Fix ObtainInstaller offline regression, add missing test includes

- Move readyToInstall and upToDate state checks before the GitHub API
  call so already-downloaded installers can proceed when GitHub is
  unreachable
- Add missing <algorithm>, <iterator>, <vector> includes in
  UpdatingTests.cpp to avoid transitive-include breakage

Use when building features that need platform capabilities — camera, file access, notifications, UI controls, AI/ML, sensors, networking, etc. Discovers the right API for a task and retrieves full type details (methods, properties, events, enumeration values).'
+license: Complete terms in LICENSE.txt

+
+# WinMD API Search
+
+This skill helps you find the right Windows API for any capability and get its full details. It searches a local cache of all WinMD metadata from:
+
+- **Windows Platform SDK** — all `Windows.*` WinRT APIs (always available, no restore needed)
+- **WinAppSDK / WinUI** — bundled as a baseline in the cache generator (always available, no restore needed)
+- **NuGet packages** — any additional packages in restored projects that contain `.winmd` files
+- **Project-output WinMD** — class libraries (C++/WinRT, C#) that produce `.winmd` as build output
+
+Even on a fresh clone with no restore or build, you still get full Platform SDK + WinAppSDK coverage.
+
+## When to Use This Skill
+
+- User wants to build a feature and you need to find which API provides that capability
+- User asks "how do I do X?" where X involves a platform feature (camera, files, notifications, sensors, AI, etc.)
+- You need the exact methods, properties, events, or enumeration values of a type before writing code
+- You're unsure which control, class, or interface to use for a UI or system task
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **.NET SDK 8.0 or later** — required to build the cache generator. Install from [dotnet.microsoft.com](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download) if not available.
+
+## Cache Setup (Required Before First Use)
+
+All query and search commands read from a local JSON cache. **You must generate the cache before running any queries.**
+
+```powershell
+# All projects in the repo (recommended for first run)
+.\.github\skills\winmd-api-search\scripts\Update-WinMdCache.ps1
+
+# Single project
+.\.github\skills\winmd-api-search\scripts\Update-WinMdCache.ps1 -ProjectDir <project-folder>
+```
+
+No project restore or build is needed for baseline coverage (Platform SDK + WinAppSDK). For additional NuGet packages, the project needs `dotnet restore` (which generates `project.assets.json`) or a `packages.config` file.
+
+Cache is stored at `Generated Files\winmd-cache\`, deduplicated per-package+version.
+
+### What gets indexed
+
+| Source | When available |
+|--------|----------------|
+| Windows Platform SDK | Always (reads from local SDK install) |
+| WinAppSDK (latest) | Always (bundled as baseline in cache generator) |
+| WinAppSDK Runtime | When installed on the system (detected via `Get-AppxPackage`) |
+| Project NuGet packages | After `dotnet restore` or with `packages.config` |
+| Project-output `.winmd` | After project build (class libraries that produce WinMD) |
+
+> **Note:** This cache directory should be in `.gitignore` — it's generated, not source.
+
+## How to Use
+
+Pick the path that matches the situation:
+
+---
+
+### Discover — "I don't know which API to use"
+
+The user describes a capability in their own words. You need to find the right API.
+
+**0. Ensure the cache exists**
+
+If the cache hasn't been generated yet, run `Update-WinMdCache.ps1` first — see [Cache Setup](#cache-setup-required-before-first-use) above.
+
+**1. Translate user language → search keywords**
+
+Map the user's daily language to programming terms. Try multiple variations:
+
+| User says | Search keywords to try (in order) |
+|-----------|-----------------------------------|
+| "take a picture" | `camera`, `capture`, `photo`, `MediaCapture` |
+| "load from disk" | `file open`, `picker`, `FileOpen`, `StorageFile` |
+| "describe what's in it" | `image description`, `Vision`, `Recognition` |
+| "show a popup" | `dialog`, `flyout`, `popup`, `ContentDialog` |
+| "drag and drop" | `drag`, `drop`, `DragDrop` |
+| "save settings" | `settings`, `ApplicationData`, `LocalSettings` |
+
+Start with simple everyday words. If results are weak or irrelevant, try the more technical variation.
+
+**2. Run searches**
+
+```powershell
+.\.github\skills\winmd-api-search\scripts\Invoke-WinMdQuery.ps1 -Action search -Query "<keyword>"
+```
+
+This returns ranked namespaces with top matching types and the **JSON file path**.
+
+If results have **low scores (below 60) or are irrelevant**, fall back to searching online documentation:
+
+1. Use web search to find the right API on Microsoft Learn, for example:
+   - `site:learn.microsoft.com/uwp/api <capability keywords>` for `Windows.*` APIs
+   - `site:learn.microsoft.com/windows/windows-app-sdk/api/winrt <capability keywords>` for `Microsoft.*` WinAppSDK APIs
+2. Read the documentation pages to identify which type matches the user's requirement.
+3. Once you know the type name, come back and use `-Action members` or `-Action enums` to get the exact local signatures.
+
+**3. Read the JSON to choose the right API**
+
+Read the file at the path(s) from the top results. The JSON has all types in that namespace — full members, signatures, parameters, return types, enumeration values.
+
+Read and decide which types and members fit the user's requirement.
+
+**4. Look up official documentation for context**
+
+The cache contains only signatures — no descriptions or usage guidance. For explanations, examples, and remarks, look up the type on Microsoft Learn:
+
+| Namespace prefix | Documentation base URL |
+|-----------------|----------------------|
+| `Windows.*` | `https://learn.microsoft.com/uwp/api/{fully.qualified.typename}` |
+| `Microsoft.*` (WinAppSDK) | `https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/windows-app-sdk/api/winrt/{fully.qualified.typename}` |
+
+For example, `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.NavigationView` maps to:
+`https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/windows-app-sdk/api/winrt/microsoft.ui.xaml.controls.navigationview`
+
+**5. Use the API knowledge to answer or write code**
+
+---
+
+### Lookup — "I know the API, show me the details"
+
+You already know (or suspect) the type or namespace name. Go direct:
+
+```powershell
+# Get all members of a known type
+.\.github\skills\winmd-api-search\scripts\Invoke-WinMdQuery.ps1 -Action members -TypeName "Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.NavigationView"
+
+# Get enum values
+.\.github\skills\winmd-api-search\scripts\Invoke-WinMdQuery.ps1 -Action enums -TypeName "Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Visibility"
+
+# List all types in a namespace
+.\.github\skills\winmd-api-search\scripts\Invoke-WinMdQuery.ps1 -Action types -Namespace "Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls"
+
+# Browse namespaces
+.\.github\skills\winmd-api-search\scripts\Invoke-WinMdQuery.ps1 -Action namespaces -Filter "Microsoft.UI"
+```
+
+If you need full detail beyond what `-Action members` shows, use `-Action search` to get the JSON file path, then read the JSON file directly.
+
+---
+
+### Other Commands
+
+```powershell
+# List cached projects
+.\.github\skills\winmd-api-search\scripts\Invoke-WinMdQuery.ps1 -Action projects
+
+# List packages for a project
+.\.github\skills\winmd-api-search\scripts\Invoke-WinMdQuery.ps1 -Action packages
+
+# Show stats
+.\.github\skills\winmd-api-search\scripts\Invoke-WinMdQuery.ps1 -Action stats
+```
+
+> If only one project is cached, `-Project` is auto-selected.
+> If multiple projects exist, add `-Project <name>` (use `-Action projects` to see available names).
+> In scan mode, manifest names include a short hash suffix to avoid collisions; you can pass the base project name without the suffix if it's unambiguous.
+
+## Search Scoring
+
+The search ranks type names and member names against your query:
+
+| Score | Match type | Example |
+|-------|-----------|---------|
+| 100 | Exact name | `Button` → `Button` |
+| 80 | Starts with | `Navigation` → `NavigationView` |
+| 60 | Contains | `Dialog` → `ContentDialog` |
+| 50 | PascalCase initials | `ASB` → `AutoSuggestBox` |
+| 40 | Multi-keyword AND | `navigation item` → `NavigationViewItem` |
+| 20 | Fuzzy character match | `NavVw` → `NavigationView` |
+
+Results are grouped by namespace. Higher-scored namespaces appear first.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Issue | Fix |
+|-------|-----|
+| "Cache not found" | Run `Update-WinMdCache.ps1` |
+| "Multiple projects cached" | Add `-Project <name>` |
+| "Namespace not found" | Use `-Action namespaces` to list available ones |
+| "Type not found" | Use fully qualified name (e.g., `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.Button`) |
+| Stale after NuGet update | Re-run `Update-WinMdCache.ps1` |
+| Cache in git history | Add `Generated Files/` to `.gitignore` |

+<#
+.SYNOPSIS
+    Query WinMD API metadata from cached JSON files.
+
+.DESCRIPTION
+    Reads pre-built JSON cache of WinMD types, members, and namespaces.
+    The cache is organized per-package (deduplicated) with project manifests
+    that map each project to its referenced packages.
+
+    Supports listing namespaces, types, members, searching, enum value lookup,
+    and listing cached projects/packages.
+
+.PARAMETER Action
+    The query action to perform:
+    - projects    : List cached projects
+    - packages    : List packages for a project
+    - stats       : Show aggregate statistics for a project
+    - namespaces  : List all namespaces (optional -Filter prefix)
+    - types       : List types in a namespace (-Namespace required)
+    - members     : List members of a type (-TypeName required)
+    - search      : Search types and members by name (-Query required)
+    - enums       : List enum values (-TypeName required)
+
+.PARAMETER Project
+    Project name to query. Auto-selected if only one project is cached.
+    Use -Action projects to list available projects.
+
+.PARAMETER Namespace
+    Namespace to query types from (used with -Action types).
+
+.PARAMETER TypeName
+    Full type name e.g. "Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.Button" (used with -Action members, enums).
+
+.PARAMETER Query
+    Search query string (used with -Action search).
+
+.PARAMETER Filter
+    Optional prefix filter for namespaces (used with -Action namespaces).
+
+.PARAMETER CacheDir
+    Path to the winmd-cache directory. Defaults to "Generated Files\winmd-cache"
+    relative to the workspace root.
+
+.PARAMETER MaxResults
+    Maximum number of results to return for search. Defaults to 30.
+
+.EXAMPLE
+    .\Invoke-WinMdQuery.ps1 -Action projects
+    .\Invoke-WinMdQuery.ps1 -Action packages -Project BlankWinUI
+    .\Invoke-WinMdQuery.ps1 -Action stats -Project BlankWinUI
+    .\Invoke-WinMdQuery.ps1 -Action namespaces -Filter "Microsoft.UI"

+.SYNOPSIS
+    Generate or refresh the WinMD cache for the Agent Skill.
+
+.DESCRIPTION
+    Builds and runs the standalone cache generator to export cached JSON files
+    from all WinMD metadata found in project NuGet packages and Windows SDK.
+
+    The cache is per-package+version: if two projects reference the same
+    package at the same version, the WinMD data is parsed once and shared.
+
+    Supports single project or recursive scan of an entire repo.
+
+.PARAMETER ProjectDir
+    Path to a project directory (contains .csproj/.vcxproj), or a project file itself.
+    Defaults to scanning the workspace root.
+
+.PARAMETER Scan
+    Recursively discover all .csproj/.vcxproj files under ProjectDir.
+
+.PARAMETER OutputDir
+    Path to the cache output directory. Defaults to "Generated Files\winmd-cache".

