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

## 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.

0899961e56 Docs: consolidate instructions and fix prompt frontmatter (#44610) 
Title: Docs: consolidate Copilot instructions and prompt metadata

## Summary
- Consolidated AI guidance into a root AGENTS.md and new
`.github/instructions` files, removing older per-folder instructions.
- Scoped instruction files for pipelines, common libraries,
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

## Testing
- Not run (documentation/instructions-only change)

<!-- 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.

## 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).

## 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.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request focuses on improving the security and behavior of
Markdown file previews. The main changes include disabling HTML
rendering in Markdown to prevent potential security issues, and ensuring
that the `IsDevFilePreview` flag is set correctly when previewing
Markdown files.

**Markdown rendering and preview behavior:**

* Disabled HTML rendering in the Markdown pipeline by adding
`.DisableHtml()` in `MarkdownHelper.MarkdownHtml`, which helps prevent
XSS and other security issues in file previews.
* Explicitly set `IsDevFilePreview` to `false` when handling Markdown
files in `WebBrowserPreviewer`, ensuring correct preview state.

97c1de8bf6 CmdPal: Light, dark, pink, and unicorns (#43505) 
<!-- 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 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.

d515c67def Improve install scope detection to prevent mixed user/machine installations (#43931) 
<!-- 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
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

<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it

## 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)

## Summary of the Pull Request
1. Foundry local model name should not prefixed by fl://
2. If foundry service is shutdown, we should not just fail it, we should
start it then call FL to make availability better.

ccaa876af2 [UI Tests] Peek - fix UI tests via setting hotkeys back to Ctrl+Space combo for tests only (#43168) 
This pull request introduces a static initialization step to the
`PeekFilePreviewTests` class to ensure the correct test settings are
present before tests run. The main change is the addition of a static
constructor that creates or updates the `settings.json` file with
predefined settings, including setting the activation shortcut to
Ctrl+Space.

Test setup improvements:

* Added a static constructor to `PeekFilePreviewTests` that calls a new
`FixSettingsFileBeforeTests` method, ensuring the necessary settings
file exists and is properly configured before any tests execute.
* Implemented `FixSettingsFileBeforeTests` to create the required
directory and write a `settings.json` file with specific test
configuration, including setting the activation shortcut to Ctrl+Space
and other test-relevant properties.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
PR adds a new mouse utils module, this is 'Cursor Wrap' - Cursor Wrap
works with 1-9 monitors based on the logical monitor layout of the PC -
for a single monitor device the cursor is wrapped for the top/bottom and
left/right edges of the display - for a multi-monitor setup the cursor
is wrapped on the top/bottom left/right of the displays in the logical
display layout.

## Validation Steps Performed
Validation has been performed on a Surface Laptop 7 Pro (Intel) with a
single display and with an HDMI USB-C second display configured to be a
second monitor in top/left/right/bottom configuration - there are also
tests that run as part of the build to validate logical monitor layout
and cursor positioning.

957b653210 CmdPal: Add a micro global error handler (#41392) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces a scaled-down version of the global error handler
from #41061.

- Catches and logs virtually all unhandled exceptions.
- For UI thread exceptions, generates an additional error report:
    - One copy is saved in app's log folder for the Bug Report Tool.
- Another copy can be placed to the user’s desktop to increase
visibility and encourage report submission (disabled for now).
- Displays a message box that tells the user where to find the saved
report.

This PR is intentionally minimal and focused. The complete, more
polished solution is still planned in #41061, which should replace this
implementation in a follow-up.

<!-- Provide a more detailed description of the PR, other things fixed,

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

### Known bugs:
- Default settings not saving correctly when switching modes
- Issue: Sometimes when you switch from one mode to another, they are
supposed to update with new defaults but sometimes this fails for the
second variable. Potentially has to do with accessing the settings file
while another chunk of code is still updating.
- Sometimes the system looks "glitched" when switching themes

### To do:
- [x] OOBE page and assets
- [x] Logic to disable the chart when no location has been selected
- [x] Localization

### How to and what to test
Grab the latest installer from the pipeline below for your architecture
and install PowerToys from there.
- Toggle theme shortcutSystem only, Apps only, Both system and apps
selected
- Does changing the values on the settings page update the settings
file? %LOCALAPPDATA%/Microsoft/PowerToys/LightSwitch/settings.json
- Manual mode: System only, Apps only, Both system and apps selected
- Sunrise modes:  Are the times accurate?
- If you manage to let this run through sunset/rise does the theme
change?
- Set your theme to change within the next minute using manual mode and
set your device to sleepOpen your device and login once the time you set
has passed. --> Do your settings resync once the next minute ticks after
logging back into your device?
- Disable the service and ensure the tasks actually ends.
- While the module is disabled:
     - Make sure the shortcut no longer works
     - Make sure the last time you set doesn't trigger a theme change
- Bonus: Toggle GPO Configuration and make sure you are unable to enable
the module

