ed47bceac2 [Settings] Fix Quick Accent language list being cropped and not reflowing contents (#45986) 
## Summary of the Pull Request
The Character sets list on the Quick Accent settings page had a fixed
3-column layout. This caused two negative user experience issues that
this PR solves:

1. The contents were clipped. When the settings window was resized to be
smaller, the rightmost column(s) were cut off rather than reflowing.
2. The control displayed unnecessary horizontal and vertical scrollbars
nested within the page.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

I _believe_ the root cause is that the `ItemsWrapGrid` is contained
within the `ListView`'s built-in `ScrollViewer` which was able to expand
infinitely horizontally. During initial layout, the `MaxWidth` binding
to the parent `SettingsGroup`'s `ActualWidth` was respected and the
layout clamped the measurement appropriately, resulting in the correct
number of columns. However, on resize the unbounded `ScrollViewer`'s
infinite horizontal constraint took precedence and the reflow into fewer
columns never happened - the `ScrollViewer` never invalidated its
children's measure because, from its perspective, their available width
(infinite) had not changed. (I think - WinUI's layout and measure cycle
melts my brain.)

The fix required replacing the `MaxWidth` binding on `ItemsWrapGrid`
with a `SizeChanged` handler on the parent `SettingsCard`. The handler
reads the parent card's padding (58 pixels left and 44 pixels right) and
explicitly sets the language set `ListView.MaxWidth` accordingly. A
`Loaded` handler for the card ensures the correct layout on first
render.

The HorizontalScrollbar that caused the layout issue has been removed.

## Validation Steps Performed

(All manual tests.)

Verified that:
- The 3-column layout is shown when there is enough space (this is the
maximum number of columns because of the page-level constraint.
- The 3-column layout correctly resizes to 2-column then to a
single-column layout when the window is resized, then back again when
made larger.
- The single-column list is shown when the Settings window is opened at
minimum size.
- Selection behaviour performed identically.

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

## Summary of the Pull Request
This adds several ZoomIt features:

- Panorama / scrolling screenshots. The image reconstruction happens
based on visual cues and accuracy depends on scroll speed during the
capture.
- Text extraction when snipping.
- Break timer improvements (the break timer is now a screen saver,
offering the possibility to lock the computer).
- Functionality for standalone clip trimming is present but not exposed
in the XAML UI.

2cf7d0f5ec Fix for duplicated dockbands (#46438) 
<!-- 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

CommandProviderWrapper.PinDockBand had no duplicate check and it blindly
called .Add() on the settings list every time. This allowed the same
extension to be pinned multiple times to the dock. Once duplicates
existed in settings, LoadTopLevelCommands would faithfully re-create all
of them on every CommandsChanged reload, making edit-mode unpin appear
broken (unpin removes one, reload brings them all back).

 **Fix**
- CommandProviderWrapper.PinDockBand: Check all three band lists
(Start/Center/End) for an existing (ProviderId, CommandId) match before
adding; early-return if already pinned.
- CommandProviderWrapper.LoadTopLevelCommands: Track seen command IDs in
a HashSet when iterating AllPinnedCommands; skip duplicates so they
never materialize in the UI even if present in settings.

7cb0f3861a CmdPal: Fix duplicate "Pin to..." context commands on top-level items (#46458) 
Top-level commands on the home page showed duplicate pin context entries
— e.g., "Pin to Dock" appearing twice, or contradictory "Pin to Dock" +
"Unpin from dock" on the same command.

## Summary of the Pull Request

When the window is hidden while a sub-page is active,
`ShellViewModel.Receive(WindowHiddenMessage)` re-navigates to the root
page while `CurrentPage` still points to the sub-page.
`GetProviderContextForCommand` therefore returns the sub-page's
`ProviderContext` (which has `SupportsPinning = true`, `ProviderId =
<extension>`) for the new home-page `ListViewModel`.

With that wrong context, `UnsafeBuildAndInitMoreCommands` runs for each
`ListItemViewModel` wrapping a `TopLevelViewModel` and injects a second
set of pin commands — using the wrong provider's dock/top-level state —
on top of the ones `TopLevelViewModel.BuildContextMenu()` already
injected via `AddMoreCommandsToTopLevel` with the correct per-item
provider context.