+# WPF to WinUI 3 Migration Skill
+
+Migrate PowerToys modules from WPF (`System.Windows.*`) to WinUI 3 (`Microsoft.UI.Xaml.*` / Windows App SDK). Based on patterns validated in the ImageResizer module migration.
+
+## When to Use This Skill
+
+- Migrate a PowerToys module from WPF to WinUI 3
+- Convert WPF XAML files to WinUI 3 XAML
+- Replace `System.Windows` namespaces with `Microsoft.UI.Xaml`
+- Migrate `Dispatcher` usage to `DispatcherQueue`
+- Migrate custom `Observable`/`RelayCommand` to CommunityToolkit.Mvvm source generators
+- Replace WPF-UI (Lepo) controls with native WinUI 3 controls
+- Convert imaging code from `System.Windows.Media.Imaging` to `Windows.Graphics.Imaging`
+- Handle WPF `Window` vs WinUI `Window` differences (sizing, positioning, SizeToContent)
+- Migrate resource files from `.resx` to `.resw` with `ResourceLoader`
+- Fix installer/build pipeline issues after WinUI 3 migration
+- Update project files, NuGet packages, and signing config
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Visual Studio 2022 17.4+
+- Windows App SDK NuGet package (`Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK`)
+- .NET 8+ with `net8.0-windows10.0.19041.0` TFM
+- Windows 10 1803+ (April 2018 Update or newer)
+
+## Migration Strategy
+
+### Recommended Order
+
+1. **Project file** — Update TFM, NuGet packages, set `<UseWinUI>true</UseWinUI>`
+2. **Data models and business logic** — No UI dependencies, migrate first
+3. **MVVM framework** — Replace custom Observable/RelayCommand with CommunityToolkit.Mvvm
+4. **Resource strings** — Migrate `.resx` → `.resw`, introduce `ResourceLoaderInstance`
+5. **Services and utilities** — Replace `System.Windows` types, async-ify imaging code
+6. **ViewModels** — Update Dispatcher usage, binding patterns
+7. **Views/Pages** — Starting from leaf pages with fewest dependencies
+8. **Main page / shell** — Last, since it depends on everything
+9. **App.xaml / startup code** — Merge carefully (do NOT overwrite WinUI 3 boilerplate)
+10. **Installer & build pipeline** — Update WiX, signing, build events
+11. **Tests** — Adapt for WinUI 3 runtime, async patterns
+
+### Key Principles
+
+- **Do NOT overwrite `App.xaml` / `App.xaml.cs`** — WinUI 3 has different application lifecycle boilerplate. Merge your resources and initialization code into the generated WinUI 3 App class.
+- **Do NOT create Exe→WinExe `ProjectReference`** — Extract shared code to a Library project. This causes phantom build artifacts.
+- **Use `Lazy<T>` for resource-dependent statics** — `ResourceLoader` is not available at class-load time in all contexts.
+
+## Quick Reference Tables
+
+### Namespace Mapping
+
+| WPF | WinUI 3 |
+|-----|---------|
+| `System.Windows` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml` |
+| `System.Windows.Controls` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls` |
+| `System.Windows.Media` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Media` |
+| `System.Windows.Media.Imaging` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Media.Imaging` (UI) / `Windows.Graphics.Imaging` (processing) |
+| `System.Windows.Input` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Input` |
+| `System.Windows.Data` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Data` |
+| `System.Windows.Threading` | `Microsoft.UI.Dispatching` |
+| `System.Windows.Interop` | `WinRT.Interop` |
+
+### Critical API Replacements
+
+| WPF | WinUI 3 | Notes |
+|-----|---------|-------|
+| `Dispatcher.Invoke()` | `DispatcherQueue.TryEnqueue()` | Different return type (`bool`) |
+| `Dispatcher.CheckAccess()` | `DispatcherQueue.HasThreadAccess` | Property vs method |
+| `Application.Current.Dispatcher` | Store `DispatcherQueue` in static field | See [Threading](./references/threading-and-windowing.md) |
+| `MessageBox.Show()` | `ContentDialog` | Must set `XamlRoot` |
+| `DynamicResource` | `ThemeResource` | Theme-reactive only |
+| `clr-namespace:` | `using:` | XAML namespace prefix |
+| `{x:Static props:Resources.Key}` | `x:Uid` or `ResourceLoader.GetString()` | .resx → .resw |
+| `DataType="{x:Type m:Foo}"` | Remove or use code-behind | `x:Type` not supported |
+| `Properties.Resources.MyString` | `ResourceLoaderInstance.ResourceLoader.GetString("MyString")` | Lazy-init pattern |
+| `Application.Current.MainWindow` | Custom `App.Window` static property | Must track manually |
+| `SizeToContent="Height"` | Custom `SizeToContent()` via `AppWindow.Resize()` | See [Windowing](./references/threading-and-windowing.md) |
+| `MouseLeftButtonDown` | `PointerPressed` | Mouse → Pointer events |
+| `Pack URI (pack://...)` | `ms-appx:///` | Resource URI scheme |
+| `Observable` (custom base) | `ObservableObject` + `[ObservableProperty]` | CommunityToolkit.Mvvm |
+| `RelayCommand` (custom) | `[RelayCommand]` source generator | CommunityToolkit.Mvvm |
+| `JpegBitmapEncoder` | `BitmapEncoder.CreateAsync(JpegEncoderId, stream)` | Async, unified API |
+| `encoder.QualityLevel = 85` | `BitmapPropertySet { "ImageQuality", 0.85f }` | int 1-100 → float 0-1 |
+
+### NuGet Package Migration
+
+| WPF | WinUI 3 |
+|-----|---------|
+| `Microsoft.Xaml.Behaviors.Wpf` | `Microsoft.Xaml.Behaviors.WinUI.Managed` |
+| `WPF-UI` (Lepo) | Remove — use native WinUI 3 controls |
+| `CommunityToolkit.Mvvm` | `CommunityToolkit.Mvvm` (same) |
+| `Microsoft.Toolkit.Wpf.*` | `CommunityToolkit.WinUI.*` |
+| (none) | `Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK` |
+| (none) | `Microsoft.Windows.SDK.BuildTools` |
+| (none) | `WinUIEx` (optional, for window helpers) |
+| (none) | `CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Converters` |
+
+### XAML Syntax Changes
+
+| WPF | WinUI 3 |
+|-----|---------|
+| `xmlns:local="clr-namespace:MyApp"` | `xmlns:local="using:MyApp"` |
+| `{DynamicResource Key}` | `{ThemeResource Key}` |
+| `{x:Static Type.Member}` | `{x:Bind}` or code-behind |
+| `{x:Type local:MyType}` | Not supported |
+| `<Style.Triggers>` / `<DataTrigger>` | `VisualStateManager` |
+| `{Binding}` in `Setter.Value` | Not supported — use `StaticResource` |
+| `Content="{x:Static p:Resources.Cancel}"` | `x:Uid="Cancel"` with `.Content` in `.resw` |
+| `<ui:FluentWindow>` / `<ui:Button>` (WPF-UI) | Native `<Window>` / `<Button>` |
+| `<ui:NumberBox>` / `<ui:ProgressRing>` (WPF-UI) | Native `<NumberBox>` / `<ProgressRing>` |
+| `BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type ui:Button}}"` | `BasedOn="{StaticResource DefaultButtonStyle}"` |
+| `IsDefault="True"` / `IsCancel="True"` | `Style="{StaticResource AccentButtonStyle}"` / handle via KeyDown |
+| `<AccessText>` | Not available — use `AccessKey` property |
+| `<behaviors:Interaction.Triggers>` | Migrate to code-behind or WinUI behaviors |

+## Common Pitfalls (from ImageResizer migration)
+
+| Pitfall | Solution |
+|---------|----------|
+| `ContentDialog` throws "does not have a XamlRoot" | Set `dialog.XamlRoot = this.Content.XamlRoot` before `ShowAsync()` |
+| `FilePicker` throws error in desktop app | Call `WinRT.Interop.InitializeWithWindow.Initialize(picker, hwnd)` |
+| `Window.Dispatcher` returns null | Use `Window.DispatcherQueue` instead |
+| Resources on `Window` element not found | Move resources to root layout container (`Grid.Resources`) |
+| `VisualStateManager` on `Window` fails | Use `UserControl` or `Page` inside the Window |
+| Satellite assembly installer errors (`WIX0103`) | Remove `.resources.dll` refs from `Resources.wxs`; WinUI 3 uses `.pri` |
+| Phantom `.exe`/`.deps.json` in root output dir | Avoid Exe→WinExe `ProjectReference`; use Library project |
+| `ResourceLoader` crash at static init | Wrap in `Lazy<T>` or null-coalescing property — see [Lazy Init](./references/powertoys-patterns.md#lazy-initialization-for-resource-dependent-statics) |
+| `SizeToContent` not available | Implement manual content measurement + `AppWindow.Resize()` with DPI scaling |
+| `x:Bind` default mode is `OneTime` | Explicitly set `Mode=OneWay` or `Mode=TwoWay` |
+| `DynamicResource` / `x:Static` not compiling | Replace with `ThemeResource` / `ResourceLoader` or `x:Uid` |
+| `IValueConverter.Convert` signature mismatch | Last param: `CultureInfo` → `string` (language tag) |
+| Test project can't resolve WPF types | Add `<UseWPF>true</UseWPF>` temporarily; remove after imaging migration |
+| Pixel dimension type mismatch (`int` vs `uint`) | WinRT uses `uint` for pixel sizes — add `u` suffix in test assertions |
+| `$(SolutionDir)` empty in standalone project build | Use `$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)` with relative paths instead |
+| JPEG quality value wrong after migration | WPF: int 1-100; WinRT: float 0.0-1.0 |

+| `DataContext` not working on Window | WinUI 3 `Window` is not a `DependencyObject`; use a root `Page` or `UserControl` |
+| XAML designer not available | WinUI 3 does not support XAML Designer; use Hot Reload instead |
+| NuGet restore failures | Run `build-essentials.cmd` after adding `Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK` package |

