+
+# Common Libraries – Shared Code Guidance
+
+Guidelines for modifying shared code in `src/common/`. Changes here can have wide-reaching impact across the entire PowerToys codebase.
+
+## Scope
+
+- Logging infrastructure (`src/common/logger/`)
+- IPC primitives and named pipe utilities
+- Settings serialization and management
+- DPI awareness and scaling utilities
+- Telemetry helpers
+- General utilities (JSON parsing, string helpers, etc.)
+
+## Guidelines
+
+### API Stability
+
+- Avoid breaking public headers/APIs; if changed, search & update all callers
+- Coordinate ABI-impacting struct/class layout changes; keep binary compatibility
+- When modifying public interfaces, grep the entire codebase for usages
+
+### Performance
+
+- Watch perf in hot paths (hooks, timers, serialization)
+- Avoid avoidable allocations in frequently called code
+- Profile changes that touch performance-sensitive areas
+
+### Dependencies
+
+- Ask before adding third-party deps or changing serialization formats
+- New dependencies must be MIT-licensed or approved by PM team
+- Add any new external packages to `NOTICE.md`
+
+### Logging
+
+- C++ logging uses spdlog (`Logger::info`, `Logger::warn`, `Logger::error`, `Logger::debug`)
+- Initialize with `init_logger()` early in startup
+- Keep hot paths quiet – no logging in tight loops or hooks
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- No unintended ABI breaks
+- No noisy logs in hot paths
+- New non-obvious symbols briefly commented
+- All callers updated when interfaces change
+
+## Code Style
+
+- **C++**: Follow `.clang-format` in `src/`; use Modern C++ patterns per C++ Core Guidelines
+- **C#**: Follow `src/.editorconfig`; enforce StyleCop.Analyzers
+
+## Validation
+
+- Build: `tools\build\build.cmd` from `src/common/` folder
+- Verify no ABI breaks: grep for changed function/struct names across codebase
+- Check logs: ensure no new logging in performance-critical paths

+---
+
+# Runner & Settings UI – Core Components Guidance
+
+Guidelines for modifying the Runner (tray/module loader) and Settings UI (configuration app). These components communicate via Windows Named Pipes using JSON messages.
+
+## Runner (`src/runner/`)
+
+### Scope
+
+- Module bootstrap, hotkey management, settings bridge, update/elevation handling
+
+### Guidelines
+
+- If IPC/JSON contracts change, mirror updates in `src/settings-ui/**`
+- Keep module discovery in `src/runner/main.cpp` in sync when adding/removing modules
+- Keep startup lean: avoid blocking/network calls in early init path
+- Preserve GPO & elevation behaviors; confirm no regression in policy handling
+- Ask before modifying update workflow or elevation logic
+
+### Acceptance Criteria
+
+- Stable startup, consistent contracts, no unnecessary logging noise
+
+## Settings UI (`src/settings-ui/`)
+
+### Scope
+
+- WinUI/WPF UI, communicates with Runner over named pipes; manages persisted settings schema
+
+### Guidelines
+
+- Don't break settings schema silently; add migration when shape changes
+- If IPC/JSON contracts change, align with `src/runner/**` implementation
+- Keep UI responsive: marshal to UI thread for UI-bound operations
+- Reuse existing styles/resources; avoid duplicate theme keys
+- Add/adjust migration or serialization tests when changing persisted settings
+
+### Acceptance Criteria
+
+- Schema integrity preserved, responsive UI, consistent contracts, no style duplication
+
+## Shared Concerns
+
+### IPC Contract Changes
+
+When modifying the JSON message format between Runner and Settings UI:
+
+1. Update both `src/runner/` and `src/settings-ui/` in the same PR
+2. Preserve backward compatibility where possible
+3. Add migration logic for settings schema changes
+4. Test both directions of communication
+
+### Code Style
+
+- **C++ (Runner)**: Follow `.clang-format` in `src/`
+- **C# (Settings UI)**: Follow `src/.editorconfig`, use StyleCop.Analyzers
+- **XAML**: Use XamlStyler or run `.\.pipelines\applyXamlStyling.ps1 -Main`
+
+## Validation
+
+- Build Runner: `tools\build\build.cmd` from `src/runner/`
+- Build Settings UI: `tools\build\build.cmd` from `src/settings-ui/`
+- Test IPC: Launch both Runner and Settings UI, verify communication works
+- Schema changes: Run serialization tests if settings shape changed

-# Fix Active PR Comments
-
-## Mission
-Resolve active pull request comments by applying only simple fixes. For complex refactors, write a plan instead of changing code.
-
-## Scope & Preconditions
-- You must have an active pull request context or a provided PR number.
-- Only implement simple changes. Do not implement large refactors.
-- If required context is missing, request it and stop.
-
-## Inputs
-- Required: ${input:pr_number:PR number or URL}
-- Optional: ${input:comment_scope:files or areas to focus on}
-- Optional: ${input:fixing_guidelines:additional fixing guidelines from the user}

-1. Locate all active (unresolved) PR review comments for the given PR.
-2. For each comment, classify the change scope:
-   - Simple change: limited edits, localized fix, low risk, no broad redesign.
-   - Large refactor: multi-file redesign, architecture change, or risky behavior change.
-3. For each large refactor request:
-   - Do not modify code.
-   - Write a planning document to Generated Files/prReview/${input:pr_number}/fixPlan/.
-4. For each simple change request:
-   - Implement the fix with minimal edits.
-   - Run quick checks if needed.
-   - Commit and push the change.
-5. For comments that seem invalid, unclear, or not applicable (even if simple):
-   - Do not change code.
-   - Add the item to a summary table in Generated Files/prReview/${input:pr_number}/fixPlan/overview.md.
-   - Consult back to the end user in a friendly, polite tone.
-6. Respond to each comment that you fixed:
-   - Reply in the active conversation.
-   - Use a polite or friendly tone.
-   - Keep the response under 200 words.
-   - Resolve the comment after replying.
-
-## Output Expectations
-- Simple fixes: code changes committed and pushed.
-- Large refactors: a plan file saved to Generated Files/prReview/${input:pr_number}/fixPlan/.