**Changes:**

- **`ShellViewModel.cs` (root cause):** Move `isMainPage` evaluation
before `providerContext` is computed; use `CommandProviderContext.Empty`
when navigating to the root page, regardless of what `CurrentPage` is at
that moment.

  ```csharp
  var isMainPage = command == _rootPage;
  var providerContext = isMainPage
      ? CommandProviderContext.Empty
: _appHostService.GetProviderContextForCommand(message.Context,
CurrentPage.ProviderContext);
  ```

- **`CommandPaletteContextMenuFactory.cs` (defensive guard):** In
`UnsafeBuildAndInitMoreCommands`, bail early when the page context
supports pinning and `commandItem.Model.Unsafe is TopLevelViewModel`.
`BuildContextMenu()` on `TopLevelViewModel` already populates pin
commands via `AddMoreCommandsToTopLevel` with the item's own provider
context; adding them again here is always wrong regardless of how the
page context ended up. The `SupportsPinning` check is evaluated first to
skip the `.Unsafe` type-test in the common non-pinning case.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

The two fixes are complementary: the `ShellViewModel` change prevents
the wrong `ProviderContext` from ever reaching the home-page
`ListViewModel`; the `CommandPaletteContextMenuFactory` guard ensures
`TopLevelViewModel`-backed items are never double-processed even if some
other future code path sets the page context incorrectly.

The guard in
`CommandPaletteContextMenuFactory.UnsafeBuildAndInitMoreCommands` is
ordered so that `providerContext.SupportsPinning` (a cheap bool property
read) is evaluated before `commandItem.Model.Unsafe is
TopLevelViewModel`. This means the field access and type check are
skipped entirely for the common non-pinning case, addressing reviewer
feedback about unnecessary work on the hot path.

## Validation Steps Performed

Manually reproduced by opening CmdPal, navigating into a sub-page (e.g.,
"Search the Web"), closing the window, reopening, and verifying the
context menu for top-level commands shows exactly one "Pin to Dock" (or
"Unpin from dock") entry and at most one top-level pin action — no
duplicates or contradictory pairs.

1106ac61f5 CmdPal: Guard Frame.GoBack to prevent crash (#46493) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR adds a guard to the shell page that prevents navigating back
with empty nav stack (which leads to exception, an ultimately to a
crash).

> You should check that the
[CanGoBack](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-app-sdk/api/winrt/microsoft.ui.xaml.controls.frame.cangoback?view=windows-app-sdk-1.8#microsoft-ui-xaml-controls-frame-cangoback)
property is true before you call GoBack. If you call GoBack while
CanGoBack is false, an exception is thrown.

3f35b11cee CmdPal: Fix missing primary context command for late-bound items (#46131) 
This PR does fix a bug where an item that starts with a null or empty
primary command never adds that primary action to the context menu after
the extension later provides a real command.

- Creates the default primary context-menu item lazily when `Command` or
`Command.Name` becomes available after `SlowInitializeProperties()`
- Refreshes `AllCommands`, `SecondaryCommand`, and `HasMoreCommands`
notifications for late command materialization and Show Details updates.
- Adds unit tests to cover the fixed issue.

1a9fcdcd1f CmdPal: Ensure DockWindow property cleans up after itself (#46303) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR improves cleanup of DockWindow after itself (since it can be
created and destroyed multiple times during app lifetime).

- Disposes its ViewModel (which it creates).
- Unregisters itself explicitly from WeakReferenceMessenger.
- Ensures that ShellPage closes the dock window when disposed and can't
spawn more.

33497e59cc Update 'Ignore Shortcut' text to 'Ignore Conflict' for clarity (#46318) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

Updates the checkbox label in the ShortcutConflictWindow (shown in the
Settings Dashboard when a hotkey conflict is detected) from "Ignore
shortcut" to "Ignore conflict". This change clarifies that checking the
box ignores the *conflict*, not the shortcut itself.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

**File changed:**
`src/settings-ui/Settings.UI/Strings/en-us/Resources.resw`

- Updated `ShortcutConflictWindow_IgnoreShortcut.Content` from `"Ignore
shortcut"` to `"Ignore conflict"`.

