ed16ae7b2a Zoomit: Fix a issue that after trim, the video can't be saved and we can't start a new recording session (#46034) 
<!-- 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 bug was caused by a resource lifetime issue between the recording
phase and the save/trim phase. After a recording stopped,
StartRecordingAsync moved directly into the save workflow while it was
still holding the temporary recording stream and the active recording
session objects, later file operations in the save flow could fail
against that same file. Once that happened, ZoomIt could end up stuck in
a bad state where the first save did not complete cleanly and subsequent
recording attempts would no longer start until ZoomIt was restarted.

90131e35d9 CmdPal: Prevent unsynchornized access to More commands (#46020) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR fixes a crash caused by unsynchronized access to a context menu:

- Fixes `System.ArgumentException: Destination array was not long
enough` crash in `CommandItemViewModel.AllCommands` caused by
`List<T>.AddRange()` racing with background `BuildAndInitMoreCommands`
mutations
- Replaces mutable `List<T>` public surfaces with immutable array
snapshots protected by a `Lock`; writers hold the lock, mutate the
backing list, then atomically publish new snapshots via `volatile`
fields that readers access lock-free
- Applies the same snapshot pattern to `ContentPageViewModel`, using a
bundled `CommandSnapshot` object for atomic publication (since
`PrimaryCommand` drives command invocation there, not just UI hints)
- Narrows `IContextMenuContext.MoreCommands` and `AllCommands` from
`List<T>`/`IEnumerable<T>` to `IReadOnlyList<T>` to prevent consumers
from casting back and mutating
- Moves `SafeCleanup()` calls outside locks in cleanup paths to avoid
holding the lock during cross-process RPC calls

a130969d0a CmdPal: Fix selection desync when clearing search query (#45949) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

A single search-text change produces multiple ItemsUpdated callbacks. A
later soft update (ForceFirstItem=false) could overwrite the prior
force-first intent, restoring a stale sticky selection.

- Adds latched _forceFirstPending flag that survives across successive
ItemsUpdated passes until selection stabilizes or user navigates;
- Fixes scroll position on first-item reselection via UpdateLayout +
ScrollToItem + ResetScrollToTop in the deferred callback.

full width.

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

## Summary of the Pull Request
Fix #45993

Always on top have a window proc thread that will reload the settings
once file watcher trigger a reload of settings.
And always on top has a worker thread to read the settings at the same
time.
So it may happen worker thread will read the stale setting, as a result,
user change settings, and try to invoke always on top, as if nothing has
changed.
As the issue's recording shows.

f0134e4448 CmdPal: Add adaptive parallel fallback processing and consistent updates (#42273) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR replaces sequential fallback processing with an adaptive
parallel dispatch model and isolates fallback work onto a dedicated
thread pool, preventing misbehaving extensions from starving the .NET
ThreadPool on blocked synchronous COM RPC call.

The other major change is allowing MainListPage to allow take control
over the debounce of search updates directly, reducing latency and
improving smoothness of the search.

- Adds `DedicatedThreadPool` — an elastic pool of background threads
(min 2, max 32) that expand on demand when all threads are blocked in
COM calls and shrink after 30s idle.
- Extracts all fallback dispatch machinery (adaptive workers,
per-command inflight tracking, pending-retry slots) from MainListPage
into a standalone FallbackUpdateManager.
- Prevents one fallback from monopolizing all threads by capping
concurrent in-flight calls per fallback to 4.
- Starts with low degree of parallelism (2) and gently scales up to half
of CPU cores per batch. If a fallback takes more than 200ms, another
worker is spawned so remaining commands aren't blocked.
- Adds `ThrottledDebouncedAction` to coalesce rapid `RaiseItemsChanged`
calls from fallback completions and user input (100ms for external
events, 50ms adjusted for keystrokes), replacing unbatched direct calls.
- Bypasses the UI-layer debounce timer for the main list page since it
now handles its own throttling, eliminating double-debounce latency.
- Introduces diagnostics for fallbacks and timing hidden behind feature
flags.

d20ae940d5 CmdPal: Replace FiltersDropDown ComboBox with searchable dropdown (#45747) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

Replaces the ComboBox-based filter control with a DropDownButton and
Flyout containing a searchable TextBox and ListView.

- Add type-to-search: typing while button is focused opens the flyout
and filters items by name
- Designed to match appearance of the context menu
- Add keyboard navigation: `Up`/`Down `moves selection from search box,
`Enter` confirms, `Escape` clears search text (or closes if empty), `F4`
opens the dropdown
- Add `Alt+F` shortcut on ShellPage to toggle filter focus
- Style flyout to match ContextMenu (item padding, separators, search
box appearance)
- Show "No results" empty state when search matches nothing
- After confirming selection, return focus to the main search box
- Add accessibility
- Update `FilterTemplateSelector` to support both ComboBoxItem and
ListViewItem containers
- Guard against infinite loop in navigation when only separators exist

## Pictures? Moving!

The PR adds a new option for disabling cursor wrapping, exposing three
options: None - wrapping is not disabled, Ctrl key - if this is pressed
then wrapping is disabled, Shift key - if this is pressed then wrapping
is disabled, this would enable a user to temporarily disable wrapping if
they wanted to get close to a monitor edge without wrapping (auto-hide
status bar for example).

The cursor wrap edge model has been updated to mirror Windows
monitor-to-monitor cursor movement, this should ensure there aren't any
non-wrappable edges.

A new test tool has been added 'CursorLog' this is a monitor aware,
dpi/scaling aware Win32 application that captures mouse movement across
monitors to a log file, the log contains one line per mouse movement
which includes: Monitor, x, y, scale, dpi.