-- Invalid or unclear comments: captured in Generated Files/prReview/${input:pr_number}/fixPlan/overview.md.
-- Each fixed comment has a reply under 200 words and is resolved.
-
-## Plan File Template
-Use this template for each large refactor item:
-
-# Fix Plan: <short title>
-
-## Context
-- Comment link:
-- Impacted areas:
-
-## Overview Table Template
-Use this table in Generated Files/prReview/${input:pr_number}/fixPlan/overview.md:
-
-| Comment link | Summary | Reason not applied | Suggested follow-up |
-| --- | --- | --- | --- |
-|  |  |  |  |
-
-## Quality Assurance
-- Verify plan file path exists.
-- Ensure no code changes were made for large refactor items.
-- Confirm replies are under 200 words and comments are resolved.

-## 2. 核心 API
-
-### 2.1 索引管理
-```csharp
-// 创建/打开索引
-var result = AppContentIndexer.GetOrCreateIndex("indexName");
-if (result.Succeeded) {
-    _indexer = result.Indexer;
-    // result.Status: CreatedNew | OpenedExisting
-}
-
-// 等待索引能力就绪
-await _indexer.WaitForIndexCapabilitiesAsync();
-
-// 等待索引空闲（建索引完成）
-await _indexer.WaitForIndexingIdleAsync(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(120));
-
-// 清理
-_indexer.RemoveAll();  // 删除所有索引
-_indexer.Remove(id);   // 删除单个
-_indexer.Dispose();
-```
-
-### 2.2 添加内容到索引
-```csharp
-// 索引文本 → 自动建立 TextLexical + TextSemantic 索引
-IndexableAppContent textContent = AppManagedIndexableAppContent.CreateFromString(id, text);
-_indexer.AddOrUpdate(textContent);
-
-// 索引图片 → 自动建立 ImageSemantic + ImageOcr 索引
-IndexableAppContent imageContent = AppManagedIndexableAppContent.CreateFromBitmap(id, softwareBitmap);
-_indexer.AddOrUpdate(imageContent);
-```
-
-### 2.3 查询
-```csharp
-// 文本查询
-TextQueryOptions options = new TextQueryOptions {
-    Language = "en-US",                          // 可选
-    MatchScope = QueryMatchScope.Unconstrained,  // 匹配范围
-    TextMatchType = TextLexicalMatchType.Fuzzy   // Fuzzy | Exact
-};
-AppIndexTextQuery query = _indexer.CreateTextQuery(searchText, options);
-IReadOnlyList<TextQueryMatch> matches = query.GetNextMatches(5);
-
-// 图片查询
-ImageQueryOptions imgOptions = new ImageQueryOptions {
-    MatchScope = QueryMatchScope.Unconstrained,
-    ImageOcrTextMatchType = TextLexicalMatchType.Fuzzy
-};
-AppIndexImageQuery imgQuery = _indexer.CreateImageQuery(searchText, imgOptions);
-IReadOnlyList<ImageQueryMatch> imgMatches = imgQuery.GetNextMatches(5);
-```
-
-### 2.4 能力检查（只读）
-```csharp
-IndexCapabilities capabilities = _indexer.GetIndexCapabilities();
-
-bool textLexicalOK = capabilities.GetCapabilityState(IndexCapability.TextLexical)

-## 3. 四种索引能力
-
-| 能力 | 说明 | 触发方式 |
-|------|------|----------|
-| `TextLexical` | 词法/关键词搜索 | CreateFromString() 自动 |
-| `TextSemantic` | AI 语义搜索 (Embedding) | CreateFromString() 自动 |
-| `ImageSemantic` | 图像语义搜索 | CreateFromBitmap() 自动 |
-| `ImageOcr` | 图片 OCR 文字搜索 | CreateFromBitmap() 自动 |
-
----
-
-## 4. 可控选项（有限）
-
-### TextQueryOptions
-| 属性 | 类型 | 说明 |
-|------|------|------|
-| `Language` | string | 查询语言（可选，如 "en-US"）|
-| `MatchScope` | QueryMatchScope | Unconstrained / Region / ContentItem |
-| `TextMatchType` | TextLexicalMatchType | **Fuzzy** / Exact（仅影响 Lexical）|
-
-### ImageQueryOptions
-| 属性 | 类型 | 说明 |
-|------|------|------|
-| `MatchScope` | QueryMatchScope | Unconstrained / Region / ContentItem |
-| `ImageOcrTextMatchType` | TextLexicalMatchType | **Fuzzy** / Exact（仅影响 OCR）|
-
-### 枚举值说明
-
-**QueryMatchScope:**
-- `Unconstrained` - 无约束，同时使用 Lexical + Semantic
-- `Region` - 限制在特定区域
-- `ContentItem` - 限制在单个内容项
-
-**TextLexicalMatchType:**
-- `Fuzzy` - 模糊匹配，允许拼写错误、近似词
-- `Exact` - 精确匹配，必须完全一致
-
----
-
-## 5. 关键限制 ⚠️
-
-| 限制 | 说明 |
-|------|------|
-| **不能单独指定 Semantic/Lexical** | 系统自动同时使用所有可用能力 |
-| **Fuzzy/Exact 只影响 Lexical** | 对 Semantic 搜索无效 |
-| **能力检查是只读的** | `GetIndexCapabilities()` 只能查看，不能控制 |
-| **无相似度阈值** | 不能设置 Semantic 匹配的阈值 |
-| **无结果排序控制** | 无法指定按相关度或其他方式排序 |
-| **语言需手动传** | 不会自动检测，需开发者指定 |
-| **无相关度分数** | 查询结果不返回匹配分数 |

-- 系统级集成，无需额外部署模型
-
-### 缺点 ❌
-- 无法精细控制搜索类型
-- 不能只用 Semantic Search
-- 选项有限，缺乏高级配置
-- 实验性 API，可能变更
-
-### 替代方案
-**如果需要纯 Semantic Search（向量搜索）**，建议：
-- 直接使用 Embedding 模型生成向量
-- 配合向量数据库（Azure Cosmos DB、FAISS、Qdrant 等）

-# 🧭 Creating a new PowerToy: end-to-end developer guide
-
-First of all, thank you for wanting to contribute to PowerToys. The work we do would not be possible without the support of community supporters like you.
