efc3c5e5c8 CmdPal: Add Dock API (#45432) 
This doesn't actually add the dock. It just adds the API for it.

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.

795c64cc72 CmdPal: Manually iterate package metadata tags to prevent exceptions (#45502) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR fixes an error that occurred when reading tags for the selected
package in WinGet extensions when AOTed. The issue was caused by using
LINQ over a WinRT proxy; this has been replaced with manual iteration
over the collection to avoid the failure.

The exception is now caught and logged as a warning by #44757.

09bdbfac38 build(updating): Add WinRT coroutine support and refactor async methods (#45522) 
## Summary of the Pull Request  
There are many build warnings now with like "cl : command line warning
D9047: option 'await' has been deprecated and will be re moved in a
future release." after we update to VS2026.

Introduce WinRT coroutine support by replacing `std::future` with
`IAsyncOperation` for asynchronous methods. Adjust output directories
and remove the `/await` option from project files to streamline the
build process. Update methods to utilize `std::expected` and `co_await`,
enhancing the async handling of version checks and downloads.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments  
Refactor async methods to improve performance and compatibility with
WinRT. The changes include modifying the return types of several
functions in the `updating` namespace, specifically
`uninstall_previous_msix_version_async`,
`get_github_version_info_async`, and `download_new_version_async`.

## Validation Steps Performed  
Manual testing was conducted to ensure that the new async methods
function correctly and that the application behaves as expected during
version checks and downloads. Automated tests were updated to cover the
new coroutine implementations.

3f5418132d [CmdPal] Fix context menu command items (#45499) 
maintainers: we talked about this at length on Teams

> Seems like adding `IExtendedAttributesProvider` onto `CommandItem` is
what broke this. I don't know why. I'm not gonna pretend to understand
the cswinrt voodoo that's causing it to pick `IEAP` as the leaf
interface instead of `ICommandContextItem`.

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_.

521d34f1eb CmdPal: Add a button to toggle the visibility of the dev ribbon (#45379) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR adds an option to toggle visibility of the dev ribbon. The state
is only temporary and does not persist across app runs -- that is
intentional to prevent the dev from turning it off permanently.

This PR adds two fixes to prevent Command Palette’s main window from
stealing focus while or after it is being hidden.

1) GoBack was not forwarding the withAnimation and focusSearch
parameters when chaining to GoHome.

2) Page focus after load can be triggered too late—when the window is
already hidden—causing CmdPal to regain focus unexpectedly.

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).

18c6d6b0f3 CmdPal: Improve loading of application icons (uwp and jumbo icons) - part 2 (#44973) 
<!-- 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.

## 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

4986915dae CmdPal: Batch ViewModel property change notifications (#44545) 
<!-- 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 introduces batching for property change notifications emitted by
Command Palette view models. It also adds a secondary notification path
that is guaranteed to execute on a background thread.

- Introduces **`BatchUpdateManager`**, which batches
`INotifyPropertyChanged` events from view models and replays them in a
coordinated way.
- Slightly reduces UI thread contention and allows related UI updates to
be applied together, reducing visual "tearing" in list items (when
title, subtitle and icon are updated separately with slight delay).
Batching won't mitigate all occurences, but its good enough and works
auto-magically.
- Adds a complementary background notification event that:
  - Is guaranteed to run on a background thread.
  - Fires before UI-thread notifications.
- Allows consumers to attach handlers without blocking COM out-of-proc
objects.

- Updates `TopLevelViewModel` to subscribe to the background property
change event instead of the UI-thread one.
- This avoids unintentionally shifting work onto the UI thread and
re-triggering expensive operations there.
- Previously, because `TopLevelViewModel` wraps another view model and
our view models raise `INPC` on the UI thread by default, its handler
was executing on the UI thread and re-raising the event as
`IListItem.PropertyChanged`, causing `FetchProperty` methods to run on
the UI thread again.
- Ideally, `TopLevelViewModel` should be reworked to address this more
cleanly, but that turned out to be a non-trivial change. This PR applies
a targeted mitigation in the meantime.

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

4694e99477 CmdPal: Upgrade FuzzyStringMatcher in the Command Palette Extensions SDK (#44809) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR upgrades the `FuzzyStringMatcher` used in the Command Palette
Extensions SDK with a focus on performance, memory efficiency, and
improved matching behavior, while preserving compatibility with the
existing API. This PR is a backwards compatible alternative to
precomputed fuzzy matcher introduces in another PR.

The new implementation is designed as a drop-in replacement. Any
behavioral differences are intentional and primarily related to improved
diacritic handling, scoring consistency, and correctness of highlight
positions.