+# Imaging API Migration
+
+Migrating from WPF (`System.Windows.Media.Imaging` / `PresentationCore.dll`) to WinRT (`Windows.Graphics.Imaging`). Based on the ImageResizer migration.
+
+## Why This Migration Is Required
+
+WinUI 3 apps deployed as self-contained do NOT include `PresentationCore.dll`. Any code using `System.Windows.Media.Imaging` will throw `FileNotFoundException` at runtime. ALL imaging code must use WinRT APIs.
+
+| Purpose | Namespace |
+|---------|-----------|
+| UI display (`Image.Source`) | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Media.Imaging` |
+| Image processing (encode/decode/transform) | `Windows.Graphics.Imaging` |
+
+## Architecture Change: Pipeline vs Declarative
+
+The fundamental architecture differs:
+
+**WPF**: In-memory pipeline of bitmap objects. Decode → transform → encode synchronously.
+```csharp
+var decoder = BitmapDecoder.Create(stream, ...);
+var transform = new TransformedBitmap(decoder.Frames[0], new ScaleTransform(...));
+var encoder = new JpegBitmapEncoder();
+encoder.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(transform, ...));
+encoder.Save(outputStream);
+```
+
+**WinRT**: Declarative transform model. Configure transforms on the encoder, which handles pixel manipulation internally. All async.
+```csharp
+var decoder = await BitmapDecoder.CreateAsync(winrtStream);
+var encoder = await BitmapEncoder.CreateForTranscodingAsync(outputStream, decoder);
+encoder.BitmapTransform.ScaledWidth = newWidth;
+encoder.BitmapTransform.ScaledHeight = newHeight;
+encoder.BitmapTransform.InterpolationMode = BitmapInterpolationMode.Fant;
+await encoder.FlushAsync();
+```
+
+## Core Type Mapping
+
+### Decoders
+
+| WPF | WinRT | Notes |
+|-----|-------|-------|
+| `BitmapDecoder.Create(stream, options, cache)` | `BitmapDecoder.CreateAsync(stream)` | Async, auto-detects format |
+| `JpegBitmapDecoder` / `PngBitmapDecoder` / etc. | `BitmapDecoder.CreateAsync(stream)` | Single unified decoder |
+| `decoder.Frames[0]` | `await decoder.GetFrameAsync(0)` | Async frame access |
+| `decoder.Frames.Count` | `decoder.FrameCount` (uint) | `int` → `uint` |
+| `decoder.CodecInfo.ContainerFormat` | `decoder.DecoderInformation.CodecId` | Different property path |
+| `decoder.Frames[0].PixelWidth` (int) | `decoder.PixelWidth` (uint) | `int` → `uint` |
+| `WmpBitmapDecoder` | Not available | WMP/HDP not supported |
+
+### Encoders
+
+| WPF | WinRT | Notes |
+|-----|-------|-------|
+| `new JpegBitmapEncoder()` | `BitmapEncoder.CreateAsync(BitmapEncoder.JpegEncoderId, stream)` | Async factory |
+| `new PngBitmapEncoder()` | `BitmapEncoder.CreateAsync(BitmapEncoder.PngEncoderId, stream)` | No interlace control |
+| `encoder.Frames.Add(frame)` | `encoder.SetSoftwareBitmap(bitmap)` | Different API |
+| `encoder.Save(stream)` | `await encoder.FlushAsync()` | Async |
+
+### Encoder Properties (Strongly-Typed → BitmapPropertySet)
+
+WPF had type-specific encoder subclasses. WinRT uses a generic property set:
+
+```csharp
+// WPF
+case JpegBitmapEncoder jpeg: jpeg.QualityLevel = 85;        // int 1-100
+case PngBitmapEncoder png:   png.Interlace = PngInterlaceOption.On;
+case TiffBitmapEncoder tiff: tiff.Compression = TiffCompressOption.Lzw;
+
+// WinRT — JPEG quality (float 0.0-1.0)
+await encoder.BitmapProperties.SetPropertiesAsync(new BitmapPropertySet
+{
+    { "ImageQuality", new BitmapTypedValue(0.85f, PropertyType.Single) }
+});
+
+// WinRT — TIFF compression (via BitmapPropertySet at creation time)
+var props = new BitmapPropertySet
+{
+    { "TiffCompressionMethod", new BitmapTypedValue((byte)2, PropertyType.UInt8) }
+};
+var encoder = await BitmapEncoder.CreateAsync(BitmapEncoder.TiffEncoderId, stream, props);
+```
+
+**JPEG quality scale change**: WPF int `1-100` → WinRT float `0.0-1.0`. Divide by 100.
+
+### Bitmap Types
+
+| WPF | WinRT | Notes |
+|-----|-------|-------|
+| `BitmapSource` | `SoftwareBitmap` | Central pixel-data type |
+| `BitmapImage` | `BitmapImage` (in `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Media.Imaging`) | UI display only |
+| `FormatConvertedBitmap` | `SoftwareBitmap.Convert()` | |
+| `TransformedBitmap` + `ScaleTransform` | `BitmapTransform` via encoder | Declarative |
+| `CroppedBitmap` | `BitmapTransform.Bounds` | |
+
+### Metadata
+
+| WPF | WinRT | Notes |
+|-----|-------|-------|
+| `BitmapMetadata` | `BitmapProperties` | Different API surface |
+| `BitmapMetadata.Clone()` | No equivalent | Cannot selectively clone |
+| Selective metadata removal | Not supported | All-or-nothing only |
+
+**Two encoder creation strategies for metadata:**
+- `CreateForTranscodingAsync()` — preserves ALL metadata from source
+- `CreateAsync()` — creates fresh encoder with NO metadata
+
+This eliminated ~258 lines of manual metadata manipulation code (`BitmapMetadataExtension.cs`) in ImageResizer.
+
+### Interpolation Modes
+
+| WPF `BitmapScalingMode` | WinRT `BitmapInterpolationMode` |
+|------------------------|-------------------------------|
+| `HighQuality` / `Fant` | `Fant` |
+| `Linear` | `Linear` |
+| `NearestNeighbor` | `NearestNeighbor` |
+| `Unspecified` / `LowQuality` | `Linear` |
+
+## Stream Interop
+
+WinRT imaging requires `IRandomAccessStream` instead of `System.IO.Stream`:
+
+```csharp
+using var stream = File.OpenRead(path);
+var winrtStream = stream.AsRandomAccessStream();  // Extension method
+var decoder = await BitmapDecoder.CreateAsync(winrtStream);
+```
+
+**Critical**: For transcode, seek the input stream back to 0 before creating the encoder:
+```csharp
+winrtStream.Seek(0);
+var encoder = await BitmapEncoder.CreateForTranscodingAsync(outputStream, decoder);
+```
+
+## CodecHelper Pattern (from ImageResizer)
+
+WPF stored container format GUIDs in `settings.json`. WinRT uses different codec IDs. Create a `CodecHelper` to bridge them:
+
+```csharp
+internal static class CodecHelper
+{
+    // Maps WPF container format GUIDs (stored in settings JSON) to WinRT encoder IDs
+    private static readonly Dictionary<Guid, Guid> LegacyGuidToEncoderId = new()
+    {
+        [new Guid("19e4a5aa-5662-4fc5-a0c0-1758028e1057")] = BitmapEncoder.JpegEncoderId,
+        [new Guid("1b7cfaf4-713f-473c-bbcd-6137425faeaf")] = BitmapEncoder.PngEncoderId,
+        [new Guid("0af1d87e-fcfe-4188-bdeb-a7906471cbe3")] = BitmapEncoder.BmpEncoderId,
+        [new Guid("163bcc30-e2e9-4f0b-961d-a3e9fdb788a3")] = BitmapEncoder.TiffEncoderId,
+        [new Guid("1f8a5601-7d4d-4cbd-9c82-1bc8d4eeb9a5")] = BitmapEncoder.GifEncoderId,
+    };
+
+    // Maps decoder IDs to corresponding encoder IDs
+    private static readonly Dictionary<Guid, Guid> DecoderIdToEncoderId = new()
+    {
+        [BitmapDecoder.JpegDecoderId] = BitmapEncoder.JpegEncoderId,
+        [BitmapDecoder.PngDecoderId] = BitmapEncoder.PngEncoderId,
+        // ...
+    };
+
+    public static Guid GetEncoderIdFromLegacyGuid(Guid legacyGuid)
+        => LegacyGuidToEncoderId.GetValueOrDefault(legacyGuid, Guid.Empty);
+
+    public static Guid GetEncoderIdForDecoder(BitmapDecoder decoder)
+        => DecoderIdToEncoderId.GetValueOrDefault(decoder.DecoderInformation.CodecId, Guid.Empty);
+}
+```
+
+This preserves backward compatibility with existing `settings.json` files that contain WPF-era GUIDs.
+
+## ImagingEnums Pattern (from ImageResizer)
+
+WPF-specific enums (`PngInterlaceOption`, `TiffCompressOption`) from `System.Windows.Media.Imaging` are used in settings JSON. Create custom enums with identical integer values for backward-compatible deserialization:
+
+```csharp
+// Replace System.Windows.Media.Imaging.PngInterlaceOption
+public enum PngInterlaceOption { Default = 0, On = 1, Off = 2 }
+
+// Replace System.Windows.Media.Imaging.TiffCompressOption
+public enum TiffCompressOption { Default = 0, None = 1, Ccitt3 = 2, Ccitt4 = 3, Lzw = 4, Rle = 5, Zip = 6 }
+```
+
+## Async Migration Patterns
+
+### Method Signatures
+
+All imaging operations become async:
+
+| Before | After |
+|--------|-------|
+| `void Execute(file, settings)` | `async Task ExecuteAsync(file, settings)` |
+| `IEnumerable<Error> Process()` | `async Task<IEnumerable<Error>> ProcessAsync()` |
+
+### Parallel Processing
+
+```csharp
+// WPF (synchronous)
+Parallel.ForEach(Files, new ParallelOptions { MaxDegreeOfParallelism = ... },
+    (file, state, i) => { Execute(file, settings); });
+
+// WinRT (async)
+await Parallel.ForEachAsync(Files, new ParallelOptions { MaxDegreeOfParallelism = ... },
+    async (file, ct) => { await ExecuteAsync(file, settings); });
+```
+
+### CLI Async Bridge
+
+CLI entry points must bridge async to sync:
+```csharp
+return RunSilentModeAsync(cliOptions).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
+```
+
+### Task.Factory.StartNew → Task.Run
+
+```csharp
+// WPF
+_ = Task.Factory.StartNew(StartExecutingWork, token, TaskCreationOptions.LongRunning, TaskScheduler.Default);
+
+// WinUI 3
+_ = Task.Run(() => StartExecutingWorkAsync());
+```
+
+## SoftwareBitmap as Interface Type
+
+When modules expose imaging interfaces (e.g., AI super-resolution), change parameter/return types:
+
+```csharp
+// WPF
+BitmapSource ApplySuperResolution(BitmapSource source, int scale, string filePath);
+
+// WinRT
+SoftwareBitmap ApplySuperResolution(SoftwareBitmap source, int scale, string filePath);
+```
+
+This eliminates manual `BitmapSource ↔ SoftwareBitmap` conversion code (unsafe `IMemoryBufferByteAccess` COM interop).
+
+## MultiFrame Image Handling
+
+```csharp
+// WinRT multi-frame encode (e.g., multi-page TIFF, animated GIF)
+for (uint i = 0; i < decoder.FrameCount; i++)
+{
+    if (i > 0)
+        await encoder.GoToNextFrameAsync();
+
+    var frame = await decoder.GetFrameAsync(i);
+    var bitmap = await frame.GetSoftwareBitmapAsync(
+        frame.BitmapPixelFormat,
+        BitmapAlphaMode.Premultiplied,
+        transform,
+        ExifOrientationMode.IgnoreExifOrientation,
+        ColorManagementMode.DoNotColorManage);
+    encoder.SetSoftwareBitmap(bitmap);
+}
+await encoder.FlushAsync();
+```
+
+## int → uint for Pixel Dimensions
+
+WinRT uses `uint` for all pixel dimensions. This affects:
+- `decoder.PixelWidth` / `decoder.PixelHeight` — `uint`
+- `BitmapTransform.ScaledWidth` / `ScaledHeight` — `uint`
+- `SoftwareBitmap` constructor — `uint` parameters
+- Test assertions: `Assert.AreEqual(96, ...)` → `Assert.AreEqual(96u, ...)`
+
+## Display SoftwareBitmap in UI
+
+```csharp
+var source = new SoftwareBitmapSource();
+// Must convert to Bgra8/Premultiplied for display
+if (bitmap.BitmapPixelFormat != BitmapPixelFormat.Bgra8 ||
+    bitmap.BitmapAlphaMode != BitmapAlphaMode.Premultiplied)
+{
+    bitmap = SoftwareBitmap.Convert(bitmap, BitmapPixelFormat.Bgra8, BitmapAlphaMode.Premultiplied);
+}
+await source.SetBitmapAsync(bitmap);
+myImage.Source = source;
+```
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+| Feature | WPF | WinRT | Impact |
+|---------|-----|-------|--------|
+| PNG interlace | `PngBitmapEncoder.Interlace` | Not available | Always non-interlaced |
+| Metadata stripping | Selective via `BitmapMetadata.Clone()` | All-or-nothing | Orientation EXIF also removed |
+| Pixel formats | Many (`Pbgra32`, `Bgr24`, `Indexed8`, ...) | Primarily `Bgra8`, `Rgba8`, `Gray8/16` | Convert to `Bgra8` |
+| WMP/HDP format | `WmpBitmapDecoder` | Not available | Not supported |
+| Pixel differences | WPF scaler | `BitmapInterpolationMode.Fant` | Not bit-identical |