-
-This guide documents the process of building a new PowerToys utility from scratch, including architecture decisions, integration steps, and common pitfalls.
-
----
-
-## 1. Overview and prerequisites
-
-A PowerToy module is a self-contained utility integrated into the PowerToys ecosystem. It can be UI-based, service-based, or both.
-
-### Requirements
-
-- [Visual Studio 2026](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/) and the following workloads/individual components:
-  - Desktop Development with C++
-  - WinUI application development
-  - .NET desktop development
-  - Windows 10 SDK (10.0.22621.0)
-  - Windows 11 SDK (10.0.26100.3916)
-- .NET 8 SDK
-- Fork the [PowerToys repository](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/tree/main) locally
-- [Validate that you are able to build and run](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/doc/devdocs/development/debugging.md) `PowerToys.slnx`.
-
-Optional: 
-- [WiX v5 toolset](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/tree/main) for the installer
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> To ensure all the correct VS Workloads are installed, use [the WinGet configuration files](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/tree/e13d6a78aafbcf32a4bb5f8581d041e1d057c3f1/.config) in the project repository. (Use the one that matches your VS distribution. ie: VS Community would use `configuration.winget`)
-
-### Folder structure
-
-```
-src/
-  modules/
-    your_module/
-      YourModule.sln
-      YourModuleInterface/
-      YourModuleUI/ (if needed)
-      YourModuleService/ (if needed)
-```
-
----
-## 2. Design and planning
-
-### Decide the type of module
-
-Think about how your module works and which existing modules behave similarly. You are going to want to think about the UI needed for the application, the lifecycle, whether it is a service that is always running or event based. Below are some basic scenarios with some modules to explore. You can write your application in C++ or C#.
-- **UI-only:** e.g., ColorPicker
-- **Background service:** e.g., LightSwitch, Awake
-- **Hybrid (UI + background logic):** e.g., ShortcutGuide
-- **C++/C# interop:** e.g., PowerRename 
-
-### Write your module interface
-
-Begin by setting up the [PowerToy module template project](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/tree/main/tools/project_template). This will generate boilerplate for you to begin your new module. Below are the key headers in the Module Interface (`dllmain.cpp`) and an explanation of their purpose:
-1. This is where module settings are defined. These can be anything from strings, bools, ints, and even custom Enums.
-```c++
-struct ModuleSettings {};
-```
-
-2. This is the header for the full class. It inherits the PowerToyModuleIface
-```c++
-class ModuleInterface : public PowertoyModuleIface 
-{
-  private:
-    // the private members of the class
-    // Can include the enabled variable, logic for event handlers, or hotkeys.
-  public:
-    // the public members of the class
-    // Will include the constructor and initialization logic.
-}
-```
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Many of the class functions are boilerplate and need simple string replacements with your module name. The rest of the functions below will require bigger changes.
-
-3. GPO stands for "Group Policy Object" and allows for administrators to configure settings across a network of machines. It is required that your module is on this list of settings. You can right click the `powertoys_gpo` object to go to the definition and set up the `getConfiguredModuleEnabledValue` for your module.
-```c++
-virtual powertoys_gpo::gpo_rule_configured_t gpo_policy_enabled_configuration() override
-{
-    return powertoys_gpo::getConfiguredModuleEnabledValue();
-}
-```
-
-4. `init_settings()` initializes the settings for the interface. Will either pull from existing settings.json or use defaults.
-```c++
-void ModuleInterface::init_settings()
-```
-
-5. `get_config` retrieves the settings from the settings.json file.
-```c++
-virtual bool get_config(wchar_t* buffer, int* buffer_size) override
-```
-
-6. `set_config` sets the new settings to the settings.json file.
-```c++
-virtual void set_config(const wchar_t* config) override
-```
-
-7. `call_custom_action` allows custom actions to be called based on signals from the settings app.
-```c++
-void call_custom_action(const wchar_t* action) override
-```
-
-8. Lifecycle events control whether the module is enabled or not, as well as the default status of the module.
-```c++
-virtual void enable() // starts the module
-virtual void disable() // terminates the module and performs any cleanup
-virtual bool is_enabled() // returns if the module is currently enabled
-virtual bool is_enabled_by_default() const override // allows the module to dictate whether it should be enabled by default in the PowerToys app.
-```
-
-9. Hotkey functions control the status of the hotkey.
-```c++
-// takes the hotkey from settings into a format that the interface can understand
-void parse_hotkey(PowerToysSettings::PowerToyValues& settings) 
-
-// returns the hotkeys from settings
-virtual size_t get_hotkeys(Hotkey* hotkeys, size_t buffer_size) override 
-
-// performs logic when the hotkey event is fired
-virtual bool on_hotkey(size_t hotkeyId) override 
-```
-
-### Notes
-
-- Keep module logic isolated under `/modules/<YourModule>`
-- Use shared utilities from [`common`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/tree/main/src/common) instead of cross-module dependencies
-- init/set/get config use preset functions to access the settings. Check out the [`settings_objects.h`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/common/SettingsAPI/settings_helpers.h) in `src\common\SettingsAPI`
-
----
-## 3. Bootstrapping your module
-
-1. Use the [template](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/tree/main/tools/project_template) to generate the module interface starter code.
-2. Update all projects and namespaces with your module name.
-3. Update GUIDs in `.vcxproj` and solution files.
-4. Update the functions mentioned in the above section with your custom logic.
-5. In order for your module to be detected by the runner you are required to add  references to various lists. In order to register your module, add the corresponding module reference to the lists that can be found in the following files. (Hint: search other modules names to find the lists quicker)
-    - `src/runner/modules.h`
-    - `src/runner/modules.cpp`
-    - `src/runner/resource.h`
-    - `src/runner/settings_window.h`
-    - `src/runner/settings_window.cpp`
-    - `src/runner/main.cpp`
-    - `src/common/logger.h` (for logging)
-6. ModuleInterface should build your `ModuleInterface.dll`. This will allow the runner to interact with your service.
