## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR makes passing arguments from a new instance to the existing one
more resilient:
- Fixes situations where `x-cmdpal://` links might not work as expected.
Instead of performing the intended action (e.g., `x-cmdpal://background`
or `x-cmdpal://settings`), they could incorrectly just summon the main
window.
- Refactors the `AppInstance.Activated` handler to be synchronous.
- The handler blocks `AppInstance.RedirectActivationToAsync` in the
caller.
- If it runs asynchronously (or offloads work to another thread,
including the UI thread), the calling instance may exit too soon,
preventing the activation arguments from being read.
- Adds a timeout and ensures the semaphore is always released so the
application can exit gracefully under all conditions.
- Adjusts handling for cases where the source application exits before
passing arguments by lowering the log severity to **Warning** and
providing a clearer, more descriptive message.

## Validation Steps Performed
Tested with x-cmdpal://settings under normal conditions, and with CmdPal
deliberately slowed down to take its sweet time handling the arguments
(so the calling instance times out).
## Summary of the Pull Request
This change prevents unnecessary cloaking of a visible window when
showing it to the user, significantly reducing flickering. Some minor
flickering remains due to page content refreshes, but it is much less
noticeable.
New windows are now pre-cloaked immediately after creation. Cloaking is
explicitly applied only when an animation is expected (e.g., when
minimized).
Additionally, this change removes explicit window activation, as the
summon mechanism will activate the window as needed.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR ensures that fallback items consistently display an icon in
Settings window:
- Adds a new `InitialIcon` property to `TopLevelViewModel` to store the
first non-empty icon received.
- Uses `InitialIcon` in the extension settings page when listing
fallback items belonging to an extension.
- Sets initial icons in the constructor for fallback items that were not
previously initialized:
- Date & Time extension
- System Commands extension
- The Windows Settings extension had its icon initially set, but it was
cleared when the item was updated for an empty search query. By
persisting the initial icon, subsequent updates no longer affect how the
fallback item is represented in Settings.
This change is considered a hotfix for the current state.
The ideal long-term solution would be to declare the `DisplayIcon` on
fallback item explicitly, similar to `DisplayTitle`.

Seems as though that doing `.ToArray` on the `IIterable<>` things we get
back from the winget API were not trim-safe. I'm not entirely sure why.
But we're totally okay just manually iterating over these things. That
works like a charm.
Closes#41172
As a drive-by, I wrapped the line from #41025 in a try-catch. If that
doesn't fix it, hopefully it at least gives us more logging.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Added `ShouldConstrainToRootBounds="False"` to the Flyout element,
allowing it to extend beyond the bounds of its parent container. This
allows the menu to always open with top-left corner at the cursor
position as is common for the context menus.
This affects the menu only when opened as a context menu on the list
item (e.g. mouse right-click), not when opened from the Command Bar
(that opens same as before).