+# Namespace and API Mapping Reference
+
+Complete reference for mapping WPF types to WinUI 3 equivalents, based on the ImageResizer migration.
+
+## Root Namespace Mapping
+
+| WPF Namespace | WinUI 3 Namespace |
+|---------------|-------------------|
+| `System.Windows` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml` |
+| `System.Windows.Automation` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Automation` |
+| `System.Windows.Automation.Peers` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Automation.Peers` |
+| `System.Windows.Controls` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls` |
+| `System.Windows.Controls.Primitives` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.Primitives` |

+| `System.Windows.Shapes` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Shapes` |
+| `System.Windows.Threading` | `Microsoft.UI.Dispatching` |
+| `System.Windows.Interop` | `WinRT.Interop` |
+
+## Core Type Mapping
+
+| WPF Type | WinUI 3 Type |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `System.Windows.Application` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Application` |
+| `System.Windows.Window` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Window` (NOT a DependencyObject) |
+| `System.Windows.DependencyObject` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.DependencyObject` |
+| `System.Windows.DependencyProperty` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.DependencyProperty` |

+| `System.Windows.Media.Color` | `Windows.UI.Color` (note: `Windows.UI`, not `Microsoft.UI`) |
+| `System.Windows.Media.Colors` | `Microsoft.UI.Colors` |
+
+## Controls Mapping
+
+### Direct Mapping (namespace-only change)
+
+These controls exist in both frameworks with the same name — change `System.Windows.Controls` to `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls`:
+
+`Button`, `TextBox`, `TextBlock`, `ComboBox`, `CheckBox`, `ListBox`, `ListView`, `Image`, `StackPanel`, `Grid`, `Border`, `ScrollViewer`, `ContentControl`, `UserControl`, `Page`, `Frame`, `Slider`, `ProgressBar`, `ToolTip`, `RadioButton`, `ToggleButton`
+
+### Controls With Different Names or Behavior
+
+| WPF | WinUI 3 | Notes |
+|-----|---------|-------|
+| `MessageBox` | `ContentDialog` | Must set `XamlRoot` before `ShowAsync()` |
+| `ContextMenu` | `MenuFlyout` | Different API surface |
+| `TabControl` | `TabView` | Different API |
+| `Menu` | `MenuBar` | Different API |
+| `StatusBar` | Custom `StackPanel` layout | No built-in equivalent |
+| `AccessText` | Not available | Use `AccessKey` property on target control |
+
+### WPF-UI (Lepo) to Native WinUI 3
+
+ImageResizer used the `WPF-UI` library (Lepo) for Fluent styling. These must be replaced with native WinUI 3 equivalents:
+
+| WPF-UI (Lepo) | WinUI 3 Native | Notes |
+|----------------|---------------|-------|
+| `<ui:FluentWindow>` | `<Window>` | Native window + `ExtendsContentIntoTitleBar` |
+| `<ui:Button>` | `<Button>` | Native button |
+| `<ui:NumberBox>` | `<NumberBox>` | Built into WinUI 3 |
+| `<ui:ProgressRing>` | `<ProgressRing>` | Built into WinUI 3 |
+| `<ui:SymbolIcon>` | `<SymbolIcon>` or `<FontIcon>` | Built into WinUI 3 |
+| `<ui:InfoBar>` | `<InfoBar>` | Built into WinUI 3 |
+| `<ui:TitleBar>` | Custom title bar via `SetTitleBar()` | Use `ExtendsContentIntoTitleBar` |
+| `<ui:ThemesDictionary>` | `<XamlControlsResources>` | In merged dictionaries |
+| `<ui:ControlsDictionary>` | Remove | Not needed — WinUI 3 has its own control styles |
+| `BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type ui:Button}}"` | `BasedOn="{StaticResource DefaultButtonStyle}"` | Named style keys |
+
+## Input Event Mapping
+
+| WPF Event | WinUI 3 Event | Notes |
+|-----------|--------------|-------|
+| `MouseLeftButtonDown` | `PointerPressed` | Check `IsLeftButtonPressed` on args |
+| `MouseLeftButtonUp` | `PointerReleased` | Check pointer properties |
+| `MouseRightButtonDown` | `RightTapped` | Or `PointerPressed` with right button check |
+| `MouseMove` | `PointerMoved` | Uses `PointerRoutedEventArgs` |
+| `MouseWheel` | `PointerWheelChanged` | Different event args |
+| `MouseEnter` | `PointerEntered` | |
+| `MouseLeave` | `PointerExited` | |
+| `MouseDoubleClick` | `DoubleTapped` | Different event args |
+| `KeyDown` | `KeyDown` | Same name, args type: `KeyRoutedEventArgs` |
+| `PreviewKeyDown` | No direct equivalent | Use `KeyDown` with handled pattern |
+
+## IValueConverter Signature Change
+
+| WPF | WinUI 3 |
+|-----|---------|
+| `Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)` | `Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, string language)` |
+| `ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)` | `ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, string language)` |
+
+Last parameter changes from `CultureInfo` to `string` (BCP-47 language tag). All converter classes must be updated.
+
+## Types That Moved to Different Hierarchies
+
+| WPF | WinUI 3 | Notes |
+|-----|---------|-------|
+| `System.Windows.Threading.Dispatcher` | `Microsoft.UI.Dispatching.DispatcherQueue` | Completely different API |
+| `System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority` | `Microsoft.UI.Dispatching.DispatcherQueuePriority` | Only 3 levels: High/Normal/Low |
+| `System.Windows.Interop.HwndSource` | `WinRT.Interop.WindowNative` | For HWND interop |
+| `System.Windows.Interop.WindowInteropHelper` | `WinRT.Interop.WindowNative.GetWindowHandle()` | |
+| `System.Windows.SystemColors` | Resource keys via `ThemeResource` | No direct static class |
+| `System.Windows.SystemParameters` | Win32 API or `DisplayInformation` | No direct equivalent |
+
+## NuGet Package Migration
+
+| WPF | WinUI 3 | Notes |
+|-----|---------|-------|
+| Built into .NET (no NuGet needed) | `Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK` | Required |
+| `PresentationCore` / `PresentationFramework` | `Microsoft.WinUI` (transitive) | |
+| `Microsoft.Xaml.Behaviors.Wpf` | `Microsoft.Xaml.Behaviors.WinUI.Managed` | |
+| `WPF-UI` (Lepo) | **Remove** — use native WinUI 3 controls | |
+| `CommunityToolkit.Mvvm` | `CommunityToolkit.Mvvm` (same) | |
+| `Microsoft.Toolkit.Wpf.*` | `CommunityToolkit.WinUI.*` | |
+| (none) | `Microsoft.Windows.SDK.BuildTools` | Required |
+| (none) | `WinUIEx` | Optional, window helpers |
+| (none) | `CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Converters` | Optional |
+| (none) | `CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Extensions` | Optional |
+| (none) | `Microsoft.Web.WebView2` | If using WebView |
+
+## Project File Changes

+    <ProjectPriFileName>PowerToys.ModuleName.pri</ProjectPriFileName>
+  </PropertyGroup>
+</Project>
+```
+
+Key changes:
+- `UseWPF` → `UseWinUI`
+- TFM: `net8.0-windows` → `net8.0-windows10.0.19041.0`
+- Add `WindowsPackageType=None` for unpackaged desktop apps
+- Add `SelfContained=true` + `WindowsAppSDKSelfContained=true`
+- Add `DISABLE_XAML_GENERATED_MAIN` if using custom `Program.cs` entry point
+- Set `ProjectPriFileName` to match your module's assembly name
+- Move icon from `Resources/` to `Assets/<Module>/`
+
+### XAML ApplicationDefinition Setup
+
+WinUI 3 requires explicit `ApplicationDefinition` declaration:
+
+```xml
+<ItemGroup>
+  <Page Remove="ImageResizerXAML\App.xaml" />
+</ItemGroup>
+<ItemGroup>
+  <ApplicationDefinition Include="ImageResizerXAML\App.xaml" />
+</ItemGroup>
+```
+
+### CsWinRT Interop (for GPO and native references)
+
+If the module references native C++ projects (like `GPOWrapper`):
+
+```xml
+<PropertyGroup>
+  <CsWinRTIncludes>PowerToys.GPOWrapper</CsWinRTIncludes>
+  <CsWinRTGeneratedFilesDir>$(OutDir)</CsWinRTGeneratedFilesDir>
+</PropertyGroup>
+```
+
+Change `GPOWrapperProjection.csproj` reference to direct `GPOWrapper.vcxproj` reference.
+
+### InternalsVisibleTo Migration
+
+Move from code file to `.csproj`:
+
+```csharp
+// DELETE: Properties/InternalsVisibleTo.cs
+// [assembly: InternalsVisibleTo("ImageResizer.Test")]
+```
+
+```xml
+<!-- ADD to .csproj: -->
+<ItemGroup>
+  <InternalsVisibleTo Include="ImageResizer.Test" />
+</ItemGroup>
+```
+
+### Items to Remove from .csproj
+
+```xml
+<!-- DELETE: WPF resource embedding -->
+<EmbeddedResource Update="Properties\Resources.resx">...</EmbeddedResource>
+<Resource Include="Resources\ImageResizer.ico" />
+<Compile Update="Properties\Resources.Designer.cs">...</Compile>
+<FrameworkReference Include="Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App.WPF" /> <!-- from CLI project -->