-
-> [!TIP]
-> Mismatched module IDs are one of the most common causes of load failures. Keep your ID consistent across manifest, registry, and service.
-
----
-## 4. Write your service
-
-This is going to look different for every PowerToy. It may be easier to develop the application independently, and then link in the PowerToys settings logic later. But you have to write the service first, before connecting it to the runner.
-
-### Notes
-
-- This is a separate project from the Module Interface.
-- You can develop this project using C# or C++.
-- Set the service icon using the `.rc` file.
-- Set the service name in the `.vcxproj` by setting the `<TargetName>`
-```
-<PropertyGroup>
-  <OutDir>..\..\..\..\$(Platform)\$(Configuration)\$(MSBuildProjectName)\</OutDir>
-  <TargetName>PowerToys.LightSwitchService</TargetName>
-</PropertyGroup>
-```
-- To view the code of the `.vcxproj`, right click the item and select **Unload project**
-- Use the following functions to interact with settings from your service
-```
-ModuleSettings::instance().InitFileWatcher();
-ModuleSettings::instance().LoadSettings();
-auto& settings = ModuleSettings::instance().settings();
-```
-These come from the `ModuleSettings.h` file that lives with the Service. You can copy this from another module (e.g., Light Switch) and adjust to fit your needs.
-
-If your module has a user interface:
-- Use the **WinUI Blank App** template when setting up your project
-- Use [Windows design best practices](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/apps/design/basics/)
-- Use the [WinUI 3 Gallery](https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9p3jfpwwdzrc) for help with your UI code, and additional guidance.
-
-## 5. Settings integration
-
-PowerToys settings are stored per-module as JSON under:
-
-```
-%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\<module>\settings.json
-```
-
-### Implementation steps
-
-- In `src\settings-ui\Settings.UI.Library\` create `<module>Properties.cs` and `<module>Settings.cs`
-- `<module>Properties.cs` is where you will define your defaults. Every setting needs to be represented here. This should match what was set in the Module Interface.
-- `<module>Settings.cs`is where your settings.json will be built from. The structure should match the following
-```cs
-public ModuleSettings()
-{
-    Name = ModuleName;
-    Version = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString();
-    Properties = new ModuleProperties(); // settings properties you set above.
-}
-```
-
-- In `src\settings-ui\Settings.UI\ViewModels` create `<module>ViewModel.cs` this is where the interaction happens between your settings page in the PowerToys app and the settings file that is stored on the device. Changes here will trigger the settings watcher via a `NotifyPropertyChanged` event.
-- Create a `SettingsPage.xaml` at `src\settings-ui\Settings.UI\SettingsXAML\Views`. This will be the page where the user interacts with the settings of your module.
-- Be sure to use resource strings for user facing strings so they can be localized. (`x:Uid` connects to Resources.resw)
-```xaml
-// LightSwitch.xaml
-<ComboBoxItem
-    x:Uid="LightSwitch_ModeOff"
-    AutomationProperties.AutomationId="OffCBItem_LightSwitch"
-    Tag="Off" />
-
-// Resources.resw
-<data name="LightSwitch_ModeOff.Content" xml:space="preserve">
-  <value>Off</value>
-</data>
-```
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> In the above example we use `.Content` to target the content of the Combobox. This can change per UI element (e.g., `.Text`, `.Header`, etc.)
-
-> **Reminder:** Manual changes via external editors (VS Code, Notepad) do **not** trigger the settings watcher. Only changes written through PowerToys trigger reloads.
-
----
-
-### Gotchas:
-
-- Only use the WinUI 3 framework, _not_ UWP.
-- Use [`DispatcherQueue`](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/apps/develop/dispatcherqueue) when updating UI from non-UI threads.
-
----
-## 6. Building and debugging
-
-### Debugging steps
-
-1. If this is your first time debugging PowerToys, be sure to follow [these steps first](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/doc/devdocs/development/debugging.md#pre-debugging-setup).
-2. Set "runner" as the start up project and ensure your build configuration is set to match your system (ARM64/x64)
-3. Select <kbd>F5</kbd> or the **Local Windows Debugger** button to begin debugging. This should start the PowerToys runner.
-4. To set breakpoints in your service, select Ctrl+Alt+P and search for your service to attach to the runner.
-5. Use logs to document changes. The logs live at `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\RunnerLogs` and `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\Module\Service\<version>` for the specific module.
-
-> [!TIP]
-> PowerToys caches `.nuget` artifacts aggressively. Use `git clean -xfd` when builds behave unexpectedly.
-
----
-## 7. Installer and packaging (WiX)
-
-### Add your module to installer
-
-1. Install [`WixToolset.Heat`](https://www.nuget.org/packages/WixToolset.Heat/) for Wix5 via nuget
-2. Inside `installer\PowerToysInstallerVNext` add a new file for your module: `Module.wxs`
-3. Inside of this file you will need copy the format from another module (ie: Light Switch) and replace the strings and GUID values.
-4. The key part will be `<!--ModuleNameFiles_Component_Def-->` which is a placeholder for code that will be generated by `generateFileComponents.ps1`.
-5. Inside `Product.wxs` add a line item in the `<Feature Id="CoreFeature" ... >` section. It will look like a list of ` <ComponentGroupRef Id="ModuleComponentGroup" />` items.
-6. Inside `generateFileComponents.ps1` you will need to add an entry to the bottom for your new module. It will follow the following format. `-fileListName <Module>Files` will match the string you set in `Module.wxs`, `<ModuleServiceName>` will match the name of your exe.
-```bash
-# Module Name
-Generate-FileList -fileDepsJson "" -fileListName <Module>Files -wxsFilePath $PSScriptRoot\<Module>.wxs -depsPath "$PSScriptRoot..\..\..\$platform\Release\<ModuleServiceName>"
-Generate-FileComponents -fileListName "<Module>Files" -wxsFilePath $PSScriptRoot\<Module>.wxs -regroot $registryroot
-```
----
-## 8. Testing and validation
-
-### UI tests
-
-- Place under `/modules/<YourModule>/Tests`
-- Create a new [WinUI Unit Test App](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/apps/winui/winui3/testing/create-winui-unit-test-project)
-- Write unit tests following the format from previous modules (ie: Light Switch). This can be to test your standalone UI (if you're a module like Color Picker) or to verify that the Settings UI in the PowerToys app is controlling your service.
