## Summary of the Pull Request
Added '[Gliding
Cursor](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/37097)'
functionality to Mouse Pointer Crosshairs, this enables a single
hotkey/Microsoft Adaptive Hub + button to control cursor movement and
clicking. This is implemented as an extension to the existing Mouse
Pointer Crosshairs module.
Testing has been manual, ensuring that the existing Mouse Pointer
Crosshairs functionality is unchanged, and that the new Gliding Cursor
functionality works alongside Mouse Pointer Crosshairs.

/>
To test this functionality:
- Open Mouse Crosshair settings and make sure the feature is enabled.
- Press the shortcut to start the gliding cursor — a vertical line
appears.
- Press the shortcut again to slow the vertical line.
- Press once more to fix the vertical line; a horizontal line begins
moving.
- Press again to slow the horizontal line.
- When the lines meet at your target, press the shortcut to perform the
click.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
The PR includes these changes:
* Updated Mouse Pointer Crosshairs XAML to include a new hotkey to start
the gliding cursor experience
* Added two sliders for fast/slow cursor movement
* mapped the new hotkey/XAML sliders through to the existing
MousePointerHotkeys project, dllmain.cpp
* Added a 10ms tick for Gliding cursor for crosshairs/cursor movement
* Added state for gliding functionality - horiz fast, horiz slow, vert
fast, vert slow, click
* added gates around the existing mouse movement hook to prevent mouse
movement when gliding
## Validation Steps Performed
Manual testing has been completed on several PCs to confirm the
following:
* Existing Mouse Pointer Crosshairs functionality is unchanged
* Gliding cursor settings are persisted/used by the gliding cursor code
* Gliding cursor restores Mouse Pointer Crosshairs state after the final
click has completed.

## 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.

## 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

## Summary of the Pull Request
- Adds a new **"Restart Windows Explorer"** command to the **"Windows
System Commands"** provider
- Implemented using **Restart Manager** to allow restoring previously
opened Explorer windows after restart
- This depends on the *"Restore previous folder windows at logon"*
option in File Explorer Options
- An explicit timeout was added for terminating processes, since Restart
Manager uses very long timeouts 😴
- The shell process name (`explorer`) is hardcoded
- The command attempts to terminate all `explorer` processes
indiscriminately
- Execution requires confirmation (if enabled in settings)

## Summary of the Pull Request
Fixed build warnings WMC1510 in `HostsMainPage.xaml` that were
preventing proper AOT (Ahead-of-Time) compilation compatibility for XAML
data bindings.
### Problem
The Hosts module was generating multiple WMC1510 warnings during build:
```
src\modules\Hosts\HostsUILib\HostsMainPage.xaml(614,13): Warning WMC1510: Ensure the property path is trimming and AOT compatible by making use of 'Compiled Bindings (x:bind)' if possible or by specifying the 'x:DataType' directive...
```
These warnings occurred on 6 different binding expressions in the
EntryDialog ContentDialog that bound to properties of the `Entry` model
class.
### Solution
Applied the recommended fix by adding proper type information for the
XAML compiler:
1. **Added `x:DataType="models:Entry"`** to the ContentDialog element to
specify the binding context type
2. **Added `[Bindable]` attribute** to the Entry model class to ensure
WinRT compatibility
### Changes Made
- **HostsMainPage.xaml**: Added `x:DataType="models:Entry"` attribute to
the EntryDialog ContentDialog
- **Entry.cs**: Added `[Bindable]` attribute and `using
Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Data;` directive
<!-- Provide a more detailed description of the PR, other things fixed,
or any additional comments/features here -->
## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
- ✅ Resolves all 6 WMC1510 warnings in the specified lines
- ✅ Ensures AOT compilation compatibility
- ✅ No functional changes to UI behavior
- ✅ Minimal code changes (3 lines total)
- ✅ Follows Microsoft's recommended approach for WinRT data binding
The fix enables proper trimming and AOT compilation while maintaining
all existing functionality.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Adds option to choose from 3 click behaviors for each standard mouse
button:
* **Pick color and open editor**: Copies color to clipboard, saves it to
the color history and opens the editor
* **Pick color and close**: Copies color to clipboard, saves it to the
color history and exits
* **Close**: Closes color picker without copying the color
Pressing <kbd>Enter</kbd> or <kbd>Space</kbd> does what clicking the
primary button would.
Left and middle click actions execute on mouse down, right click on
mouse up for reasons discussed previously (I can't find the conversation
now)
Default settings are chosen in such a way that very little or nothing
changes by updating.
## Validation Steps Performed
Tested:
* Migrating settings from v2.0 to v2.1 (v1 to v2.1 not tested)
* Settings page displays and saves settings correctly
* Default settings load correctly
* All three click actions do what they are supposed to
* Activation behavior works as expected, doesn't affect click actions

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR replaces the original Mages-based expression evaluation engine
with a WinRT-wrapped version of Exprtk in the CmdPalCalculator module.
### Key Changes
**Expression Engine:**
- All expression parsing and evaluation now use Exprtk (via a WinRT
wrapper) instead of Mages.
**Base Conversion Handling:**
- Since Exprtk does not support non-decimal (binary, octal, hexadecimal)
input natively, added logic to convert all such inputs to decimal before
evaluation.
**Code Structure:**
- The overall logic and API surface remain unchanged except for the
engine and base conversion handling.
- All previous Mages references and dependencies have been removed.

## Validation Steps Performed
Few updates to the WinGet publish workflow action
- Use GitHub release event instead of manually making an API call to
GitHub API and then fetching the target release. The target release is
directly accessible via the event. The refactor is similar to the GitHub
action of
[microsoft/edit](https://github.com/microsoft/edit/blob/main/.github/workflows/winget.yml)
repo's workflow
- With the latest winget-create release, the preferred method for
providing the GitHub token in CI/CD environment is via the environment
variable `WINGET_CREATE_GITHUB_TOKEN`. Removed use of `--token` and
switched to environment variable. See https://aka.ms/winget-create-token
for details.

Strong-name signing embeds publisher identity into the signature of a
.NET assembly.
This is required if *any other* strong name signed project wants to take
a dependency on it.
To make this work, we need to delay-sign it with a public key (.snk
file)--e.g. say we are going to sign it, but not actually sign it--to
give it an identity and then later submit it to ESRP for final signing.
The snk file does not contain any private material.
Some minor changes were required to build properly:
- `InternalsVisibleTo` requires a PublicKeyToken, but we aren't using
it in the SDK build so it's fine to just leave it out.
- I had to mark a class `sealed` and I can only guess it's because
strong named assemblies have more guarantees?

Apps that want to show MSAL dialogs on the Command Palette would explode if they passed CmdPal's HWND to WithParentActivityOrWindow. It's not entirely clear why, but MSAL would explode if the parent HWND is hidden.
When the MSAL dialog opened, we'd hide ourselves, and badda bing, badda boom, the extension would crash.
MSAL dialogs will set us to WS_DISABLED right before the dialog is opened. Easy solution. Don't hide ourselves, if we're disabled.