The checkbox appears in the ShortcutConflictWindow header row next to
the conflicting hotkey. The previous label "Ignore shortcut" was
ambiguous — it was unclear whether it meant "ignore the conflict" (allow
the shortcut to coexist) or "ignore the shortcut" (disable it). The new
label "Ignore conflict" makes the intent unambiguous.

## Validation Steps Performed

- Manually verified the resource string change in `Resources.resw`.
- Confirmed the `x:Uid="ShortcutConflictWindow_IgnoreShortcut"` binding
in `ShortcutConflictWindow.xaml` picks up the updated `.Content` value.

e2f611a7fc CmdPal: Prevent PgUp/PgDown from selecting non-internactive items (#46439) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR prevents paging (<kbd>PgUp</kbd>/<kbd>PgDown</kbd>) in the item
list from selecting non-interactive items (such as separators or section
headers).

It adds `FindSelectableIndex` and `FindSelectableIndexForPageNavigation`
helper methods, which locate the next interactive item in the given
direction. These methods are used to guard paging navigation and to
consolidate related logic elsewhere.

This PR fixes missing _Pin to ..._ menu items on app search result.

`MainListPage` reuses `AppListItem` instances from the All Apps page,

735ea01a93 CmdPal: Fix dock popup XamlRoot handling on DockControl (#46305) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR handles situations when app can crash because a popup control is
being touched before XamlRoot is set.

- Registers message handlers in DockControl only while controls are
loaded.
- Guards the edit-mode TeachingTip until the dock is rooted.
- Sets XamlRoot for dock flyouts and tooltips before showing.

is explicitly set.
- Unregisteres messages and CenterItems_CollectionChanged when unloaded.

93f80f5f61 CmdPal: Reduce DockWindow backdrop switching and visual artifacts (#46309) 
<!-- 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 reduces "blinking" of dock when (any) CmdPal settings changes.
It handles only backdrop, not icons.

- Avoids recreating the acrylic controller when the effective backdrop
parameters have not changed.
- Reuses the transparent backdrop instead of reassigning it during dock
refreshes.
- Cleans up backdrop controllers only when switching backdrop modes or
disposing the window.
- Removes obsolete dock-specific backdrop helper logic now handled
directly in DockWindow.

21f06b8bd0 Always On Top: The opacity should be able to configure the hotkey individually (#46410) 
<!-- 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 adds support for customizing the hotkeys used to
increase and decrease the opacity of pinned windows in the Always On Top
module.
Previously, these shortcuts were hardcoded to use the same modifiers as
the main pin hotkey.

With these changes, users can now independently configure the increase
and decrease opacity shortcuts via the settings UI, and the backend has
been updated to respect and store these new settings.

Another change: If window is not Always On Topped, the opacity change
take no effect, so we should not intercept, we should pass through to
minimize the impact.

fa78cc8ea7 [OOBE] Ensure the Settings button on the SCOOBE page opens Home, not a blank page (#46203) 
## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR fixes an issue where selecting the **Settings** button on the
What's New page for a new or upgraded installation of PowerToys would
show the Settings application but with a blank contents page instead of
the Home page.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
When the current version of PowerToys doesn't match the
`last_version_run`, the What's New (SCOOBE) page is displayed. The
Settings page is loaded at the same time in a hidden state.

If the user selects the Settings button in the bottom-left of the What's
New page, `OpenSettingsItem_Tapped()` is called, which calls:

```csharp
App.OpenSettingsWindow();
```

This unhides the Settings window, but Settings has not navigated to an
initial page, resulting in a blank display.

The solution is to instead call:

```csharp
App.OpenSettingsWindow(ensurePageIsSelected: true);
```

## Validation Steps Performed

Manual tests, following the instructions given in the original issue,
i.e. setting the `last_version_run` JSON manually and retrying to
simulate the upgrade/new install.

cb9d54317a Add ItemsRepeater focus restoration on Extensions settings page (part deux) (#45903) 
<!-- 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

Fixes focus management in the Command Palette Extensions settings page.
After user moves through the extension list, when using Shift or
Shift+Tab to navigate into the extensions list, focus now properly
returns to the previously selected extension card instead of jumping to
the first item or end of the list.