08a3ae2dee Enable "Space" only to activate Peek (#41867) 
<!-- 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

Closes: #26143

This pull request introduces a new "single Space key activation" mode
for the Peek PowerToy, allowing users to open Peek with just the Space
key when File Explorer or the Desktop is focused. The implementation
includes settings UI changes, backend logic to enforce and manage this
mode, eligibility checks for activation, and telemetry. It also enhances
the user experience by disabling the activation shortcut control when
space mode is enabled and providing appropriate tooltips and
localization.

**Key changes:**

### Feature: Single Space Key Activation Mode

* Added a new setting (`EnableSpaceToActivate`) to allow users to enable
Peek activation using only the Space key, restricted to File Explorer or
Desktop focus. When enabled, the activation shortcut is forced to bare
Space and the previous shortcut is stashed (not restored on toggle-off
for simplicity). (`src/modules/peek/peek/dllmain.cpp`,

/>

### Activation Logic & Eligibility

* Implemented a foreground window hook and debounce logic to determine
if Peek can be activated by Space (only when File Explorer, Desktop, or
Peek itself is focused). This minimizes CPU overhead when user
repeatedly presses Space but not for Peek .
(`src/modules/peek/peek/dllmain.cpp`)

These changes collectively provide a safer, more accessible, and
user-friendly way to activate Peek with a single key, while ensuring
users are clearly informed and accidental activations are minimized.

6defcd52f3 Enhance UI test automation by collecting PowerToys logs on failures (#41690) 
<!-- 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 enhances the test automation infrastructure by
improving diagnostics collection when UI tests fail. Specifically, it
introduces automatic collection of PowerToys log files, in addition to
existing screenshots, to aid in debugging failed tests.

**Diagnostics and Logging Improvements:**

* Added a new method `AddLogFilesToTestResultsDirectory` to
automatically copy PowerToys log files from both `LocalLow` and
`LocalAppData` directories to the test results directory when a test
fails. The method is robust to errors and will not fail the test if log
file copying encounters issues.
* Introduced a helper method `CopyLogFilesFromDirectory` that
recursively copies `.log` files from the PowerToys directories, renaming
them to include their directory structure for easier identification in
the test results.
* Updated the test failure handling logic to invoke the new log
collection method alongside the existing screenshot collection.

## AI summary
This pull request introduces infrastructure and code to support search
functionality for PowerToys settings, including a new search index
specification, a dedicated search library, and updates to the solution
configuration. The main changes are the addition of a spec describing
how settings should be indexed and navigated, the creation of a new
`Common.Search` project with a fuzz search implementation, and updates
to the solution file to include these new components.

**Settings Search Feature Implementation**

* Documentation:
* Added a detailed specification (`settings-search.md`) describing the
structure of PowerToys settings pages, how to index settings, navigation
logic, runtime search, result grouping, build-time indexing strategy,
and corner cases.

* New Search Library:
* Added the new `Common.Search` project to the solution, including its
project file and implementation of a fuzz search service
(`FuzzSearchService<T>`), match options, match results, and search
precision scoring.

8cb2e4eaf7 refactor: Replace WiX-based registration with conditional runtime registration for Win10 context menu modules (#41275) 
<!-- 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
WiX-based registration creates persistent Shell Extension entries that:
1. Load DLLs even when the module is disabled
2. Cause cross-OS version conflicts (Win11 loading Win10 extensions)

## Changes Made
1. Removed static Shell Extension registration from PowerToys installer
2. Modified modules to register Shell Extensions during Runner startup

### Modified Modules:
- **PowerRename** (`src/modules/powerrename/dll/dllmain.cpp`)
- **NewPlus**
(`src/modules/NewPlus/NewShellExtensionContextMenu/powertoys_module.cpp`)
- **ImageResizer** (`src/modules/imageresizer/dll/dllmain.cpp`)
- **FileLocksmith**
(`src/modules/FileLocksmith/FileLocksmithExt/PowerToysModule.cpp`)

## Known Migration Issue
**Machine-level installer registry residue**: win10 with machine-level
installers may have residual Shell Extension registry entries that
persist with this change.

## AI Summary
This pull request refactors how shell extension registry keys are
managed during installation and uninstallation for several PowerToys
modules. The main change is moving registry key cleanup logic for
context menu shell extensions (ImageResizer, FileLocksmith, PowerRename,
NewPlus) from static installer definitions to new custom uninstall
actions, ensuring more reliable removal and future extensibility.