+
+### Critical: CLI Dependency Pattern
+
+**Do NOT** create `ProjectReference` from Exe to WinExe. This causes phantom build artifacts (`.exe`, `.deps.json`, `.runtimeconfig.json`) in the root output directory.
+
+```
+WRONG:  ImageResizerCLI (Exe) → ImageResizerUI (WinExe)    ← phantom artifacts
+CORRECT: ImageResizerCLI (Exe) → ImageResizerCommon (Library)
+         ImageResizerUI (WinExe) → ImageResizerCommon (Library)
+```
+
+Follow the `FancyZonesCLI` → `FancyZonesEditorCommon` pattern.
+
+### Files to Delete
+
+| File | Reason |
+|------|--------|
+| `Properties/Resources.resx` | Replaced by `Strings/en-us/Resources.resw` |
+| `Properties/Resources.Designer.cs` | Auto-generated; no longer needed |
+| `Properties/InternalsVisibleTo.cs` | Moved to `.csproj` `<InternalsVisibleTo>` |
+| `Helpers/Observable.cs` | Replaced by `CommunityToolkit.Mvvm.ObservableObject` |
+| `Helpers/RelayCommand.cs` | Replaced by `CommunityToolkit.Mvvm.Input` |
+| `Resources/*.ico` / `Resources/*.png` | Moved to `Assets/<Module>/` |
+| WPF `.dev.manifest` / `.prod.manifest` | Replaced by single `app.manifest` |
+| WPF-specific converters | Replaced by WinUI 3 converters with `string language` |
+
+---
+
+## MVVM Migration: Custom → CommunityToolkit.Mvvm Source Generators
+
+### Observable Base Class → ObservableObject + [ObservableProperty]
+
+**Before (custom Observable):**
+```csharp
+public class ResizeSize : Observable
+{
+    private int _id;
+    public int Id { get => _id; set => Set(ref _id, value); }
+
+    private ResizeFit _fit;
+    public ResizeFit Fit
+    {
+        get => _fit;
+        set
+        {
+            Set(ref _fit, value);
+            UpdateShowHeight();
+        }
+    }
+
+    private bool _showHeight = true;
+    public bool ShowHeight { get => _showHeight; set => Set(ref _showHeight, value); }
+    private void UpdateShowHeight() { ShowHeight = Fit == ResizeFit.Stretch || Unit != ResizeUnit.Percent; }
+}
+```
+
+**After (CommunityToolkit.Mvvm source generators):**
+```csharp
+public partial class ResizeSize : ObservableObject  // MUST be partial
+{
+    [ObservableProperty]
+    [JsonPropertyName("Id")]
+    private int _id;
+
+    [ObservableProperty]
+    [NotifyPropertyChangedFor(nameof(ShowHeight))]  // Replaces manual UpdateShowHeight()
+    private ResizeFit _fit;
+
+    // Computed property — no backing field, no manual update method
+    public bool ShowHeight => Fit == ResizeFit.Stretch || Unit != ResizeUnit.Percent;
+}
+```
+
+Key changes:
+- Class must be `partial` for source generators
+- `Observable` → `ObservableObject` (from CommunityToolkit.Mvvm)
+- Manual `Set(ref _field, value)` → `[ObservableProperty]` attribute
+- `PropertyChanged` dependencies → `[NotifyPropertyChangedFor(nameof(...))]`
+- Computed properties with manual `UpdateXxx()` → direct expression body
+
+### Custom Name Setter with Transform
+
+For properties that transform the value before storing:
+
+```csharp
+// Cannot use [ObservableProperty] because of value transformation
+private string _name;
+public string Name
+{
+    get => _name;
+    set => SetProperty(ref _name, ReplaceTokens(value));  // SetProperty from ObservableObject
+}
+```
+
+### RelayCommand → [RelayCommand] Source Generator
+
+```csharp
+// DELETE: Helpers/RelayCommand.cs (custom ICommand)
+
+// Before
+public ICommand ResizeCommand { get; } = new RelayCommand(Execute);
+
+// After
+[RelayCommand]
+private void Resize() { /* ... */ }
+// Source generator creates ResizeCommand property automatically
+```
+
+---
+
+## Resource String Migration (.resx → .resw)
+
+### ResourceLoaderInstance Helper
+
+```csharp
+internal static class ResourceLoaderInstance
+{
+    internal static ResourceLoader ResourceLoader { get; private set; }
+
+    static ResourceLoaderInstance()
+    {
+        ResourceLoader = new ResourceLoader("PowerToys.ImageResizer.pri");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Note**: Use the single-argument `ResourceLoader` constructor. The two-argument version (`ResourceLoader("file.pri", "path/Resources")`) may fail if the resource map path doesn't match the actual PRI structure.
+
+### Usage
+
+```csharp
+// WPF
+using ImageResizer.Properties;
+string text = Resources.MyStringKey;
+
+// WinUI 3
+string text = ResourceLoaderInstance.ResourceLoader.GetString("MyStringKey");
+```
+
+### Lazy Initialization for Resource-Dependent Statics
+
+`ResourceLoader` is not available at class-load time in all contexts (CLI mode, test harness). Use lazy initialization:
+
+**Before (crashes at class load):**
+```csharp
+private static readonly CompositeFormat _format =
+    CompositeFormat.Parse(Resources.Error_Format);
+
+private static readonly Dictionary<string, string> _tokens = new()
+{
+    ["$small$"] = Resources.Small,
+    ["$medium$"] = Resources.Medium,
+};
+```
+
+**After (lazy, safe):**
+```csharp
+private static CompositeFormat _format;
+private static CompositeFormat Format => _format ??=
+    CompositeFormat.Parse(ResourceLoaderInstance.ResourceLoader.GetString("Error_Format"));
+
+private static readonly Lazy<Dictionary<string, string>> _tokens = new(() =>
+    new Dictionary<string, string>
+    {
+        ["$small$"] = ResourceLoaderInstance.ResourceLoader.GetString("Small"),
+        ["$medium$"] = ResourceLoaderInstance.ResourceLoader.GetString("Medium"),
+    });
+// Usage: _tokens.Value.TryGetValue(...)
+```
+
+### XAML: x:Static → x:Uid
+
+```xml
+<!-- WPF -->
+<Button Content="{x:Static p:Resources.Cancel}" />
+<!-- WinUI 3 -->
+<Button x:Uid="Cancel" />
+```
+
+In `.resw`, use property-suffixed keys: `Cancel.Content`, `Header.Text`, etc.
+
+---
+
+## CLI Options Migration
+
+`System.CommandLine.Option<T>` constructor signature changed:
+
+```csharp
+// WPF era — string[] aliases
+public DestinationOption()
+    : base(_aliases, Properties.Resources.CLI_Option_Destination)
+
+// WinUI 3 — single string name
+public DestinationOption()
+    : base(_aliases[0], ResourceLoaderInstance.ResourceLoader.GetString("CLI_Option_Destination"))
+```
+
+---
+
+## Installer Updates
+
+### WiX Changes
+
+#### 1. Remove Satellite Assembly References
+
+Remove from `installer/PowerToysSetupVNext/Resources.wxs`:
+- `<Component>` entries for `<Module>.resources.dll`
+- `<RemoveFolder>` entries for locale directories
+- Module from `WinUI3AppsInstallFolder` `ParentDirectory` loop
+
+#### 2. Update File Component Generation
+
+Run `generateAllFileComponents.ps1` after migration. For Exe→WinExe dependency issues, add cleanup logic:
+
+```powershell
+# Strip phantom ImageResizer files from BaseApplications.wxs
+$content = $content -replace 'PowerToys\.ImageResizer\.exe', ''
+$content = $content -replace 'PowerToys\.ImageResizer\.deps\.json', ''
+$content = $content -replace 'PowerToys\.ImageResizer\.runtimeconfig\.json', ''
+```
+
+#### 3. Output Directory
+
+WinUI 3 modules output to `WinUI3Apps/`:
+```xml
+<OutputPath>..\..\..\..\$(Platform)\$(Configuration)\WinUI3Apps\</OutputPath>
+```
+
+### ESRP Signing
+
+Update `.pipelines/ESRPSigning_core.json` — all module binaries must use `WinUI3Apps\\` paths:
+
+```json
+{
+    "FileList": [
+        "WinUI3Apps\\PowerToys.ImageResizer.exe",
+        "WinUI3Apps\\PowerToys.ImageResizerExt.dll",
+        "WinUI3Apps\\PowerToys.ImageResizerContextMenu.dll"
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Build Pipeline Fixes
+
+### $(SolutionDir) → $(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)
+
+`$(SolutionDir)` is empty when building individual projects outside the solution. Replace with relative paths from the project file:
+
+```xml
+<!-- Before (breaks on standalone project build) -->
+<Exec Command="powershell $(SolutionDir)tools\build\convert-resx-to-rc.ps1" />
+
+<!-- After (works always) -->
+<Exec Command="powershell $(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)..\..\..\..\tools\build\convert-resx-to-rc.ps1" />
+```
+
+### MSIX Packaging: PreBuild → PostBuild
+
+MSIX packaging must happen AFTER the build (artifacts not ready at PreBuild):
+
+```xml
+<!-- Before -->
+<PreBuildEvent>MakeAppx.exe pack /d . /p "$(OutDir)Package.msix" /o</PreBuildEvent>
+
+<!-- After -->
+<PostBuildEvent>
+  if exist "$(OutDir)Package.msix" del "$(OutDir)Package.msix"
+  MakeAppx.exe pack /d "$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)." /p "$(OutDir)Package.msix" /o
+</PostBuildEvent>
+```
+
+### RC File Icon Path Escaping
+
+Windows Resource Compiler requires double-backslash paths:
+
+```c
+// Before (breaks)
+IDI_ICON1 ICON "..\\ui\Assets\ImageResizer\ImageResizer.ico"
+// After
+IDI_ICON1 ICON "..\\ui\\Assets\\ImageResizer\\ImageResizer.ico"
+```
+
+### BOM/Encoding Normalization
+
+Migration may strip UTF-8 BOM from C# files (`// Copyright` → `// Copyright`). This is cosmetic and safe, but be aware it will show as changes in diff.
+
+---
+
+## Test Adaptation
+
+### Tests Requiring WPF Runtime
+
+If tests still need WPF types (e.g., comparing old vs new output), temporarily add:
+```xml
+<UseWPF>true</UseWPF>
+```
+Remove this after fully migrating all test code to WinRT APIs.
+
+### Tests Using ResourceLoader
+
+Unit tests cannot easily initialize WinUI 3 `ResourceLoader`. Options:
+- Hardcode expected strings in tests: `"Value must be between '{0}' and '{1}'."`
+- Delete tests that only verify resource string lookup
+- Avoid creating `App` instances in test harness (WinUI App cannot be instantiated in tests)
+
+### Async Test Methods
+
+All imaging tests become async:
+```csharp
+// Before
+[TestMethod]
+public void ResizesImage() { ... }
+
+// After
+[TestMethod]
+public async Task ResizesImageAsync() { ... }
+```
+
+### uint Assertions
+
+```csharp
+// Before
+Assert.AreEqual(96, image.Frames[0].PixelWidth);
+// After
+Assert.AreEqual(96u, decoder.PixelWidth);
+```
+
+### Pixel Data Access in Tests
+
+```csharp
+// Before (WPF)
+public static Color GetFirstPixel(this BitmapSource source)
+{
+    var pixel = new byte[4];
+    new FormatConvertedBitmap(
+        new CroppedBitmap(source, new Int32Rect(0, 0, 1, 1)),
+        PixelFormats.Bgra32, null, 0).CopyPixels(pixel, 4, 0);
+    return Color.FromArgb(pixel[3], pixel[2], pixel[1], pixel[0]);
+}
+
+// After (WinRT)
+public static async Task<(byte R, byte G, byte B, byte A)> GetFirstPixelAsync(
+    this BitmapDecoder decoder)
+{
+    using var bitmap = await decoder.GetSoftwareBitmapAsync(
+        BitmapPixelFormat.Bgra8, BitmapAlphaMode.Premultiplied);
+    var buffer = new Windows.Storage.Streams.Buffer(
+        (uint)(bitmap.PixelWidth * bitmap.PixelHeight * 4));
+    bitmap.CopyToBuffer(buffer);
+    using var reader = DataReader.FromBuffer(buffer);
+    byte b = reader.ReadByte(), g = reader.ReadByte(),
+         r = reader.ReadByte(), a = reader.ReadByte();
+    return (r, g, b, a);
+}
+```
+
+### Metadata Assertions
+
+```csharp
+// Before
+Assert.AreEqual("Test", ((BitmapMetadata)image.Frames[0].Metadata).Comment);
+
+// After
+var props = await decoder.BitmapProperties.GetPropertiesAsync(
+    new[] { "System.Photo.DateTaken" });
+Assert.IsTrue(props.ContainsKey("System.Photo.DateTaken"),
+    "Metadata should be preserved during transcode");
+```
+
+### AllowUnsafeBlocks for SoftwareBitmap Tests
+
+If tests access pixel data via `IMemoryBufferByteAccess`, add:
+```xml
+<AllowUnsafeBlocks>true</AllowUnsafeBlocks>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Settings JSON Backward Compatibility
+
+- Settings are stored in `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\<ModuleName>\`
+- Schema must remain backward-compatible across upgrades
+- Add new fields with defaults; never remove or rename existing fields
+- Create custom enums matching WPF enum integer values for deserialization (e.g., `ImagingEnums.cs`)
+- See: `src/settings-ui/Settings.UI.Library/`
+
+## IPC Contract
+
+If the module communicates with the runner or settings UI:
+1. Update BOTH sides of the IPC contract
+2. Test settings changes are received by the module
+3. Test module state changes are reflected in settings UI
+4. Reference: `doc/devdocs/core/settings/runner-ipc.md`
+
+---
+

