the item text should match
the query to keep the score intact.
- Implements additional normalization of symbols in the query:
  - Percent: `％`, `%`, `﹪`
  - Minus: `−`, `-`, `–`, `—`
  - Factorial: `！`, `!`
- Multiplication: `*`, `×`, `∗`, `·`, `⋅`, `✕`, `✖`, `\u2062` (invisible
times)
  - Division: `/`, `÷`, `➗`, `:`
- Allows use of `²` and `³` as alternatives to `^2` and `^3`.
- Updates the unit test that was culture sensitive to force en-US output
(not an actual fix, but at least it clears false positive for now)
- Fixes pre-parsing of scientific notation to prevent capturing minus
sign as part of it.
- Fixes normalization/rounding of the result, so it can display small
values (the current solution turned it into a string with scientific
notation and couldn't parse it back).
- Updates test with new cases