-
-### Manual validation
-
-- Enable/disable in PowerToys Settings
-- Check initialization in logs
-- Confirm icons, tooltips, and OOBE page appear correctly
-
-### Pro tips
-
-1. Validate wake/sleep and elevation states. Background modules often fail silently after resume if event handles aren’t recreated.
-2. Use Windows Sandbox to simulate clean install environments
-3. To simulate a "new user" you can delete the PowerToys folder from `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft`
-
-### Shortcut conflict detection
-
-If your module has a shortcut, ensure that it is properly registered following [the steps listed in the documentation](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/doc/devdocs/core/settings/settings-implementation.md#shortcut-conflict-detection) for conflict detection.
-
----
-## 9. The final touches
-
-### Out-of-Box experience (OOBE) page
-
-The OOBE page is a custom settings page that gives the user at a glance information about each module. This window opens before the Settings application for new users and after updates. Create `OOBE<ModuleName>.xaml` at `src\settings-ui\Settings.UI\SettingsXAML\OOBE\Views`. You will also need to add your module name to the enum at `src\settings-ui\Settings.UI\OOBE\Enums\PowerToysModules.cs`.
-
-### Module assets
-
-Now that your PowerToy is _done_ you can start to think about the assets that will represent your module.
-- Module Icon: This will be displayed in a number of places: OOBE page, in the README, on the home screen of PowerToys, on your individual module settings page, etc.  
-- Module Image: This is the image you see at the top of each individual settings page.
-- OOBE Image: This is the header you see on the OOBE page for each module
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> This step is something that the Design team will handle internally to ensure consistency throughout the application. If you have ideas or recommendations on what the icon or screenshots should be for your module feel free to leave it in the "Additional Comments" section of the PR and the team will take it into consideration.
-
-### Documentation
-
-There are two types of documentation that will be required when submitting a new PowerToy:
-1. Developer documentation: This will live in the [PowerToys repo](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/doc/devdocs/modules) at `/doc/devdocs/modules/` and should tell a developer how to work on your app. It should outline the module architecture, key files, testing, and tips on debugging if necessary.
-2. Microsoft Learn documentation: When your new Module is ready to be merged into the PowerToys repository, an internal team member will create Microsoft Learn documentation so that users will understand how to use your module. There is not much work on your end as the developer for this step, but keep an eye on your PR in case we need more information about your PowerToy for this step.

-# MCCS Capabilities String Parser - Recursive Descent Design
-
-## Overview
-
-This document describes the recursive descent parser implementation for DDC/CI MCCS (Monitor Control Command Set) capabilities strings.
-
-### Attention!
-This document and the code implement are generated by Copilot.
-
-## Grammar Definition (BNF)
-
-```bnf
-capabilities      ::= ['('] segment* [')']
-segment           ::= identifier '(' segment_content ')'
-segment_content   ::= text | vcp_entries | hex_list
-vcp_entries       ::= vcp_entry*
-vcp_entry         ::= hex_byte [ '(' hex_list ')' ]
-hex_list          ::= hex_byte*
-hex_byte          ::= [0-9A-Fa-f]{2}
-identifier        ::= [a-z_A-Z]+
-text              ::= [^()]+
-```
-
-## Example Input
-
-```
-(prot(monitor)type(lcd)model(PD3220U)cmds(01 02 03 07)vcp(10 12 14(04 05 06) 16 60(11 12 0F) DC DF)mccs_ver(2.2)vcpname(F0(Custom Setting)))
-```
-
-## Parser Architecture
-
-### Component Hierarchy
-
-```
-MccsCapabilitiesParser (main parser)
-├── ParseCapabilities()      → MccsParseResult
-├── ParseSegment()           → ParsedSegment?
-├── ParseBalancedContent()   → string
-├── ParseIdentifier()        → ReadOnlySpan<char>
-├── ApplySegment()           → void
-│   ├── ParseHexList()       → List<byte>
-│   ├── ParseVcpEntries()    → Dictionary<byte, VcpCodeInfo>
-│   └── ParseVcpNames()      → void

-│
-├── VcpNameParser (sub-parser for vcpname() content)
-│   └── TryParseEntry()      → (byte code, string name)
-│
-└── WindowParser (sub-parser for windowN() content)
-    ├── Parse()              → WindowCapability
-    └── ParseSubSegment()    → (name, content)?
-```
-
-### Design Principles
-
-1. **ref struct for Zero Allocation**
-   - Main parser uses `ref struct` to avoid heap allocation
-   - Works with `ReadOnlySpan<char>` for efficient string slicing
-   - No intermediate string allocations during parsing
-
-2. **Recursive Descent Pattern**
-   - Each grammar rule has a corresponding parse method
-   - Methods call each other recursively for nested structures
-   - Single-character lookahead via `Peek()`
-
-3. **Error Recovery**
-   - Errors are accumulated, not thrown
-   - Parser attempts to continue after errors
-   - Returns partial results when possible
-
-4. **Sub-parsers for Specialized Content**
-   - `VcpEntryParser` for VCP code entries
-   - `VcpNameParser` for custom VCP names
-   - Each sub-parser handles its own grammar subset
-
-## Parse Methods Detail
-
-### ParseCapabilities()
-Entry point. Handles optional outer parentheses and iterates through segments.
-
-```csharp
-private MccsParseResult ParseCapabilities()
-{
-    // Handle optional outer parens
-    // while (!IsAtEnd()) { ParseSegment() }
-    // Return result with accumulated errors
-}
-```
-
-### ParseSegment()
-Parses a single `identifier(content)` segment.
-
-```csharp
-private ParsedSegment? ParseSegment()
-{
-    // 1. ParseIdentifier()
-    // 2. Expect '('
-    // 3. ParseBalancedContent()
-    // 4. Expect ')'
-}
-```
-
-### ParseBalancedContent()
-Extracts content between balanced parentheses, handling nested parens.
