## 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

ff194c0b5f [Cmdpal] Screen reader announces "Enter Alias" instead of "Alias" in ExtensionPage (#45906)
<!-- 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 a screen reader accessibility issue where the Alias TextBox in the
ExtensionPage settings was announcing "Enter Alias" as its accessible
name instead of just "Alias", making it confusing for users relying on
assistive technology.

This is part of the a11y bug batch.
User Impact:
Duplicate announcements can confuse users, increase cognitive load, and
slow down interaction for users relying on assistive technologies.

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

## 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

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.

labels in vertical dock modes.
- Adds an icon to clock dock wrapper, so it appears in settings.
- Stretches buttons with icon and labels in the vertical docks to the
full width.
- Fixes `IconInfoViewModel.IconForTheme` method implementation.

75fb296bb2 Fix: Fix a issue that change always on top settings won't take effect immediately (#45994)
<!-- 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
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.