This is part of the a11y bug batch.
User Impact:
Keyboard-only and assistive-technology users may lose context and
experience confusion due to unexpected focus movement, increasing
navigation effort and reducing usability of the Extensions page.

0d41d45a64 [Settings] Decouple Settings.UI.Library from PowerDisplay.Lib to fix … (#46325) 
<!-- 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
Fixes PowerToys Run crash (`FileNotFoundException` for
`PowerDisplay.Lib.dll`) caused by `Settings.UI.Library` having a
transitive dependency on `PowerDisplay.Lib`.

`SettingsSerializationContext` registered PowerDisplay profile types
(`PowerDisplayProfile`, `PowerDisplayProfiles`, `ProfileMonitorSetting`)
via `[JsonSerializable]` attributes, which forced the CLR to load
`PowerDisplay.Lib.dll` at startup. PowerToys Run depends on
`Settings.UI.Library` but does not ship `PowerDisplay.Lib.dll`, causing
the crash.

86115a54f6 CmdPal: Extract persistence services from SettingsModel and AppStateModel (#46312) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

Extracts persistence (load/save) logic from `SettingsModel` and
`AppStateModel` into dedicated service classes, following the
single-responsibility principle. Consumers now interact with
`ISettingsService` and `IAppStateService` instead of receiving raw model
objects through DI.

**New services introduced:**
- `IPersistenceService` / `PersistenceService` — generic `Load<T>` /
`Save<T>` with AOT-compatible `JsonTypeInfo<T>`, ensures target
directory exists before writing
- `ISettingsService` / `SettingsService` — loads settings on
construction, runs migrations, exposes `Settings` property and
`SettingsChanged` event
- `IAppStateService` / `AppStateService` — loads state on construction,
exposes `State` property and `StateChanged` event

**Key changes:**
- `SettingsModel` and `AppStateModel` are now pure data models — all
file I/O, migration, and directory management removed
- Raw `SettingsModel` and `AppStateModel` removed from DI container;
consumers receive the appropriate service
- `IApplicationInfoService.ConfigDirectory` injected into services for
config path resolution (no more hardcoded `Utilities.BaseSettingsPath`)
- ~30 consumer files updated across `Microsoft.CmdPal.UI.ViewModels` and
`Microsoft.CmdPal.UI` projects
- All `#pragma warning disable SA1300` suppressions removed —
convenience accessors replaced with direct `_settingsService.Settings` /
`_appStateService.State` access
- Namespace prefixes (`Services.ISettingsService`) replaced with proper
`using` directives

## PR Checklist

- [ ] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors
already.
- [x] **Tests:** Added/updated and all pass
- [ ] **Localization:** N/A — no end-user-facing strings changed
- [ ] **Dev docs:** N/A — internal refactor, no public API changes
- [ ] **New binaries:** N/A — no new binaries introduced

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

### Architecture

Services are registered as singletons in `App.xaml.cs`:
```csharp
services.AddSingleton<IPersistenceService, PersistenceService>();
services.AddSingleton<ISettingsService, SettingsService>();
services.AddSingleton<IAppStateService, AppStateService>();
```

`PersistenceService.Save<T>` writes the serialized model directly to
disk, creating the target directory if it doesn't exist. It also does
not attempt to merge existing and new settings/state. `SettingsService`
runs hotkey migrations on load and raises `SettingsChanged` after saves.
`AppStateService` always raises `StateChanged` after saves.