-
-```csharp
-private string ParseBalancedContent()
-{
-    int depth = 1;
-    while (depth > 0) {
-        if (char == '(') depth++;
-        if (char == ')') depth--;
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### ParseVcpEntries()
-Delegates to `VcpEntryParser` for the specialized VCP entry grammar.
-
-```csharp
-vcp_entry ::= hex_byte [ '(' hex_list ')' ]
-
-Examples:
-- "10"           → code=0x10, values=[]
-- "14(04 05 06)" → code=0x14, values=[4, 5, 6]
-- "60(11 12 0F)" → code=0x60, values=[0x11, 0x12, 0x0F]
-```
-
-## Comparison with Other Approaches
-
-| Approach | Pros | Cons |
-|----------|------|------|
-| **Recursive Descent** (this) | Clear structure, handles nesting, extensible | More code |
-| **Regex** (DDCSharp) | Concise | Hard to debug, limited nesting |
-| **Mixed** (original) | Pragmatic | Inconsistent, hard to maintain |
-
-## Performance Characteristics
-
-- **Time Complexity**: O(n) where n = input length
-- **Space Complexity**: O(1) for parsing + O(m) for output where m = number of VCP codes
-- **Allocations**: Minimal - only for output structures
-
-## Supported Segments
-
-| Segment | Description | Parser |
-|---------|-------------|--------|
-| `prot(...)` | Protocol type | Direct assignment |
-| `type(...)` | Display type (lcd/crt) | Direct assignment |
-| `model(...)` | Model name | Direct assignment |
-| `cmds(...)` | Supported commands | ParseHexList |
-| `vcp(...)` | VCP code entries | VcpEntryParser |
-| `mccs_ver(...)` | MCCS version | Direct assignment |
-| `vcpname(...)` | Custom VCP names | VcpNameParser |
-| `windowN(...)` | PIP/PBP window capabilities | WindowParser |
-
-### Window Segment Format
-
-The `windowN` segment (where N is 1, 2, 3, etc.) describes PIP/PBP window capabilities:
-
-```
-window1(type(PIP) area(25 25 1895 1175) max(640 480) min(10 10) window(10))
-```
-
-| Sub-field | Format | Description |
-|-----------|--------|-------------|
-| `type` | `type(PIP)` or `type(PBP)` | Window type (Picture-in-Picture or Picture-by-Picture) |
-| `area` | `area(x1 y1 x2 y2)` | Window area coordinates in pixels |
-| `max` | `max(width height)` | Maximum window dimensions |
-| `min` | `min(width height)` | Minimum window dimensions |
-| `window` | `window(id)` | Window identifier |
-
-All sub-fields are optional; missing fields default to zero values.
-
-## Error Handling
-
-```csharp
-public readonly struct ParseError
-{
-    public int Position { get; }    // Character position
-    public string Message { get; }  // Human-readable error
-}
-
-public sealed class MccsParseResult
-{
-    public VcpCapabilities Capabilities { get; }
-    public IReadOnlyList<ParseError> Errors { get; }
-    public bool HasErrors => Errors.Count > 0;
-    public bool IsValid => !HasErrors && Capabilities.SupportedVcpCodes.Count > 0;
-}
-```
-
-## Usage Example
-
-```csharp
-// Parse capabilities string
-var result = MccsCapabilitiesParser.Parse(capabilitiesString);
-
-if (result.IsValid)
-{
-    var caps = result.Capabilities;
-    Console.WriteLine($"Model: {caps.Model}");
-    Console.WriteLine($"MCCS Version: {caps.MccsVersion}");
-    Console.WriteLine($"VCP Codes: {caps.SupportedVcpCodes.Count}");
-}
-
-if (result.HasErrors)
-{
-    foreach (var error in result.Errors)
-    {
-        Console.WriteLine($"Parse error at {error.Position}: {error.Message}");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Edge Cases Handled
-
-1. **Missing outer parentheses** (Apple Cinema Display)
-2. **No spaces between hex bytes** (`010203` vs `01 02 03`)
-3. **Nested parentheses** in VCP values
-4. **Unknown segments** (logged but not fatal)
-5. **Malformed input** (partial results returned)

-# Sparse Package + WinUI 3 调查报告
-
-## 背景
-
-PowerToys 希望使用 Windows App SDK 的 Semantic Search API (`AppContentIndexer.GetOrCreateIndex`) 来实现语义搜索功能。该 API 要求应用具有 **Package Identity**。
-
-## 问题现象
-
-### 1. Semantic Search API 调用失败
-
-在 [SemanticSearchIndex.cs](../../src/common/Common.Search/SemanticSearch/SemanticSearchIndex.cs) 中调用 `AppContentIndexer.GetOrCreateIndex(_indexName)` 时，抛出 COM 异常：
-
-```
-System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.