+# Threading and Window Management Migration
+
+Based on patterns from the ImageResizer migration.
+
+## Dispatcher → DispatcherQueue
+
+### API Mapping
+
+| WPF | WinUI 3 |
+|-----|---------|
+| `Dispatcher.Invoke(Action)` | `DispatcherQueue.TryEnqueue(Action)` |
+| `Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(Action)` | `DispatcherQueue.TryEnqueue(Action)` |
+| `Dispatcher.Invoke(DispatcherPriority, Action)` | `DispatcherQueue.TryEnqueue(DispatcherQueuePriority, Action)` |
+| `Dispatcher.CheckAccess()` | `DispatcherQueue.HasThreadAccess` |
+| `Dispatcher.VerifyAccess()` | Check `DispatcherQueue.HasThreadAccess` (no exception-throwing method) |
+
+### Priority Mapping
+
+WinUI 3 has only 3 levels: `High`, `Normal`, `Low`.
+
+| WPF `DispatcherPriority` | WinUI 3 `DispatcherQueuePriority` |
+|-------------------------|----------------------------------|
+| `Send` | `High` |
+| `Normal` / `Input` / `Loaded` / `Render` / `DataBind` | `Normal` |
+| `Background` / `ContextIdle` / `ApplicationIdle` / `SystemIdle` | `Low` |
+
+### Pattern: Global DispatcherQueue Access (from ImageResizer)
+
+WPF provided `Application.Current.Dispatcher` globally. WinUI 3 requires explicit storage:
+
+```csharp
+// Store DispatcherQueue at app startup
+private static DispatcherQueue _uiDispatcherQueue;
+
+public static void InitializeDispatcher()
+{
+    _uiDispatcherQueue = DispatcherQueue.GetForCurrentThread();
+}
+```
+
+Usage with thread-check pattern (from `Settings.Reload()`):
+```csharp
+var currentDispatcher = DispatcherQueue.GetForCurrentThread();
+if (currentDispatcher != null)
+{
+    // Already on UI thread
+    ReloadCore(jsonSettings);
+}
+else if (_uiDispatcherQueue != null)
+{
+    // Dispatch to UI thread
+    _uiDispatcherQueue.TryEnqueue(() => ReloadCore(jsonSettings));
+}
+else
+{
+    // Fallback (e.g., CLI mode, no UI)
+    ReloadCore(jsonSettings);
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern: DispatcherQueue in ViewModels (from ProgressViewModel)
+
+```csharp
+public class ProgressViewModel
+{
+    private readonly DispatcherQueue _dispatcherQueue;
+
+    public ProgressViewModel()
+    {
+        _dispatcherQueue = DispatcherQueue.GetForCurrentThread();
+    }
+
+    private void OnProgressChanged(double progress)
+    {
+        _dispatcherQueue.TryEnqueue(() =>
+        {
+            Progress = progress;
+            // other UI updates...
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern: Async Dispatch (await)
+
+```csharp
+// WPF
+await this.Dispatcher.InvokeAsync(() => { /* UI work */ });
+
+// WinUI 3 (using TaskCompletionSource)
+var tcs = new TaskCompletionSource();
+this.DispatcherQueue.TryEnqueue(() =>
+{
+    try { /* UI work */ tcs.SetResult(); }
+    catch (Exception ex) { tcs.SetException(ex); }
+});
+await tcs.Task;
+```
+
+### C++/WinRT Threading
+
+| Old API | New API |
+|---------|---------|
+| `winrt::resume_foreground(CoreDispatcher)` | `wil::resume_foreground(DispatcherQueue)` |
+| `CoreDispatcher.RunAsync()` | `DispatcherQueue.TryEnqueue()` |
+
+Add `Microsoft.Windows.ImplementationLibrary` NuGet for `wil::resume_foreground`.
+
+---
+
+## Window Management
+
+### WPF Window vs WinUI 3 Window
+
+| Feature | WPF `Window` | WinUI 3 `Window` |
+|---------|-------------|------------------|
+| Base class | `ContentControl` → `DependencyObject` | **NOT** a control, NOT a `DependencyObject` |
+| `Resources` property | Yes | No — use root container's `Resources` |
+| `DataContext` property | Yes | No — use root `Page`/`UserControl` |
+| `VisualStateManager` | Yes | No — use inside child controls |
+| `Load`/`Unload` events | Yes | No |
+| `SizeToContent` | Yes (`Height`/`Width`/`WidthAndHeight`) | No — must implement manually |
+| `WindowState` (min/max/normal) | Yes | No — use `AppWindow.Presenter` |
+| `WindowStyle` | Yes | No — use `AppWindow` title bar APIs |
+| `ResizeMode` | Yes | No — use `AppWindow.Presenter` |
+| `WindowStartupLocation` | Yes | No — calculate manually |
+| `Icon` | `Window.Icon` | `AppWindow.SetIcon()` |
+| `Title` | `Window.Title` | `AppWindow.Title` (or `Window.Title`) |
+| Size (Width/Height) | Yes | No — use `AppWindow.Resize()` |
+| Position (Left/Top) | Yes | No — use `AppWindow.Move()` |
+| `IsDefault`/`IsCancel` on buttons | Yes | No — handle Enter/Escape in code-behind |
+
+### Getting AppWindow from Window
+
+```csharp
+using Microsoft.UI;
+using Microsoft.UI.Windowing;
+using WinRT.Interop;
+
+IntPtr hwnd = WindowNative.GetWindowHandle(window);
+WindowId windowId = Win32Interop.GetWindowIdFromWindow(hwnd);
+AppWindow appWindow = AppWindow.GetFromWindowId(windowId);
+```
+
+### Pattern: SizeToContent Replacement (from ImageResizer)
+
+WinUI 3 has no `SizeToContent`. ImageResizer implemented a manual equivalent:
+
+```csharp
+private void SizeToContent()
+{
+    if (Content is not FrameworkElement content)
+        return;
+
+    // Measure desired content size
+    content.Measure(new Size(double.PositiveInfinity, double.PositiveInfinity));
+    var desiredHeight = content.DesiredSize.Height + WindowChromeHeight + Padding;
+
+    // Account for DPI scaling
+    var scaleFactor = Content.XamlRoot.RasterizationScale;
+    var pixelHeight = (int)(desiredHeight * scaleFactor);
+    var pixelWidth = (int)(WindowWidth * scaleFactor);
+
+    // Resize via AppWindow
+    var hwnd = WindowNative.GetWindowHandle(this);
+    var windowId = Win32Interop.GetWindowIdFromWindow(hwnd);
+    var appWindow = AppWindow.GetFromWindowId(windowId);
+    appWindow.Resize(new Windows.Graphics.SizeInt32(pixelWidth, pixelHeight));
+}
+```
+
+**Key details:**
+- `WindowChromeHeight` ≈ 32px for the title bar
+- Must multiply by `RasterizationScale` for DPI-aware sizing
+- Call `SizeToContent()` after page navigation or content changes
+- Unsubscribe previous event handlers before subscribing new ones to avoid memory leaks
+
+### Window Positioning (Center Screen)
+
+```csharp
+var displayArea = DisplayArea.GetFromWindowId(windowId, DisplayAreaFallback.Nearest);
+var centerX = (displayArea.WorkArea.Width - appWindow.Size.Width) / 2;
+var centerY = (displayArea.WorkArea.Height - appWindow.Size.Height) / 2;
+appWindow.Move(new Windows.Graphics.PointInt32(centerX, centerY));
+```
+
+### Window State (Minimize/Maximize)
+
+```csharp
+(appWindow.Presenter as OverlappedPresenter)?.Maximize();
+(appWindow.Presenter as OverlappedPresenter)?.Minimize();
+(appWindow.Presenter as OverlappedPresenter)?.Restore();
+```
+
+### Title Bar Customization
+
+```csharp
+// Extend content into title bar
+this.ExtendsContentIntoTitleBar = true;
+this.SetTitleBar(AppTitleBar); // AppTitleBar is a XAML element
+
+// Or via AppWindow API
+if (AppWindowTitleBar.IsCustomizationSupported())
+{
+    var titleBar = appWindow.TitleBar;
+    titleBar.ExtendsContentIntoTitleBar = true;
+    titleBar.ButtonBackgroundColor = Colors.Transparent;
+}
+```
+
+### Tracking the Main Window
+
+```csharp
+public partial class App : Application
+{
+    public static Window MainWindow { get; private set; }
+
+    protected override void OnLaunched(LaunchActivatedEventArgs args)
+    {
+        MainWindow = new MainWindow();
+        MainWindow.Activate();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### ContentDialog Requires XamlRoot
+
+```csharp
+var dialog = new ContentDialog
+{
+    Title = "Confirm",
+    Content = "Are you sure?",
+    PrimaryButtonText = "Yes",
+    CloseButtonText = "No",
+    XamlRoot = this.Content.XamlRoot  // REQUIRED
+};
+var result = await dialog.ShowAsync();
+```
+
+### File Pickers Require HWND
+
+```csharp
+var picker = new FileOpenPicker();
+picker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".jpg");
+
+// REQUIRED for desktop apps
+var hwnd = WindowNative.GetWindowHandle(App.MainWindow);
+WinRT.Interop.InitializeWithWindow.Initialize(picker, hwnd);
+
+var file = await picker.PickSingleFileAsync();
+```
+
+### Window Close Handling
+
+```csharp
+// WPF
+protected override void OnClosing(CancelEventArgs e) { e.Cancel = true; this.Hide(); }
+
+// WinUI 3
+this.AppWindow.Closing += (s, e) => { e.Cancel = true; this.AppWindow.Hide(); };
+```
+
+---
+
+## Custom Entry Point (DISABLE_XAML_GENERATED_MAIN)
+
+ImageResizer uses a custom `Program.cs` entry point instead of the WinUI 3 auto-generated `Main`. This is needed for:
+- CLI mode (process files without showing UI)
+- Custom initialization before the WinUI 3 App starts
+- Single-instance enforcement
+
+### Setup
+
+In `.csproj`:
+```xml
+<DefineConstants>DISABLE_XAML_GENERATED_MAIN,TRACE</DefineConstants>
+```
+
+Create `Program.cs`:
+```csharp
+public static class Program
+{
+    [STAThread]
+    public static int Main(string[] args)
+    {
+        if (args.Length > 0)
+        {
+            // CLI mode — no UI
+            return RunCli(args);
+        }
+
+        // GUI mode
+        WinRT.ComWrappersSupport.InitializeComWrappers();
+        Application.Start((p) =>
+        {
+            var context = new DispatcherQueueSynchronizationContext(
+                DispatcherQueue.GetForCurrentThread());
+            SynchronizationContext.SetSynchronizationContext(context);
+            _ = new App();
+        });
+        return 0;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### WPF App Constructor Removal
+
+WPF modules often created `new App()` to initialize the WPF `Application` and get `Application.Current.Dispatcher`. This is no longer needed — the WinUI 3 `Application.Start()` handles this.
+
+```csharp
+// DELETE (WPF pattern):
+_imageResizerApp = new App();
+// REPLACE with: Store DispatcherQueue explicitly (see Global DispatcherQueue Access above)
+```