### Files changed (41 files, +1169/−660)

| Area | Files | What changed |
|------|-------|-------------|
| New services | `Services/IPersistenceService.cs`,
`PersistenceService.cs`, `ISettingsService.cs`, `SettingsService.cs`,
`IAppStateService.cs`, `AppStateService.cs` | New service interfaces and
implementations |
| Models | `SettingsModel.cs`, `AppStateModel.cs` | Stripped to pure
data bags |
| DI | `App.xaml.cs` | Service registration, removed raw model DI |
| ViewModels | 12 files | Constructor injection of services |
| UI | 10 files | Service injection replacing model access |
| Settings | `DockSettings.cs` | `Colors.Transparent` replaced with
struct literal to avoid WinUI3 COM dependency |
| Tests | `PersistenceServiceTests.cs`, `SettingsServiceTests.cs`,
`AppStateServiceTests.cs` | 38 unit tests covering all three services |
| Config | `.gitignore` | Added `.squad/`, `.github/agents/` exclusions
|

## Validation Steps Performed

- Built `Microsoft.CmdPal.UI` with MSBuild (x64/Debug) — exit code 0,
clean build
- Ran 38 unit tests via `vstest.console.exe` — all passing
- Verified no remaining `#pragma warning disable SA1300` blocks
- Verified no remaining `Services.` namespace prefixes

549b32e273 [Security][Hosts] Remove open method lookup and hardcode the notepad to open host editor (#46194) 
<!-- 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 is a security issue fix**

In Hosts Editor module, we support to open the hosts file through user's
default editor.
The way to find the editor is that we will read a registry key and use
the value as a parameter to call Process.Start.

In most case, it works well. But Hosts editor module will launch as
admin permission. But the registry value can be modified in user 's
permission (without UAC request).

So, the malware may change the registry value and if user click the open
button. May call the dangerous command which written in registry.

87b24afa23 Security: Fix Local privilege escalation via DLL hijack (#46145) 
<!-- 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
Attack vector:
1. user install per machine installer
2. Open an elevated command prompt and verify the newly added PowerToys
PATH entry
3. Inspect the ACL on the DSCModules directory an observe that the
"Authenticated Users" group have inherited Modify permissions
4. Log in as a low-privileged (non-admin) user and confirm that you can
create or modify files in C:\\PowerToys\\DSCModules\. This confirms that
a non-admin user can plant arbitrary DLLs in a system PATH directory.
5. The attacker identifies a DLL that a privileged process (e.g., a
system service or an application running as a different,
higher-privileged user) attempts to load via the standard DLL search
order. The attacker crafts a malicious DLL with the same name and places
it in C:\\PowerToys\\DSCModules.

The fix is to:
* Hardening the PowerToys DSC directory for per-machine custom installs
with correct ACL enforced with wix.

77173cd075 CmdPal: Stop dock window resizes from saving for normal window opens (#46118) 
Currently, if you resize a window opened from the dock (i.e. performance
monitor commands) then exit CmdPal, the resized "size" persists on
normal hotkey opens. This change tells CmdPal to revert the size when
opened and only save the size on normal window close.

Fixes #45591

0c2d24c3f6 PowerToys Extension: Use project build because we don't need packagereference (#46080) 
<!-- 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
At first version, tried to use the project reference instead of package
reference, while it did not work in my local environment, so used
package reference instead.

While planned to project reference for many reasons like first day
problem explosure in sdk, maintain the strict consistent winmd with the
extension host.

Hopefully to solve some of the extension not starting problem.

eeeb6c0c93 feat(winmd-api-search): add WinMD cache generator script and related files (#45606) 
<!-- 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

Adds a new Copilot agent skill (`winmd-api-search`) that lets AI agents
discover and explore Windows desktop APIs by searching a local cache of
WinMD metadata. The skill covers Windows Platform SDK, WinAppSDK/WinUI,
NuGet package WinMDs, and project-output WinMDs — providing full API
surface details (types, members, enumeration values, namespaces) without
needing external documentation lookups.

