## Summary of the Pull Request
The ExprTk result was previously parsed with CurrentCulture, which means
that calculator was broken on every device which's culture info differed
from what ExprTk returns.
It would probably be better to just obtain the result as a double
directly, but that can wait.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
ExprTk, the math library that CmdPal's Calculator uses, returns the
result as a string formatted in `en-US`, therefore we need to also parse
it as `en-US`.
## Validation Steps Performed
Small and large numbers work correctly with all decimal separators

## Summary of the Pull Request
### Root cause:
`FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(Assembly.Location)` is not compatible
with NativeAOT
### Fix:
Replaced the usage of FileVersionInfo with static reflection
`GetCustomAttribute<AssemblyFileVersionAttribute>()?.Version`. This uses
static reflection to read version metadata directly from the assembly,
which is fully supported in NativeAOT. It does not require file system
access and is trimming/AOT-safe.

## Summary of the Pull Request
A memory leak was identified where activating a Command Palette
extension via a hotkey would lead to a linear increase in resource
consumption and a corresponding decrease in search performance.
Each activation created a new `PageViewModel` instance for the
extension's UI. However, the `ShellViewModel` did not dispose of the
previous `PageViewModel` instance when a new one was created.
The fix is implemented in
`Microsoft.CmdPal.UI.ViewModels/ShellViewModel.cs` by ensuring that
`PageViewModel` instances are correctly disposed of when they are no
longer active.

## Validation Steps Performed
1. Installed [Workspace Launcher for Visual Studio /
Code](https://github.com/tanchekwei/WorkspaceLauncherForVSCode)
2. Configured a global hotkey for the extension (e.g., Alt + Q).
3. Ran the following AHK script. Pressing F1 simulates pressing the
hotkey 10 times with a 200ms interval, followed by typing p to trigger a
search and observe how many times `GetItems` is invoked.
```ahk
#NoEnv
SetBatchLines, -1
; Press F1 to run the sequence
F1::
Loop, 10
{
Send, !q
Sleep, 200
}
Send, p
return
```
### Before the Fix (PowerToys v0.91.1)
- Pressing the hotkey 10 times then search will triggered `GetItems` 12
times.
- See video and log output below:

## Problem
The "Reload" command in the Command Palette was only showing up when
searching with a lowercase 'r' (e.g., "reload") but not with an
uppercase 'R' (e.g., "Reload"). This was inconsistent with the
documentation which references a "Reload" command.
## Solution
Fixed the case-sensitivity issue in `FallbackReloadItem.UpdateQuery()`
by changing the string comparison from case-sensitive to
case-insensitive:
```csharp
// Before
_reloadCommand.Name = query.StartsWith('r') ? "Reload" : string.Empty;
// After
_reloadCommand.Name = query.StartsWith("r", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) ? "Reload" : string.Empty;
```
This change makes the Reload command visible when typing either "reload"
or "Reload" in the Command Palette, improving the user experience for
extension developers.
Fixes#39769.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR addresses an issue where ActionRuntime initialization may
repeatedly incur delays and fail during runtime usage, especially when
the OS supports the API but action creation fails.
### Fix:
Introduced ActionRuntimeManager to:
- Manage a shared static ActionRuntime instance
- Perform initialization once, at extension loading time
- Store the result (success or failure) to avoid repeated creation
attempts
Consumers now:
- ActionRuntimeManager.InstanceAsync.GetAwaiter().GetResult()
Initialization will only be attempted up to 3 times. After that, runtime
is marked as unavailable and no further attempts are made.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR addresses an issue where direct double output from exprtk
evaluation led to precision artifacts (e.g., 12.2 + 10 resulting in
22.199999999999999). This behavior is due to how double represents
decimal fractions in binary.
- To improve user-facing precision, the result is now:
- Converted to decimal for higher decimal accuracy.
- Rounded to fit within 15 total significant digits (integer +
fraction).
- Formatted using "G29" to eliminate unnecessary trailing zeros.
- Cleaned up to remove dangling decimal points.
This ensures more intuitive and readable output like:
- 1.9999999999 → "1.9999999999"
- 100000.9999999999 → "100001"
- 100000.999999999 → "100000.999999999"
This change improves clarity, especially for users entering expressions
expecting decimal-accurate results.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This change addresses a significant performance regression caused by
improper handling of null-terminated strings returned from the
SHLoadIndirectString API.
Previously, the output buffer was converted to string using
Span<char>.ToString() without trimming at the null terminator (\0). As a
result, the entire buffer (1024 characters) was converted, including
trailing garbage data after the valid string.
This caused the fuzzy matching logic to process unnecessarily long
strings, leading to excessive CPU usage and input lag (~2 seconds delay
per keystroke).
The fix properly locates the first null terminator in the buffer and
slices the span before converting to string, eliminating trailing
garbage characters. This reduces the workload in the scoring function
and resolves the input lag in the apps extension search.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Root Cause:
After the CsWin32 upgrade, the code switched from using manually
allocated unmanaged buffers (Marshal.AllocHGlobal) to using Span<char>
via outBuffer.AsSpan(). However, the Span length passed to
SHLoadIndirectString was not correctly calculated.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Telemetry.write will serialize all of the whole object graph. So we need
to ensure it will not be trimmed.
This is a safe PR because it doesn't apply any logic change. If you
disable the AOT feature, this PR won't take any effect.

## Summary of the Pull Request
### 1. Make AdaptiveCards WinUI3 AOT Compatible
The AdaptiveCards.WinUI3 NuGet packages ship with precompiled WinRT
projections (RendererCsProjection.dll, etc.), which are not
trim/AOT-safe. These projections internally use APIs like
ComWrappersSupport.GetObjectReferenceForInterface, which break under
PublishAot.
To resolve this:
- We exclude their compile assets to avoid using the shipped C#
projections.
- Use the .winmd metadata files with CsWinRT to regenerate our own
AOT-compatible projections.
- Manually copy the required native .dlls from the NuGet package.
### 2. Ensure AOT-Compatible Transitive Dependency
The AdaptiveCards.Templating package depends on
Microsoft.Bot.AdaptiveExpressions.Core, but doesn’t pin an AOT-safe
version. We explicitly version Microsoft.Bot.AdaptiveExpressions.Core to
4.23.0 to ensure compatibility with NativeAOT.
