## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR adds basic drag-and-drop support for items in list and grid
views.
It introduces two new properties on `ListItem`, backed by
`IExtendedAttributesProvider`: `DataPackage` and `DataPackageView`.
These properties are mutually exclusive.
`DataPackage` serves as a convenience property allowing the item to
retain the underlying object without risk of losing it. Across the
extension boundary, only the immutable `DataPackageView` snapshot is
transferred. When `DataPackage` is set, `DataPackageView` is derived
from it.
This PR includes initial concrete drag-and-drop implementations for:
- File Indexer
- Clipboard History
**Todo / Missing pieces**
- [x] Extend `DataPackage` support to top-level command items, enabling
scenarios such as index fallback ~
- [x] Provide automatic drag-and-drop for unconfigured list items (e.g.,
copying title and subtitle as text)
- [x] Keep CmdPal open
- [ ] ~Clipboard commands (since we have the DataPackage...)~
- [ ] ~Improve logging~

## Summary of the Pull Request
Fixes an issue where clicking on a clipboard history item creates a
duplicate entry at the top of the history.
## Problem
When a user clicks on a clipboard history item in the Advanced Paste
clipboard history menu, the item gets duplicated to the top of the
history. This makes it impossible to delete items since clicking the
three-dots menu to delete first duplicates the item.
## Root Cause
The `ClipboardHistory_ItemInvoked` handler was using
`ClipboardHelper.SetTextContent()` and
`ClipboardHelper.SetImageContent()`, which internally call
`Clipboard.SetContentWithOptions()`. This creates a new clipboard
history entry with the same content.
## Solution
Use `Clipboard.SetHistoryItemAsContent(ClipboardHistoryItem)` instead,
which sets the clipboard content from an existing history item without
creating a new history entry.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Improves SVG preview compatibility in Peek by using WebView2 instead of
`SvgImageSource`.
## Problem
`SvgImageSource` has limited SVG feature support and fails to render
SVGs with advanced features like `clipPath`, complex gradients, or
certain namespace configurations. This results in black previews or
icon-only display for many SVG files.
## Solution
Render SVG files using WebView2 which provides full SVG specification
support through the browser engine.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR introduces user settings for app mode themes (dark, light, or
system) and background customization options, including custom colors,
system accent colors, or custom images.
- Adds a new page to the Settings window with new appearance settings
and moves some existing settings there as well.
- Introduces a new core-level service abstraction, `IThemeService`, that
holds the state for the current theme.
- Uses the helper class `ResourceSwapper` to update application-level
XAML resources. The way WinUI / XAML handles these is painful, and XAML
Hot Reload is pain². Initialization must be lazy, as XAML resources can
only be accessed after the window is activated.
- `ThemeService` takes app and system settings and selects one of the
registered `IThemeProvider`s to calculate visuals and choose the
appropriate XAML resources.
- At the moment, there are two:
- `NormalThemeProvider`
- Provides the current uncolorized light and dark styles
- `ms-appx:///Styles/Theme.Normal.xaml`
- `ColorfulThemeProvider`
- Style that matches the Windows 11 visual style (based on the Start
menu) and colors
- `ms-appx:///Styles/Theme.Colorful.xaml`
- Applied when the background is colorized or a background image is
selected
- The app theme is applied only on the main window
(`WindowThemeSynchronizer` helper class can be used to synchronize other
windows if needed).
- Adds a new dependency on `Microsoft.Graphics.Win2D`.
- Adds a custom color picker popup; the one from the Community Toolkit
occasionally loses the selected color.
- Flyby: separates the keyword tag and localizable label for pages in
the Settings window navigation.