**Installer and Uninstall Refactoring**

* Added new custom actions (`CleanImageResizerRuntimeRegistryCA`,
`CleanFileLocksmithRuntimeRegistryCA`,
`CleanPowerRenameRuntimeRegistryCA`, `CleanNewPlusRuntimeRegistryCA`) to
programmatically clean up registry keys for each shell extension during
uninstall, implemented in `CustomAction.cpp` and exported in
`CustomAction.def`.

* Registered these custom actions in `Product.wxs` and ensured they run
before file removal during uninstall.

**Removal of Static Registry Key Definitions**

* Removed static registry key and component definitions for context menu
shell extensions from their respective installer `.wxs` files
(`FileLocksmith.wxs`, `ImageResizer.wxs`, `PowerRename.wxs`,
`NewPlus.wxs`), relying on custom actions for cleanup instead.

**Project File Update**

* Added `shell_ext_registration.h` to the solution file, possibly for
future shell extension registration logic.

These changes improve uninstall reliability and centralize registry
cleanup logic, making future maintenance and extension of shell
extension registration much simpler.

9a998b2056 [UI Tests] Enhance UI Test Automation and Pipeline Support for CmdPal Module (#40871) 
<!-- 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 enhancements to UI test automation,
improvements to pipeline configuration, and project structure updates.
The goal is to improve flexibility, maintainability, and efficiency in
PowerToys’ CI/CD processes.

### UI Test Enhancements:
Delayed Text Input Support
- UI tests now support character-by-character text input with
configurable delays.
- This serves as a workaround for a known CmdPal bug where input is
swallowed too quickly. The delay mitigates the issue until it is fixed
in CmdPal.
 
Centralized Environment Management
- Introduced a new class to centralize environment variable access for
UI test configuration.

CmdPal Launch Handling in Pipelines

- Adjusted test logic to handle CmdPal module startup specifically in CI
pipelines



### Pipeline Configuration Updates:
Build Artifact Customization

- Included test-related folders in pipeline build outputs for better
traceability.

Support for Build ID Targeting

- Added support for specifying PowerToys build IDs in test pipelines,
with conditional logic for specific or latest build selection.

d37105bf84 [UI Tests] Replace pixel-by-pixel image comparison with perceptual hash (pHash) for improved visual similarity detection (#40653) 
<!-- 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 replaces the previous pixel-by-pixel image comparison logic with
a perceptual hash (pHash)-based comparison using the
CoenM.ImageSharp.ImageHash library.

**Removes the need for golden images from CI pipelines**
Since the comparison is perceptual rather than binary, we no longer need
to fetch pixel-perfect golden images from pipelines for validation.
Developers can now capture screenshots locally and still get meaningful,
robust comparisons.

### Why pHash?
Unlike direct pixel comparison (which fails on minor rendering
differences), pHash focuses on the overall structure and visual
perception of the image. This provides several benefits:

- Robust to minor differences: tolerates compression artifacts,
anti-aliasing, subtle rendering changes, and border padding.
- Resilient to resolution or format changes: works even if images are
scaled or compressed differently.
- Closer to human perception: more accurately reflects whether two
images "look" the same to a person.

6d29c3a2c9 [pipeline] feat: Implement flexible UI test pipeline with configurable build and execution modes (#40490) 
<!-- 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:**
The current pipeline builds the entire solution and runs all UI tests
every time, which takes more than 2 hours to complete.

**Fix**
Make the PowerToys UI test pipeline provides flexible options for
building and testing:

### Pipeline Options

- **useLatestOfficialBuild**: When checked, downloads the latest
official PowerToys build and installs it for testing. This skips the
full solution build and only builds UI test projects.

- **useCurrentBranchBuild**: When checked along with
`useLatestOfficialBuild`, downloads the official build from the current
branch instead of main.

- **uiTestModules**: Specify which UI test modules to build and run.
Examples:
  - `UITests-FancyZones` - Only FancyZones UI tests
  - `MouseUtils.UITests` - Only MouseUtils UI tests
- `['UITests-FancyZones', 'MouseUtils.UITests']` - Multiple specific
modules
  - Leave empty to build and run all UI test modules

### Build Modes

1. **Official Build + Selective Testing** (`useLatestOfficialBuild =
true`)
   - Downloads and installs official PowerToys build
   - Builds only specified UI test projects
   - Runs specified UI tests against installed PowerToys
   - Controlled by `uiTestModules` parameter

2. **Full Build + Testing** (`useLatestOfficialBuild = false`)
   - Builds entire PowerToys solution
   - Builds UI test projects (all or specific based on `uiTestModules`)
   - Runs UI tests (all or specific based on `uiTestModules`)
   - Uses freshly built PowerToys for testing