+# XAML Migration Guide
+
+Detailed reference for migrating XAML from WPF to WinUI 3, based on the ImageResizer migration.
+
+## XML Namespace Declaration Changes
+
+### Before (WPF)
+
+```xml
+<Window xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
+        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
+        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:MyApp"
+        xmlns:m="clr-namespace:ImageResizer.Models"
+        xmlns:p="clr-namespace:ImageResizer.Properties"
+        xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"
+        xmlns:ui="http://schemas.lepo.co/wpfui/2022/xaml"
+        x:Class="MyApp.MainWindow">
+```
+
+### After (WinUI 3)
+
+```xml
+<Window xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
+        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
+        xmlns:local="using:MyApp"
+        xmlns:m="using:ImageResizer.Models"
+        xmlns:converters="using:ImageResizer.Converters"
+        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
+        xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
+        x:Class="MyApp.MainWindow">
+```
+
+### Key Changes
+
+| WPF Syntax | WinUI 3 Syntax | Notes |
+|------------|---------------|-------|
+| `clr-namespace:Foo` | `using:Foo` | CLR namespace mapping |
+| `clr-namespace:Foo;assembly=Bar` | `using:Foo` | Assembly qualification not needed |
+| `xmlns:ui="http://schemas.lepo.co/wpfui/2022/xaml"` | **Remove entirely** | WPF-UI namespace no longer needed |
+| `xmlns:p="clr-namespace:...Properties"` | **Remove** | No more `.resx` string bindings |
+| `sys:String` (from mscorlib) | `x:String` | XAML intrinsic types |
+| `sys:Int32` | `x:Int32` | XAML intrinsic types |
+| `sys:Boolean` | `x:Boolean` | XAML intrinsic types |
+| `sys:Double` | `x:Double` | XAML intrinsic types |
+
+## Unsupported Markup Extensions
+
+| WPF Markup Extension | WinUI 3 Alternative |
+|----------------------|---------------------|
+| `{DynamicResource Key}` | `{ThemeResource Key}` (theme-reactive) or `{StaticResource Key}` |
+| `{x:Static Type.Member}` | `{x:Bind}` to a static property, or code-behind |
+| `{x:Type local:MyType}` | Not supported; use code-behind |
+| `{x:Array}` | Not supported; create collections in code-behind |
+| `{x:Code}` | Not supported |
+
+### DynamicResource → ThemeResource
+
+```xml
+<!-- WPF -->
+<TextBlock Foreground="{DynamicResource MyBrush}" />
+
+<!-- WinUI 3 -->
+<TextBlock Foreground="{ThemeResource MyBrush}" />
+```
+
+`ThemeResource` automatically updates when the app theme changes (Light/Dark/HighContrast). For truly dynamic non-theme resources, set values in code-behind or use data binding.
+
+### x:Static Resource Strings → x:Uid
+
+This is the most pervasive XAML change. WPF used `{x:Static}` to bind to strongly-typed `.resx` resource strings. WinUI 3 uses `x:Uid` with `.resw` files.
+
+**WPF:**
+```xml
+<Button Content="{x:Static p:Resources.Cancel}" />
+<TextBlock Text="{x:Static p:Resources.Input_Header}" />
+```
+
+**WinUI 3:**
+```xml
+<Button x:Uid="Cancel" />
+<TextBlock x:Uid="Input_Header" />
+```
+
+In `Strings/en-us/Resources.resw`:
+```xml
+<data name="Cancel.Content" xml:space="preserve">
+    <value>Cancel</value>
+</data>
+<data name="Input_Header.Text" xml:space="preserve">
+    <value>Select a size</value>
+</data>
+```
+
+The `x:Uid` suffix (`.Content`, `.Text`, `.Header`, `.PlaceholderText`, etc.) matches the target property name.
+
+### DataType with x:Type → Remove
+
+**WPF:**
+```xml
+<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type m:ResizeSize}">
+```
+
+**WinUI 3:**
+```xml
+<DataTemplate x:DataType="m:ResizeSize">
+```
+
+## WPF-UI (Lepo) Controls Removal
+
+If the module uses the `WPF-UI` library, replace all Lepo controls with native WinUI 3 equivalents.
+
+### Window
+
+```xml
+<!-- WPF (WPF-UI) -->
+<ui:FluentWindow
+    ExtendsContentIntoTitleBar="True"
+    WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen">
+    <ui:TitleBar Title="Image Resizer" />
+    ...
+</ui:FluentWindow>
+
+<!-- WinUI 3 (native) -->
+<Window>
+    <!-- Title bar managed via code-behind: this.ExtendsContentIntoTitleBar = true; -->
+    ...
+</Window>
+```
+
+### App.xaml Resources
+
+```xml
+<!-- WPF (WPF-UI) -->
+<Application.Resources>
+    <ResourceDictionary>
+        <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
+            <ui:ThemesDictionary Theme="Dark" />
+            <ui:ControlsDictionary />
+        </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
+    </ResourceDictionary>
+</Application.Resources>
+
+<!-- WinUI 3 (native) -->
+<Application.Resources>
+    <ResourceDictionary>
+        <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
+            <XamlControlsResources xmlns="using:Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls" />
+        </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
+    </ResourceDictionary>
+</Application.Resources>
+```
+
+### Common Control Replacements
+
+```xml
+<!-- WPF-UI NumberBox -->
+<ui:NumberBox Value="{Binding Width}" />
+<!-- WinUI 3 -->
+<NumberBox Value="{x:Bind ViewModel.Width, Mode=TwoWay}" />
+
+<!-- WPF-UI InfoBar -->
+<ui:InfoBar Title="Warning" Message="..." IsOpen="True" Severity="Warning" />
+<!-- WinUI 3 -->
+<InfoBar Title="Warning" Message="..." IsOpen="True" Severity="Warning" />
+
+<!-- WPF-UI ProgressRing -->
+<ui:ProgressRing IsIndeterminate="True" />
+<!-- WinUI 3 -->
+<ProgressRing IsActive="True" />
+
+<!-- WPF-UI SymbolIcon -->
+<ui:SymbolIcon Symbol="Add" />
+<!-- WinUI 3 -->
+<SymbolIcon Symbol="Add" />
+```
+
+### Button Patterns
+
+```xml
+<!-- WPF -->
+<Button IsDefault="True" Content="OK" />
+<Button IsCancel="True" Content="Cancel" />
+
+<!-- WinUI 3 (no IsDefault/IsCancel) -->
+<Button Style="{StaticResource AccentButtonStyle}" Content="OK" />
+<Button Content="Cancel" />
+<!-- Handle Enter/Escape keys in code-behind if needed -->
+```
+
+## Style and Template Changes
+
+### Triggers → VisualStateManager
+
+WPF `Triggers`, `DataTriggers`, and `EventTriggers` are not supported.
+
+**WPF:**
+```xml
+<Style TargetType="Button">
+    <Style.Triggers>
+        <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
+            <Setter Property="Background" Value="LightBlue"/>
+        </Trigger>
+        <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsEnabled}" Value="False">
+            <Setter Property="Opacity" Value="0.5"/>
+        </DataTrigger>
+    </Style.Triggers>
+</Style>
+```
+
+**WinUI 3:**
+```xml
+<Style TargetType="Button">
+    <Setter Property="Template">
+        <Setter.Value>
+            <ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
+                <Grid x:Name="RootGrid" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
+                    <VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
+                        <VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
+                            <VisualState x:Name="PointerOver">
+                                <VisualState.Setters>
+                                    <Setter Target="RootGrid.Background" Value="LightBlue"/>
+                                </VisualState.Setters>
+                            </VisualState>
+                        </VisualStateGroup>
+                    </VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
+                    <ContentPresenter />
+                </Grid>
+            </ControlTemplate>
+        </Setter.Value>
+    </Setter>
+</Style>
+```
+
+### No Binding in Setter.Value
+
+```xml
+<!-- WPF (works) -->
+<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{Binding TextColor}"/>
+
+<!-- WinUI 3 (does NOT work — use StaticResource) -->
+<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource TextColorBrush}"/>
+```
+
+### Visual State Name Changes
+
+| WPF | WinUI 3 |
+|-----|---------|
+| `MouseOver` | `PointerOver` |
+| `Disabled` | `Disabled` |
+| `Pressed` | `Pressed` |
+
+## Resource Dictionary Changes
+
+### Window.Resources → Grid.Resources
+
+WinUI 3 `Window` is NOT a `DependencyObject` — no `Window.Resources`, `DataContext`, or `VisualStateManager`.
+
+```xml
+<!-- WPF -->
+<Window>
+    <Window.Resources>
+        <SolidColorBrush x:Key="MyBrush" Color="Red"/>
+    </Window.Resources>
+    <Grid>...</Grid>
+</Window>
+
+<!-- WinUI 3 -->
+<Window>
+    <Grid>
+        <Grid.Resources>
+            <SolidColorBrush x:Key="MyBrush" Color="Red"/>
+        </Grid.Resources>
+        ...
+    </Grid>
+</Window>
+```
+
+### Theme Dictionaries
+
+```xml
+<ResourceDictionary>
+    <ResourceDictionary.ThemeDictionaries>
+        <ResourceDictionary x:Key="Light">
+            <SolidColorBrush x:Key="MyBrush" Color="#FF000000"/>
+        </ResourceDictionary>
+        <ResourceDictionary x:Key="Dark">
+            <SolidColorBrush x:Key="MyBrush" Color="#FFFFFFFF"/>
+        </ResourceDictionary>
+        <ResourceDictionary x:Key="HighContrast">
+            <SolidColorBrush x:Key="MyBrush" Color="{ThemeResource SystemColorWindowTextColor}"/>
+        </ResourceDictionary>
+    </ResourceDictionary.ThemeDictionaries>
+</ResourceDictionary>
+```
+
+## URI Scheme Changes
+
+| WPF | WinUI 3 |
+|-----|---------|
+| `pack://application:,,,/MyAssembly;component/image.png` | `ms-appx:///Assets/image.png` |
+| `pack://application:,,,/image.png` | `ms-appx:///image.png` |
+| Relative path `../image.png` | `ms-appx:///image.png` |
+
+Assets directory convention: `Resources/` → `Assets/<Module>/`
+
+## Data Binding Changes
+
+### {Binding} vs {x:Bind}
+
+Both are available. Prefer `{x:Bind}` for compile-time safety and performance.
+
+| Feature | `{Binding}` | `{x:Bind}` |
+|---------|------------|------------|
+| Default mode | `OneWay` | **`OneTime`** (explicit `Mode=OneWay` required!) |
+| Context | `DataContext` | Code-behind class |
+| Resolution | Runtime | Compile-time |
+| Performance | Reflection-based | Compiled |
+| Function binding | No | Yes |
+
+### WPF-Specific Binding Features to Remove
+
+```xml
+<!-- These WPF-only features must be removed or rewritten -->
+<TextBox Text="{Binding Value, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />
+<!-- WinUI 3: UpdateSourceTrigger not needed; TextBox uses PropertyChanged by default -->
+<TextBox Text="{x:Bind ViewModel.Value, Mode=TwoWay}" />
+
+{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, ...}
+<!-- WinUI 3: Use x:Bind which binds to the page itself, or use ElementName -->
+
+<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding}" />
+<!-- WinUI 3: Must specify explicit path -->
+<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{x:Bind ViewModel.Items}" />
+```
+
+## WPF-Only Window Properties to Remove
+
+These properties exist on WPF `Window` but not WinUI 3:
+
+```xml
+<!-- Remove from XAML — handle in code-behind via AppWindow API -->
+SizeToContent="Height"
+WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen"
+ResizeMode="NoResize"
+ExtendsContentIntoTitleBar="True"  <!-- Set in code-behind -->
+```
+
+## XAML Control Property Changes
+
+| WPF Property | WinUI 3 Property | Notes |
+|-------------|-----------------|-------|
+| `Focusable` | `IsTabStop` | Different name |
+| `SnapsToDevicePixels` | Not available | WinUI handles pixel snapping internally |
+| `UseLayoutRounding` | `UseLayoutRounding` | Same |
+| `IsHitTestVisible` | `IsHitTestVisible` | Same |
+| `TextBox.VerticalScrollBarVisibility` | `ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility` (attached) | Attached property |
+
+## XAML Formatting (XamlStyler)
+
+After migration, run XamlStyler to normalize formatting:
+- Alphabetize xmlns declarations and element attributes
+- Add UTF-8 BOM to all XAML files
+- Normalize comment spacing: `<!-- text -->` → `<!--  text  -->`
+
+PowerToys command: `.\.pipelines\applyXamlStyling.ps1 -Main`