## Validation Steps Performed
## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR replaces the current LINQ-based results compilation query of
combining, sorting and filtering the four result sources with a 3-way
merge operation plus a final append. It provides a performance increase
as well as a significant reduction in allocations.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
The existing code:
1. Limits the number of apps returned to a pre-defined maximum.
2. Sorts the apps list.
3. Appends filtered items, scored fallback items and the apps list
together.
4. Sorts the three lists based on their score.
5. Appends the non-scored fallback items, with empty items excluded.
6. Selects just the `Item` from each.
7. Creates an array from the enumerable.
```csharp
if (_filteredApps?.Count > 0)
{
limitedApps = _filteredApps.OrderByDescending(s => s.Score).Take(_appResultLimit).ToList();
}
var items = Enumerable.Empty<Scored<IListItem>>()
.Concat(_filteredItems is not null ? _filteredItems : [])
.Concat(_scoredFallbackItems is not null ? _scoredFallbackItems : [])
.Concat(limitedApps)
.OrderByDescending(o => o.Score)
// Add fallback items post-sort so they are always at the end of the list
// and eventually ordered based on user preference
.Concat(_fallbackItems is not null ? _fallbackItems.Where(w => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(w.Item.Title)) : [])
.Select(s => s.Item)
.ToArray();
```
We can exploit the fact that each of the three 'scored' lists are
pre-ordered, and replace the query with a 3-way merge and final append
of the non-scored fallback items.
By pre-sizing the results array we can avoid all the extra allocations
of the LINQ-based solution.
### Proof of pre-ordering
In `UpdateSearchText`, each of the lists is defined by calling
`ListHelpers.FilterListWithScores`:
```csharp
// Produce a list of everything that matches the current filter.
_filteredItems = [.. ListHelpers.FilterListWithScores<IListItem>(newFilteredItems ?? [], SearchText, scoreItem)];
```
```csharp
_scoredFallbackItems = ListHelpers.FilterListWithScores<IListItem>(newFallbacksForScoring ?? [], SearchText, scoreItem);
```
```csharp
var scoredApps = ListHelpers.FilterListWithScores<IListItem>(newApps, SearchText, scoreItem);
...
_filteredApps = [.. scoredApps];
```
In `FilterListWithScores`, the results are ordered by score:
```csharp
var scores = items
.Select(li => new Scored<T>() { Item = li, Score = scoreFunction(query, li) })
.Where(score => score.Score > 0)
.OrderByDescending(score => score.Score);
```
(This also makes the existing `OrderByDescending()` for `_filteredApps`
before the LINQ query redundant.)
### K-way merge
Since the results are pre-sorted, we can do a direct merge in linear
time. This is what the new `MainListPageResultFactory`'s `Create`
achieves. As the lists may be different sizes, the routine does a 3-way
merge, followed by a 2-way merge and a single list drain to finish. Each
element is only visited once.
### Benchmarks
A separate benchmark project is
[here](https://github.com/daverayment/MainListBench), written with
Benchmark.net.
The project compares the current LINQ-based solution against:
1. An Array-based algorithm which pre-assigns a results array and still
sorts the 3 scored sets of results. This shows a naive non-LINQ solution
which is still _O(n log n)_ because of the sort.
2. The k-way merge, which is described above. _O(n)_ for both time and
space complexity.
3. A heap merge algorithm, which uses a priority queue instead of
tracking each of the lists separately. (This is _O(n log k)_ in terms of
time complexity and _O(n + k)_ for space.)
Care is taken to ensure stable sorting of items. When preparing the
benchmark data, items with identical scores are assigned to confirm each
algorithm performs identically to the LINQ `OrderBy` approach, which
performs a stable sort.
Results show that the merge performs best in terms of both runtime
performance and allocations, sometimes by a significant margin. Compared
to the LINQ approach, merge runs 400%+ faster and with at most ~20% of
the allocations:

### Cons
1. Existing performance is not currently an issue. This could be seen as
a premature optimisation.
2. The new code introduces an inherent contract between the results
compilation routine and the lists, i.e. that they must be sorted.
This PR was really for research and learning more about CmdPal (and a
bit of algorithm practice because it's Advent of Code time), so please
feel free to reject if you feel the cons outweigh the pros.

## Validation Steps Performed
- Added unit tests to exercise the new code, which confirm that the
specific ordering is preserved, and the filtering and pre-trimming of
the apps list is performed as before.
- Existing non-UI unit tests run. NB: I _could not_ run any UI Tests on
my system and just got an early bail-out each time.
- Manual testing in (non-AOT) Release mode.

## Validation Steps Performed
Before
After
I noticed the double "active" line around the items when the ListPage is
focused. I was unable to find where that is defined. Ideally, the
black-border would go away.
I tested with AOT turned on.
The behavior accounts for suggestions. If the SearchBar is focused and
there is a suggestion, right-arrow will [continue] to complete the
suggestion.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request updates several dependencies to newer versions in the
`Directory.Packages.props` file. The main focus is on upgrading the
Microsoft Windows App SDK packages to ensure the project uses the latest
features and bug fixes.
Dependency version updates:
* Upgraded `Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK`,
`Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK.Foundation`, `Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK.AI`, and
`Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK.Runtime` to their latest respective versions,
replacing previous 1.8.25* releases with newer builds.

## Summary of the Pull Request
The old implementation checked
`HKLM\Software\Classes\powertoys\InstallScope` first. If this key
existed (even as a remnant from incomplete uninstall), it would
immediately return `PerMachine` without validating the actual
installation.
### Fix
- Uses Windows standard Uninstall registry (most reliable source of
truth)
- Identifies PowerToys Bundle by exact `BundleUpgradeCode` GUID match
- MSI component entries (always in HKLM) are automatically ignored since
they don't have `BundleUpgradeCode`
- Checks HKCU first, then HKLM, properly handling the fact that Bundle
location reflects true install scope

## Summary of the Pull Request
SettingsUtils is initialized multiple times over the whole solution.
This creates one singeltone instance (with the default settings), so it
only has to be initialized once (and improve performance a bit with
that)

I've completed a rough implementation of pinyin support, but since I'm
currently unsure where to add the toggle for pinyin support, this
feature is enabled by default for now.