-   at WinRT.ExceptionHelpers.<ThrowExceptionForHR>g__Throw|39_0(Int32 hr)
-   at Microsoft.Windows.AI.Search.AppContentIndexer.GetOrCreateIndex(String indexName)
-```
-
-### 2. API 要求
-
-根据 [Windows App SDK 文档](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/ai/apis/content-search)，Semantic Search API 需要：
-- Windows 11 24H2 或更高版本
-- NPU 硬件支持
-- **Package Identity**（应用需要有 MSIX 包标识）
-
-## Sparse Package 方案
-
-### 什么是 Sparse Package
-
-Sparse Package（稀疏包）是一种为非打包（unpackaged）Win32 应用提供 Package Identity 的技术，无需完整的 MSIX 打包。
-
-参考：[Grant package identity by packaging with external location](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/desktop/modernize/grant-identity-to-nonpackaged-apps)
-
-### 实现架构
-
-```
-PowerToysSparse.msix (仅包含 manifest 和图标)
-    │
-    ├── AppxManifest.xml  (声明应用和依赖)
-    ├── Square44x44Logo.png
-    ├── Square150x150Logo.png
-    └── StoreLogo.png
-
-ExternalLocation (指向实际应用目录)
-    │
-    └── ARM64\Debug\
-        ├── PowerToys.Settings.exe
-        ├── PowerToys.Settings.pri
-        └── ... (其他应用文件)
-```
-
-### 关键组件
-
-| 文件 | 位置 | 作用 |
-|------|------|------|
-| AppxManifest.xml | src/PackageIdentity/ | 定义 sparse package 的应用、依赖和能力 |
-| app.manifest | src/settings-ui/Settings.UI/ | 嵌入 exe 中，声明与 sparse package 的关联 |
-| BuildSparsePackage.ps1 | src/PackageIdentity/ | 构建和签名脚本 |
-
-### Publisher 配置
-
-**重要**：app.manifest 和 AppxManifest.xml 中的 Publisher 必须匹配。
-
-| 环境 | Publisher |
-|------|-----------|
-| 开发环境 | `CN=PowerToys Dev, O=PowerToys, L=Redmond, S=Washington, C=US` |
-| 生产环境 | `CN=Microsoft Corporation, O=Microsoft Corporation, L=Redmond, S=Washington, C=US` |
-
-BuildSparsePackage.ps1 会在本地构建时**自动**将 AppxManifest.xml 的 Publisher 替换为开发环境值，无需手动修改源码。
-
-## 当前问题：WinUI 3 + Sparse Package 崩溃
-
-### 现象
-
-当 Settings.exe（WinUI 3 应用）通过 sparse package 启动时，立即崩溃：
-
-```
-Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Markup.XamlParseException (-2144665590):
-Cannot locate resource from 'ms-appx:///Microsoft.UI.Xaml/Themes/themeresources.xaml'. [Line: 11 Position: 40]
-```
-
-### 新观察（2026-01-25）
-
-对齐 WinAppSDK 版本并恢复 app-local 运行时后，仍可复现**更早期**的崩溃（未写入 Settings 日志）：
-
-- Application Error / WER（AUMID 启动）：
-  - Faulting module: `CoreMessagingXP.dll`
-  - Exception code: `0xc0000602`
-  - Faulting module path: `C:\PowerToys\ARM64\Debug\WinUI3Apps\CoreMessagingXP.dll`
-- 暂时移除 `CoreMessagingXP.dll` 后，出现 .NET Runtime 1026：
-  - `COMException (0x80040111): ClassFactory cannot supply requested class`
-  - 发生在 `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Application.Start(...)`
-
-这说明 **“themeresources.xaml 无法解析”并不是唯一/必现的失败模式**，app-local 运行时在 sparse identity 下可能存在更底层的初始化问题。
-
-### 新观察（2026-01-25 晚间）
-
-framework-dependent + bootstrap 方向有实质进展：
-
-- 设置 `WindowsAppSDKSelfContained=false`（仅在 `UseSparseIdentity=true` 时生效）
-- 添加 `WindowsAppSDKBootstrapAutoInitializeOptions_OnPackageIdentity_NoOp=true`
-- **从 ExternalLocation 根目录与 `WinUI3Apps` 目录移除 app-local WinAppSDK 运行时文件**
-  - 尤其是 `CoreMessagingXP.dll`，否则会优先加载并导致 `0xc0000602`
-- **保留/放回 bootstrap DLL**
-  - 必需：`Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.Bootstrap.Net.dll`
-  - 建议同时保留：`Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.Bootstrap.dll`
-
-按以上处理后，Settings 通过 AUMID 启动不再崩溃，日志写入恢复。
-
-### 根本原因分析
-
-1. **ms-appx:/// URI 机制**
-   - WinUI 3 使用 `ms-appx:///` URI 加载 XAML 资源
-   - 这个 URI scheme 依赖于 MSIX 包的资源索引系统
-
-2. **框架资源位置**
-   - `themeresources.xaml` 等主题资源在 Windows App Runtime 框架包中
-   - 框架包位置：`C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.2.0-experimental4_*\`（应与 WinAppSDK 版本匹配）
-   - 资源编译在框架包的 `resources.pri` 中
-
-3. **WinAppSDK 版本/依赖不一致（更可能的原因）**
-   - 仓库当前引用 `Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK` **2.0.0-experimental4**（见 `Directory.Packages.props`）
-   - Sparse manifest 仍依赖 **Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.2.0-experimental3**（`MinVersion=0.676.658.0`）
-   - 通过包标识启动时会走框架包资源图，如果依赖版本不匹配，WinUI 资源解析可能失败，从而触发上述 `XamlParseException`
-   - 需要先对齐依赖版本，再判断是否是 sparse 本身限制
-
-4. **app-local 运行时在 sparse identity 下崩溃（已观测）**
-   - 即使对齐 WinAppSDK 版本，也可能在 `CoreMessagingXP.dll` 处崩溃（`0xc0000602`）
-   - 此时 Settings 日志不一定写入，需查看 Application Event Log
-
-4. **Sparse Package 的限制（待验证）**
-   - 之前推断 `ms-appx:///` 在 sparse package 下无法解析框架依赖资源
-   - 但在修正依赖版本之前无法下结论
-
-### 对比：WPF 应用可以工作
-
-WPF 应用（如 ImageResizer）使用 sparse package 时**可以正常工作**，因为：
-- WPF 不依赖 `ms-appx:///` URI
-- WPF 资源加载使用不同的机制
-
-## 已尝试的解决方案
-
-| 方案 | 结果 | 原因 |
-|------|------|------|
-| 复制 PRI 文件到根目录 | ❌ 失败 | `ms-appx:///` 不查找本地 PRI |
-| 复制 themeresources 到本地 | ❌ 失败 | 资源在 PRI 中，不是独立文件 |
-| 修改 Settings OutputPath 到根目录 | ❌ 失败 | 问题不在于应用资源位置 |