The wrapping simulator has been updated to include the new wrapping
model and support mouse cursor log playback.

## Validation Steps Performed
The updated CursorWrap has been tested on a single monitor (laptop) and
multi-monitor desktop PC with monitors being offset to test
edge/wrapping behavior.

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

## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR adds DispatcherQueueTimer-based debounce to SelectedItem updates
when receiving UpdateCommandBarMessage, preventing rapid consecutive
changes and prevents blinking when items change to fast (e.g. during
search). That's right - Command Palette is too fast!

c066cc3deb CmdPal: Fix window restore when the window is not WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW (#45877) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR checks the window’s actual extended style before saving the
current window size so the offset is calculated correctly. The API used
can return coordinates in different coordinate spaces depending on
whether the window has the `WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW` extended style.

This makes sense in case that settings `WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW` fails, or is
not applied (when debugger is attached).

1cb99e32ef CmdPal: Add ability to refresh the list page while preserving selection (#45882) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR adds ability to invoke soft/incremental refresh that updates
items but keep selection in place (instead of resetting it to the first
item). For now, this is implemented as a hack using an unused parameter
of `ListPage.RaiseItemsChanged`: passing the constant `-2` tells the
view model that this is an incremental change and that it should keep
the current selection.

## Summary of the Pull Request
We picked a command id for always on top, although it has little
possibility, but may collide with other window system menu item, so
before inject, try to see if it persists, if yes, then we don't inject.

9e4bf1e3e0 [Run] Replace WindowWalker's brute-force fuzzy matching algorithm with optimal DP solution (#44551) 
## Summary of the Pull Request
Window Walker's fuzzy string matching algorithm exhibits exponential
memory usage and execution time when given inputs containing repeated
characters or phrases. When a user has several windows open with long
titles (such as browser windows), it is straightforward to trigger a
pathological case which uses up gigabytes of memory and freezes the UI.
This is exacerbated by Run's lack of thread pruning, meaning work
triggered by older keystrokes consumes CPU and memory until completion.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
The existing algorithm in `FuzzyMatching.cs` is greedy, creating all
possible matching combinations of the search string within the candidate
via its `GetAllMatchIndexes()` method. After this, it selects the best
match and discards the others. This may be considered reasonable for
small search strings, but it causes a combinatorial explosion when there
are multiple possible matches where characters or substrings repeat,
even when the search string is small.

The current brute-force algorithm has time complexity of **O(n * m *
C(n,m))** where **C(n,m)** = **n!/(m!(n-m)!)** and space complexity of
**O(C(n,m) * m)** because it stores all possible match combinations
before choosing the best.

For example, matching `"eeee"` in `"eeeeeeee"` creates **C(8,4)** =
**70** match combinations, which stores 70 lists with 4 integers each,
plus overhead from the LINQ-based list copying and appending:

```csharp
var tempList = results
    .Where(x => x.Count == secondIndex && x[x.Count - 1] < firstIndex)
    .Select(x => x.ToList())   // Creates a full copy of each matching path
    .ToList();                 // Materializes all copies

results.AddRange(tempList);    // Adds lists to results
```

Each potential sub-match may be recalculated many times.

Window Walker queries across all window titles, so this problem will be
magnified if the search text happens to match multiple titles and/or if
a search string containing a single repeated character is used. For
browser windows, where titles may be long, this is especially
problematic, and similarly for Explorer windows with longer paths.

## Proposed solution
The solution presented here is to use a dynamic programming algorithm
which finds the optimal match directly without generating all
possibilities.

In terms of complexity, the new algorithm benefits from a single pass
through its DP table and only has to store two integer arrays which are
sized proportionally to the search and candidate text string lengths; so
**O(n * m)** for both time and space, i.e. polynomial instead of
exponential.

Scoring is equivalent between the old and new algorithms, based strictly
on the minimum match span within the candidate string.

## Implementation notes
The new algorithm tracks the best start index for matches ending at each
position, eliminating the need to store all possible paths. By storing
the "latest best match so far" as you scan through the search text, you
are guaranteed to minimise the span length. To recreate the best match,
a separate table of parent indexes is kept and iterated backwards once
the DP step is complete. Reversing this provides you with the same
result (or equivalent if there are multiple best matches) as the
original algorithm.

For this "minimum-span" fuzzy matching method, this should be optimal as
it only scans once and storage is proportional to the search and
candidate strings only.

(Where "Old_Explosion" is "e" repeated 9 times. Times in nanoseconds or
one millionth of a millisecond.)

It is worth noting that the results show a **single string match**. So
matching "eeeeee" against a 99-character string took 25 MB of memory and
71 milliseconds to compute. For the new algorithm, this is reduced down
to <5KB and 0.002 milliseconds. Even for a three-character repetition,
the new algorithm is >150x faster with <1% of the allocations.

**After (instantaneous results):**

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/055fc4a6-f34f-4bed-a12c-408b52274de2"
/>

## Validation Steps Performed
The verification tests in the benchmark project pass, with results
identical to the original across a number of test cases, including the
pathological cases identified earlier and edge cases such as
single-character searches.

All unit tests under `Wox.Test`, including all 38 `FuzzyMatcherTest`
entries still pass.

637b58b136 Setup-dev-envronment.ps1: Capture prereleases from vswhere (#45813) 
<!-- 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

Takes one possible approach to allowing for preview installs to be
detected.

⚠️ This has a possible side effect, in that if folks have installations
side-by-side, this would seem to update the Preview version over the
non-Preview version. That may not be preferable behavior, in which case
we could instead update `$commonPaths` to include it, which would allow
it to be found in the absence of a non-preview release.

If others have a preference I'm happy to adapt, as long as it doesn't
leave Preview users with an error.