Changes:
- Keeps the existing public API intact and preserves behavior in nearly
all cases.
- Enables diacritics-insensitive matching by default, improving results
across accented and non-English languages.
- Significantly improves performance, with measured speedups in the
range of ~5–20 times, depending on scenario and input size.
- Reduces heap allocations to near zero by using stack allocation and
pooled buffers instead of large per-match DP arrays.
- Simplifies and optimizes matching logic:
  - Folds the haystack only once per match.
  - Uses rolling DP buffers instead of `O(query × target)` tables.
- Replaces large match tables with a compact bitset when tracking
highlight positions.
- Improves consistency and correctness:
  - Normalizes path separators (`\` → `/`) during folding.
- Avoids returning highlight positions for PinYin-only matches where no
1:1 mapping exists.
- Introduces unit tests, including comparison tests against the legacy
implementation to validate compatibility.

## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR fixes centering of main window, when the window also moves
between move display with a different DPI.

- The centered position was calculated using the current window width
and height, but those values change after the window is moved to
accommodate the new display’s DPI.
- Calculations have been refactored out of main window to a helper
class.

5f124cec55 CmdPal: Cache and show information for disabled command providers (#44278) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR adds a cache of command provider information so we can show
providers even when the command provider isn’t loaded.

It also updates the description for disabled extensions on the
Extensions page to always include the extension name.

Finally, it adds a placeholder icon for cases where an extension icon
isn’t loaded. Note that this doesn’t address fully transparent icons
that some extensions may inherit from the default template.

<!-- 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 adds three parts of the original big bad global error handler
(error report builder, sanitization and internal tools UI).

### Error Report Generation

- `ErrorReportBuilder`: Produces a detailed, technical report with
system context.
- Comprehensive data: OS version, architecture, culture, app version,
elevation status, etc.
- Exception analysis: Coalesces nested exception messages and HRESULT
details for clearer diagnostics.

<details><summary>Example</summary>
<pre>

This is an error report generated by Windows Command Palette.
If you are seeing this, it means something went a little sideways in the
app.
You can help us fix it by filing a report at
https://aka.ms/powerToysReportBug.

(While you’re at it, give the details below a quick skim — just to make
sure there’s nothing personal you’d prefer not to share. It’s rare, but
sometimes little surprises sneak in.)

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

**Build System & Configuration:**
- Updated `Cpp.Build.props` to use `v145` (VS 2026) as the default
`PlatformToolset`, with fall back to `v143` for VS 2022.
- Configured C++ Language Standard:
  - `stdcpplatest` for production projects.
- Removed explicit `<PlatformToolset>` definitions from individual
project files (approx. 37 modules) to inherit correctly from the central
`Cpp.Build.props`.

**Code Refactoring & Fixes:**
- Updated `DrawingHelperTests.cs` in MouseJump Unit Test to ease the
pixel difference tolerance. This became an issue after switching to the
new VS2026 build agent.
<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed

- Validated successful compilation of the entire solution. Similar
updates have been made to the .NET 10 branch, but these are much cleaner
and will be merged into that branch once fully confirmed working.

08715a6e46 CmdPal: Allow list item context menu (#45086) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR enables pointer-invoked context menus for list items when the
list contains at least one item, including the primary item.

The command bar "More" button or Ctrl+K hotkey remain unaffected - the
menu is not accessible through those.

13ce5db6b1 CmdPal: Add solution filter for Microsoft.CmdPal.Ext.PowerToys (#45096) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR adds a new solution filter (.slnf) for the
Microsoft.CmdPal.Ext.PowerToys extension project and its dependencies.

This is added as a separate solution filter alongside
CommandPalette.slnf, since the extension is not directly dependent on
Command Palette. Instead, it relies on the public SDK distributed via
NuGet. It also depends on other PowerToys projects, which would
unnecessarily clutter CommandPalette.slnf.

f0831742d6 CmdPal: Remove deadlock bait from AppListItem (#45076) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR removes a Task.Wait() call from lazy-loading AppListItem details
that could be invoked on the UI thread and lead to a deadlock.

It now follows the same pattern previously used for loading icons in the
same class, which has proven to work well.

Prevents #44938 from stepping on this landmine.

Cherry-picked from #44973.

b5e9f346da [CmdPal] Fix details pane not hiding when item initialization fails (#44757) 
Fixes #44487

## Summary
Fixed issue where the details pane would display stale information when
navigating from an item with details to an item without details or where
details failed to load.

## Changes
1. **ListViewModel.cs**: Added HideDetailsMessage when SafeSlowInit()
fails to ensure previous details are cleared
2. **InstallPackageListItem.cs**: Added exception handling for WinRT
marshaling errors when accessing metadata.Documentations and
metadata.Tags collections

The fix ensures graceful degradation - if certain metadata collections
fail to load due to WinRT issues, the details pane still displays
available information rather than failing completely.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
  The SpongebotPage example in initial-sdk-spec.md had two problems:

  Before:
```cs
  public void IFallbackHandler.UpdateQuery(string query) {
      // ...
      return Task.CompletedTask.AsAsyncCommand();
  }
```

  After:
```cs
  public void UpdateQuery(string query) {
      // ...
  }
```

 The fix aligns the example with actual implementations in the codebase.
