## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR fixes the crash due to binding to a trimmed property. For this
it converts runtime bindings on GridView to use `{x:Bind}` so this issue
can't happen in the future.
- Fixes a crash related to the `Visibility` property in gallery/grid
views when trimmed during AOT builds.
- Fixes ShowTitle and ShowSubtitle properties, they are now taken into
account in a view.
- Improves UI layout, removes some margins and maches the corner radius
of the item contaienr with the item content in the gallery view.
- Refactores gallery and grid views to move logic from the view to the
view model so we can x:Bind to them.
- Replaces `{Binding}` with `{x:Bind}` to improve performance and enable
compile-time binding validation.
- Properties related to grids are splatted on to the common
`IGridPropertiesViewModel` interface. Subclassing would add extra
overhead without substential benefit.
- Adds new samples to showcase various grid view configurations.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR allows user to customize a search query in Command Palette's Web
Search built-in extension. This will also solve a problem with some
browser that doesn't handle argument in form "? <query>" as it will
allow user to specify the complete URI.
- Introduces a new text box in Web Search extension settings for
specifying a custom search engine URI
- If the text box is non-empty, the provided URI is used for queries
- If left empty, the extension defaults to previous behavior, sending
queries in the format "? query"

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR introduces a small ribbon to the CmdPal for app developers. The
dev ribbon is dynamically added to the main window in local (non-CI)
builds. It shows the number of logged errors and warnings, the current
build configuration (Debug or Release), and whether it’s built with AOT.
The flyout shows the latest errors and warnings and lets you quickly
access the logs.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR introduces a new method for determining the default browser
using the Windows Shell API. The new provider selects the browser
associated with the HTTPS protocol (falling back to HTTP if necessary).
The original implementation is retained as a fallback for now, and the
codebase is prepared for future extensions (e.g., manual default-browser
selection).
As a flyby, it also fixes an issue where commands continued showing the
previous browser name if the user changed their default browser while
the Command Palette was running.
## One-liner for change log
Fixed default browser selection in the Web Search built-in extension.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR replaces the Go home when activated setting with a new
Automatically return home option. This allows users to specify how long
the Command Palette should wait after being dismissed before
automatically returning to the home page. It also introduces migration
logic to transition from the old setting to the new one.

## Validation Steps Performed
ModuleLoader tested on Windows 11, Surface Laptop 7 Pro.
## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR improves Command Palette behavior in “Last position” mode:
- Correctly handles DPI changes between monitors.
- Ensures the window is always visible — if it’s fully off-screen or has
less than 100px visible on any axis, it is re-centered.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
This was because of my recent change to the timed mode. The `Subscribe`
method on the `Observable` interval accidentally wired the completion
logic to the **Error** handler instead of the **Completion** handler
because of the use of a discard `_` instead of an empty parameter list
`()`. As a result of the incorrect overload being called, Awake stayed
in the Timed state despite the timer reaching zero.
<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
Confirmed that the timed mode times out and exits upon expiry.
Updated LightSwitch module documentation to clarify the role of
LightSwitchService and LightSwitchStateManager.

Cache of the downloaded model will make the newly added model only work
after running of powertoys, this disable the cache, so just downloaded
model will take effect immediately

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
### User-Facing Fixes
#### 1. Module list glitching when toggling enabled state
When enabling or disabling a module from the "Utilities" list, the
entire list would flicker and redraw, causing other toggles to glitch.
This made it appear as if multiple modules were being affected by a
single change.
**Root cause**
The `AllModules` ObservableCollection was being completely cleared and
re-populated on every change, forcing the UI to destroy and recreate all
list items.
**Fix**
Refactored collection updates to modify items in-place:
- Introduced `_moduleItems` master list, built once during
initialization.
- `RefreshModuleList()` now updates properties without clearing
collections
- `SortModuleList()` uses `ObservableCollection.Move()` instead of
`Clear()`/`Add()`
#### 2. Incorrect sort menu checkmark behaviour
The checkmark in the "Sort by" menu would not update correctly when
changing sort order, sometimes showing the incorrect item checked, or
even both at once.
**Root cause**
The `IsChecked` prop on the `ToggleMenuFlyoutItem` is bound to
`DashboardSortOrder`, but the binding was not updating because the
ViewModel didn't raise a property change notification when the sort
order was changed.
**Fix**
Added `OnPropertyChanged(nameof(DashboardSortOrder))` in
`SortModuleList()`.
### Code quality improvements
1. Renamed `GetShortcutModules()` to `RefreshShortcutModules()`. The
original name implied a getter, but the routine actually affects state
by rebuilding the shortcut and action lists, violating the Command-Query
Separation principle.
2. Added an `_isUpdatingFromUI` flag as a defensive measure against
circular updates when a UI toggle is changed.
3. Separation of concerns for operations on the modules list. Building,
sorting and refreshing it are separated.
4. Added comments and XML doc headers for new methods. Included brief
description of GPO locking behaviour.
<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
- Verified that toggling modules in the list no longer causes the list
to flicker or for other toggles to glitch.
- Confirmed that the sort order checkmarks update correctly and reflect
the current sort order.
- Tested GPO policy settings are still queried as before.
- Checked sort behaviour is unaffected.