 A key point is for everyone to understand the approach that will be taken. We want to be sure that any work done will be accepted. Larger-scope items will require a spec to outline the approach and allow for discussion. Specs help collaborators consider different solutions, describe feature behavior, and plan for errors. Achieving agreement in a spec before writing code often results in simpler code and less wasted effort.

+# Awake Module
+
+## Synopsis
+
+Manages configuration for the Awake utility, which keeps your computer awake without changing power settings.
+
+## Description
+
+The `Awake` module configures PowerToys Awake, a utility that prevents your
+computer from going to sleep or turning off the display. This is useful
+during installations, presentations, or any scenario where you need to
+temporarily override power settings without permanently changing them.
+
+Awake supports multiple modes including indefinite keep-awake, timed
+intervals, and scheduled expiration. The display can be kept on or allowed
+to turn off independently of the system sleep state.
+
+## Properties
+
+The Awake module supports the following configurable properties:
+
+### keepDisplayOn
+
+Controls whether the display remains on while Awake is active.
+
+**Type:** boolean  
+**Default:** `true`  
+**Description:** When `true`, prevents the display from turning off. When
+`false`, only prevents system sleep while allowing the display to turn off
+according to power settings.
+
+### mode
+
+Specifies the Awake operating mode.
+
+**Type:** integer  
+**Allowed values:**
+
+- `0` - Off (Awake is disabled).
+- `1` - Keep awake indefinitely.
+- `2` - Keep awake for a timed interval.
+- `3` - Keep awake until a specific date/time.
+
+**Default:** `0`
+
+### intervalHours
+
+Number of hours to keep the system awake (used when mode is `2`).
+
+**Type:** integer  
+**Range:** `0` to `999`  
+**Default:** `0`
+
+### intervalMinutes
+
+Number of minutes to keep the system awake (used when mode is `2`).
+
+**Type:** integer  
+**Range:** `0` to `59`  
+**Default:** `1`
+
+### expirationDateTime
+
+The date and time when Awake should automatically disable (used when mode is `3`).
+
+**Type:** string (ISO 8601 datetime format)  
+**Format:** `"YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.fffffffzzz"`  
+**Example:** `"2025-12-31T23:59:59.0000000-08:00"`
+
+### customTrayTimes
+
+Custom time intervals displayed in the system tray context menu for quick activation.
+
+**Type:** object  
+**Description:** A dictionary of custom time presets for quick access. Keys
+are display names, values are time specifications.

+# KeyboardManager Module
+
+## Synopsis
+
+Manages configuration for the Keyboard Manager utility, which allows key
+remapping and custom keyboard shortcuts.
+
+## Description
+
+The `KeyboardManager` module configures PowerToys Keyboard Manager, a utility
+that enables you to remap keys and create custom keyboard shortcuts. It
+allows reassigning keys, creating application-specific remappings, and
+defining shortcuts that run programs or commands.
+
+## Properties
+
+The KeyboardManager module supports the following configurable properties:
+
+### Enabled
+
+Controls whether Keyboard Manager is enabled.
+
+**Type:** boolean  
+**Default:** `true`
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1 - Enable Keyboard Manager with direct execution
+
+This example enables the Keyboard Manager utility.
+
+```powershell
+$config = @{
+    settings = @{
+        properties = @{
+            Enabled = $true
+        }
+        name = "KeyboardManager"
+        version = "1.0"
+    }
+} | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10 -Compress
+
+PowerToys.DSC.exe set --resource 'settings' --module KeyboardManager --input $config
+```
+
+### Example 2 - Configure with DSC
+
+This example enables Keyboard Manager through DSC configuration.
+
+```bash
+dsc config set --file keyboardmanager-config.dsc.yaml
+```
+
+```yaml
+# keyboardmanager-config.dsc.yaml
+$schema: https://aka.ms/dsc/schemas/v3/bundled/config/document.json

+        properties:
+          Enabled: true
+        name: KeyboardManager
+        version: 1.0
+```
+
+### Example 3 - Install and configure with WinGet
+
+This example installs PowerToys and enables Keyboard Manager.
+
+```bash
+winget configure winget-keyboardmanager.yaml
+```
+
+```yaml
+# winget-keyboardmanager.yaml
+$schema: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PowerShell/DSC/main/schemas/2023/08/config/document.json
+metadata:
+  winget:
+    processor: dscv3
+resources:
+  - name: Install PowerToys
+    type: Microsoft.WinGet.DSC/WinGetPackage
+    properties:
+      id: Microsoft.PowerToys
+      source: winget
+  
+  - name: Enable Keyboard Manager
+    type: Microsoft.PowerToys/KeyboardManagerSettings
+    properties:
+      settings:
+        properties:
+          Enabled: true
+        name: KeyboardManager
+        version: 1.0
+```
+
+## Important notes
+
+> **Note:** The Keyboard Manager module DSC configuration controls the enabled state only. Key remappings and shortcut definitions are managed through the Keyboard Manager UI and stored separately. This design ensures that complex remapping configurations are not accidentally overwritten by DSC operations.
+
+To configure key remappings:
+1. Enable Keyboard Manager using DSC
+2. Open PowerToys Settings
+3. Navigate to Keyboard Manager
+4. Use "Remap a key" or "Remap a shortcut" to configure specific mappings
+
+## Use cases
+
+### Enable for deployment
+
+Enable Keyboard Manager on new workstations:
+
+```yaml
+resources:
+  - name: Enable Keyboard Manager
+    type: Microsoft.PowerToys/KeyboardManagerSettings
+    properties:
+      settings:
+        properties:
+          Enabled: true
+        name: KeyboardManager
+        version: 1.0

+
+# PowerToys DSC Overview
+
+## Synopsis
+
+PowerToys supports Desired State Configuration (DSC) v3 for declarative configuration management of PowerToys settings.
+
+## Description
+
+PowerToys includes Microsoft Desired State Configuration (DSC) support
+through the `PowerToys.DSC.exe` command-line tool, enabling you to:
+
+- Declare and enforce desired configuration states for PowerToys
+  utilities.
+- Automate PowerToys configuration across multiple systems.
+- Integrate PowerToys configuration with WinGet and other DSC-compatible
+  tools.
+- Version control your PowerToys settings as code.
+
+The PowerToys DSC implementation provides a **settings** resource that
+manages configuration for all PowerToys utilities (modules). Each utility
+can be configured independently, allowing granular control over your
+PowerToys environment.
+
+## Usage methods
+
+PowerToys DSC can be used in three ways:
+
+### 1. Direct execution with PowerToys.DSC.exe
+
+Execute DSC operations directly using the PowerToys.DSC.exe command-line
+tool:
+
+```powershell
+# Get current settings for a module
+PowerToys.DSC.exe get --resource 'settings' --module Awake
+
+# Set settings for a module
+$input = '{"settings":{...}}'
+PowerToys.DSC.exe set --resource 'settings' --module Awake --input $input
+
+# Test if settings match desired state
+PowerToys.DSC.exe test --resource 'settings' --module Awake --input $input
+```
+
+For detailed information, see [PowerToys.DSC.exe command reference][01].
+
+### 2. Microsoft Desired State Configuration (DSC)
+
+Use PowerToys DSC resources in standard DSC configuration documents:
+
+```yaml
+# powertoys-config.dsc.yaml
+$schema: https://aka.ms/dsc/schemas/v3/bundled/config/document.json
+resources:
+  - name: Configure Awake
+    type: Microsoft.PowerToys/AwakeSettings
+    properties:
+      settings:
+        properties:
+          keepDisplayOn: true
+          mode: 1
+        name: Awake
+        version: 0.0.1
+```
+
+### 3. WinGet Configuration
+
+Integrate PowerToys configuration with WinGet package installation:
+
+```yaml
+# winget-powertoys.yaml
+$schema: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PowerShell/DSC/main/schemas/2023/08/config/document.json
+metadata:
+  winget:
+    processor: dscv3

+
+```powershell
+# Define desired state.

+    settings = @{
+        properties = @{
+            keepDisplayOn = $true
+            mode = 1

+        name = "Awake"
+        version = "0.0.1"
+    }
+} | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10 -Compress
+
+# Test for drift.
+$result = PowerToys.DSC.exe test --resource 'settings' --module Awake `
+  --input $desired | ConvertFrom-Json
+
+if ($result._inDesiredState) {
+    Write-Host "Configuration is in desired state"
+} else {

+    
+    # Apply configuration.
+    PowerToys.DSC.exe set --resource 'settings' --module Awake `
+      --input $desired
+}
+```
+
+### Example 5 - Export all module configurations
+
+This example exports configuration for all modules.
+
+```powershell
+# Get list of all modules.
+$modules = PowerToys.DSC.exe modules --resource 'settings'
+
+# Export each module's configuration.
+$configurations = @{}
+foreach ($module in $modules) {
+    $config = PowerToys.DSC.exe export --resource 'settings' `
+      --module $module | ConvertFrom-Json
+    $configurations[$module] = $config
+}
+
+# Save to file.
+$configurations | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10 `
+  | Out-File "powertoys-backup.json"