## 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.

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
};
```
## 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)`)

## 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.

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
## 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.

decorative roles in the application. For cases where keyboard navigation
on an IconBox is desired, focusability can be enabled explicitly on the
specific instance.

## Validation Steps Performed
_⚠️ targets #39955_
This adds history support to the new run page.
* It'll initialize the history with the history from the run dialog, if
there is any.
* Any new commands that are run, or files/dirs that are opened will also
get added to the history
* history will persist across reboots
This entirely rewrites the shell page. It feels a lot more like the old
run dialog now.
* It's got icons for files & exes
* it can handle network paths
* it can handle `commands /with args...`
* it'll suggest files in that path as you type
* it handles `%environmentVariables%`
* it handles `"Paths with\spaces in them"`
* it shows you the path as a suggestion, in the text box, as you move
the selection
References:
Closes#39044Closes#39419Closes#38298Closes#40311
### Remaining todo's
* [x] Remove the `GenerateAppxManifest` change, and file something to
fix that. We are still generating msix's on every build, wtf
* [x] Clean-up code
* [x] Double-check loc
* [x] Remove a bunch of debug printing that we don't need anymore
* [ ] File a separate PR for moving the file (indexer) commands into a
common project, and re-use those here
* [x] Add history support again! I totally tore that out
* did that in #40427
* [x] make `shell:` paths and weird URI's just work. Good test is
`x-cmdpal://settings`
### further optimizations that probably aren't blocking
* [x] Our fast up-to-date is clearly broken, but I think that's been
broken since early 0.91
* [x] If the exe doesn't change, we don't need to create a new ListItem
for it. We can just re-use the current one, and just change the args
* [ ] if the directory hasn't changed, but we typed more chars (e.g.
`c:\windows\s` -> `c:\windows\sys`), we should cache the ListItem's from
the first query, and re-use them if possible.

_targets #40504_
Major refactoring for #40113
This moves a large swath of the codebase to a `.Core` project. "Core"
doesn't have any explicit dependencies on "extensions", settings or the
current `MainListPage`. It's just a filterable list of stuff. This
should let us make this component a bit more reusable.
This is half of a PR. As I did this, I noticed a particular bit of code
for TopLevelVViewModels and CommandPaletteHost that was _very rough_.
Solving it in this PR would make "move everything to a new project" much
harder to review. So I'm submitting two PRs simultaneously, so we can
see the changes separately, then merge together.
_targets #40482_
ref #40113
A smaller refactor, to be sure.
This just moves the instantiation of PageViewModel objects out of the
ShellViewModel, and into its own class.
The idea being that other page types could be added, just by extending
that factory (or implementing your own), and then also handling those
new VMs in your ShellPage.xaml.cs equivalent.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Base on https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/40486 we can easily
use lab package. So all blocker has been resolved.
1. Replace CommunityToolkit.WinUI.UI.Controls.Markdown with
CommunityToolkit.Labs.WinUI.Controls.MarkdownTextBlock
2. Add default markdown style config to align some configuration with
the original one. (but still have some gap)
3. Add new configuration in pipeline to control the AOT enable/disable.

## Validation Steps Performed
Previously, the `KeyDown` handler for `Alt+Left Arrow` was not invoked
if the search bar contained text. By moving the logic to the
`PreviewKeyDown` handler, we ensure the shortcut is handled regardless
of the search bar’s content.
The handler was added to the `ShellPage`'s `PreviewKeyDown` handler,
rather than the one on `SearchBar`. This will allow the shortcut to be
available throughout the entire window and will ensure it works from
within the page content, e.g. from forms

Kinda mental that the viewmodel had this hard dependency.
So instead I added a service for providing the root page for the app.
Theoretically, you could add a different `IRootPageService`, and give
out
a different root page.
ref #40113
## Summary of the Pull Request
Otherwise, it silently fails to hide the window.
The problem is not visible to naked eye, since the window is already
cloaked.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Ensures the Command Palette main window is brought to the front and made
topmost when shown. When the palette is hidden (cloaked but not
destroyed), it is moved to the bottom of the window stack to avoid
interfering with the user workflow. Dynamic removal of the topmost flag
is a precaution to prevent the cloak window from bothering user in
accessibility tools that too much -- in case they don't recognize cloak
windows as not visible).

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
## Validation Steps Performed
I've tested that the Command Palette window is display over other
top-most windows (e.g. Task Manager). I've tested that the command
palette is displayed over the Rainbow gadgets when it was originally
under the gadget.
This adds settings to each provider to allow us to control if individual
fallback items are enabled or not, regardless of the provider being
enabled.
This is relevant to _all the threads where disabling fallback commands
came up_
This just adds another section to each provider's settings page, with a
list of the fallback commands.
This also has nothing to do with the "top-level apps search", which is
not really a fallback command - it's its own thing.
Ref #38288. Doesn't close that, because this only controls
enable/disable, not ranking.
From here, we should be able to add a dedicated page in the SUI that
shows all the fallbacks across all providers. That's where we'll enable
the ordering.