**Key components:**

- `.github/skills/winmd-api-search/SKILL.md` — Skill definition with
usage instructions, search/detail workflows, and scoring guidance
- `scripts/Invoke-WinMdQuery.ps1` — PowerShell query engine supporting
actions: `search`, `type`, `members`, `enums`, `namespaces`, `stats`,
`projects`
- `scripts/Update-WinMdCache.ps1` — Orchestrator that builds the C#
cache generator, discovers project files, and runs the generator
- `scripts/cache-generator/CacheGenerator.csproj` + `Program.cs` — .NET
console app using `System.Reflection.Metadata` to parse WinMD files from
NuGet packages, project references, Windows SDK, and packages.config
into per-package JSON caches
- `scripts/cache-generator/Directory.Build.props`,
`Directory.Build.targets`, `Directory.Packages.props` — Empty isolation
files to prevent repo-level Central Package Management and build targets
from interfering with this standalone tool

<!-- Please review the items on the PR checklist before submitting-->
## PR Checklist

- [ ] Closes: #xxx <!-- Replace with issue number if applicable -->
- [x] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors
already. If the work hasn't been agreed, this work might be rejected
- [ ] **Tests:** Added/updated and all pass — N/A: This is an offline
agent skill (PowerShell + standalone .NET tool) with no integration into
the main product build or runtime. Validated manually by running the
cache generator across multiple project contexts (ColorPickerUI,
CmdPal.UI, runner, ImageResizer, etc.) and exercising all query actions.
- [ ] **Localization:** All end-user-facing strings can be localized —
N/A: No end-user-facing strings; this is an internal developer/agent
tool
- [ ] **Dev docs:** Added/updated — The SKILL.md itself serves as the
documentation
- [ ] **New binaries:** Added on the required places — N/A: The cache
generator is a standalone dev-time tool, not shipped in the installer
- [ ] **Documentation updated:** If checked, please file a pull request

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

### Cache Generator (`Program.cs`, ~1000 lines)

A self-contained .NET console app that:

1. **Discovers WinMD sources** from four channels:
   - `project.assets.json` (PackageReference — modern .csproj/.vcxproj)
   - `packages.config` (legacy NuGet format)
- `<ProjectReference>` bin/ output (class libraries producing `.winmd`)
   - Windows SDK `UnionMetadata/` (highest installed version)

2. **Parses WinMD files** using `System.Reflection.Metadata` /
`PEReader` to extract:
- Types (classes, structs, interfaces, enums, delegates) with full
namespace
- Members (methods with decoded signatures/parameters, properties with
accessors, events)
   - Enum values
   - Base types and type kinds

3. **Outputs per-package JSON** under `Generated Files/winmd-cache/`:
- `packages/<Id>/<Version>/meta.json` — package summary
(type/member/namespace counts)
   - `packages/<Id>/<Version>/namespaces.json` — ordered namespace list
- `packages/<Id>/<Version>/types/<Namespace>.json` — full type detail
per namespace
- `projects/<ProjectName>.json` — maps each project to its package set

4. **Deduplicates** at the package level — if a package+version is
already cached, it's skipped on subsequent runs.

### Build Isolation

Three empty MSBuild files (`Directory.Build.props`,
`Directory.Build.targets`, `Directory.Packages.props`) in the
cache-generator folder prevent the repo's Central Package Management and
shared build configuration from interfering with this standalone tool.

### Query Engine (`Invoke-WinMdQuery.ps1`)

Supports seven actions: `search` (fuzzy text search across
types/members), `type` (full detail for a specific type), `members`
(filtered members of a type), `enums` (enumeration values), `namespaces`
(list all namespaces), `stats` (cache statistics), and `projects` (list
cached projects with their packages).

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed

1. **Cache generation:** Ran `Update-WinMdCache.ps1` across 310+ project
files in the repo — 8 packages parsed, 316 reused from cache, all
completed without errors
2. **Query testing on multiple projects:**
   - `ColorPickerUI` — verified Windows SDK baseline (7,023 types)
- `Microsoft.CmdPal.UI.ViewModels` (after restore) — verified 13
packages, 49,799 types, 112,131 members including WinAppSDK,
AdaptiveCards, CsWinRT, Win32Metadata
   - `runner` (C++ vcxproj) — verified packages.config fallback path
   - `ImageResizerExt` — verified project reference WinMD discovery
3. **All seven query actions validated:** `stats`, `search`,
`namespaces`, `type`, `enums`, `members`, `projects` — all returned
correct results
4. **Spell-check compliance:** SKILL.md vocabulary reviewed against
repo's check-spelling dictionaries; replaced flagged words with standard
alternatives