-| 复制框架 resources.pri | ❌ 失败 | `ms-appx:///` 机制问题 |
-| 对齐 WindowsAppRuntime 依赖版本 | ⏳ 待验证 | 先排除依赖不一致导致的资源解析失败 |
-| app-local 运行时（self-contained）+ sparse identity | ❌ 失败 | Application Error: `CoreMessagingXP.dll` / `0xc0000602` |
-| 移除 `CoreMessagingXP.dll` | ❌ 失败 | .NET Runtime 1026: `ClassFactory cannot supply requested class` |
-| framework-dependent + bootstrap + 清理 ExternalLocation 中 app-local 运行时 | ✅ 成功 | 需保留 `Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.Bootstrap*.dll` |
-| 将 resources.pri 打进 sparse MSIX | ✅ 成功 | MRT 可从包内 resources.pri 正常解析字符串 |
-
-## 当前代码状态
-
-### 已修正（建议保留）
-
-1. **Settings.UI 输出路径**
-   - 文件：`src/settings-ui/Settings.UI/PowerToys.Settings.csproj`
-   - 修改：恢复为 `WinUI3Apps`（避免破坏 runner/installer/脚本路径假设）
-
-2. **AppxManifest.xml 的 Executable 路径**
-   - 文件：`src/PackageIdentity/AppxManifest.xml`
-   - 修改：恢复为 `WinUI3Apps\PowerToys.Settings.exe`
-
-3. **AppxManifest.xml 的 WindowsAppRuntime 依赖**
-   - 文件：`src/PackageIdentity/AppxManifest.xml`
-   - 修改：更新为 `Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.2.0-experimental4`，`MinVersion=0.738.2207.0`（与 `Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK.Runtime` 2.0.0-experimental4 对齐）
-
-### 未修改（源码中保持生产配置）
-
-- AppxManifest.xml 的 Publisher 保持 Microsoft Corporation（脚本会自动替换）
-
-### 验证步骤（建议）
-
-1. **确认 WindowsAppRuntime 版本已安装**
-   - `Get-AppxPackage -Name Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.2.0-experimental4`
-   - 如缺失，可从 NuGet 缓存安装：  
-     `Add-AppxPackage -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\.nuget\packages\microsoft.windowsappsdk.runtime\2.0.0-experimental4\tools\MSIX\win10-x64\Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.2.0-experimental4.msix"`
-
-2. **构建并注册 sparse package**
-   - `.\src\PackageIdentity\BuildSparsePackage.ps1 -Platform x64 -Configuration Debug`
-   - `Add-AppxPackage -Path ".\x64\Debug\PowerToysSparse.msix" -ExternalLocation ".\x64\Debug"`
-
-3. **用包标识启动 Settings**
-   - AUMID：`Microsoft.PowerToys.SparseApp!PowerToys.SettingsUI`
-   - 预期：不再触发 `themeresources.xaml` 解析错误
-
-## 可能的解决方向
-
-### 方向 1：等待 Windows App SDK 修复
-
-- 可能是 Windows App SDK 的已知限制或 bug
-- 需要在 GitHub issues 中搜索或提交新 issue
-
-### 方向 2：使用完整 MSIX 打包
-
-- 不使用 sparse package，而是完整打包
-- 影响：改变部署模型，增加复杂性
-
-### 方向 3：创建非 WinUI 3 的 Helper 进程
-
-- 创建一个 Console App 或 WPF App 作为 helper
-- 该 helper 具有 package identity，专门调用 Semantic Search API
-- Settings 通过 IPC 与 helper 通信
-- 优点：不影响现有 Settings 架构
-
-### 方向 4：进一步调查 ms-appx:/// 解析
-
-- 研究是否有配置选项让 sparse package 正确解析框架资源
-- 可能需要深入 Windows App SDK 源码或联系微软
-
-### 方向 5：切换为 framework-dependent + Bootstrap（待验证）
-
-- 设置 `WindowsAppSDKSelfContained=false` 并**重新构建** Settings
-- 确保外部目录不再携带 app-local WinAppSDK 运行时
-- 让 `Bootstrap.TryInitialize(...)` 生效，走框架包动态依赖
-
-## 可复现的工作流（已验证 2026-01-25）
-
-目标：Settings 使用 sparse identity 启动，WinUI 资源/字符串正常加载。
-
-### 1) 构建 Settings（framework-dependent + bootstrap no-op）
-
-在 `PowerToys.Settings.csproj` 中添加（仅在 `UseSparseIdentity=true` 时生效）：
-
-```
-<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(UseSparseIdentity)'=='true'">
-  <WindowsAppSDKSelfContained>false</WindowsAppSDKSelfContained>
-  <WindowsAppSDKBootstrapAutoInitializeOptions_OnPackageIdentity_NoOp>true</WindowsAppSDKBootstrapAutoInitializeOptions_OnPackageIdentity_NoOp>
-</PropertyGroup>
-```
-
-构建：
-
-```
-MSBuild.exe src\settings-ui\Settings.UI\PowerToys.Settings.csproj /p:Platform=ARM64 /p:Configuration=Debug /p:UseSparseIdentity=true /m:1 /p:CL_MPCount=1 /nodeReuse:false
-```
-
-### 2) 清理 ExternalLocation 的 app-local WinAppSDK 运行时
-
-**必须移除** app-local WinAppSDK 运行时文件，否则会优先加载并崩溃（`CoreMessagingXP.dll` / `0xc0000602`）。
-
-需清理的目录：
-- `ARM64\Debug`（ExternalLocation 根）
-- `ARM64\Debug\WinUI3Apps`
-
-建议只移除 app-local WinAppSDK 相关文件（保留业务 DLL）。
-
-**保留/放回 bootstrap DLL（必要）：**
-- `Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.Bootstrap.dll`
-- `Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.Bootstrap.Net.dll`
-
-### 3) 生成与包名一致的 resources.pri
-
-关键点：resources.pri 的 **ResourceMap name 必须与包名一致**。
-
-使用 `makepri.exe new` 生成，确保 `/mn` 指向 sparse 包的 `AppxManifest.xml`：
-
-```
-makepri.exe new ^
-  /pr C:\PowerToys\src\settings-ui\Settings.UI ^
-  /cf C:\PowerToys\src\settings-ui\Settings.UI\obj\ARM64\Debug\priconfig.xml ^
-  /mn C:\PowerToys\src\PackageIdentity\AppxManifest.xml ^
-  /of C:\PowerToys\ARM64\Debug\resources.pri ^
-  /o
-```
-
-### 4) 将 resources.pri 打进 sparse MSIX
-
-在 `BuildSparsePackage.ps1` 中把 `resources.pri` 放入 staging（脚本已更新）：
-- 优先取 `ARM64\Debug\resources.pri`
-- 如果不存在则回退 `ARM64\Debug\WinUI3Apps\PowerToys.Settings.pri`
-
-重新打包：
-
-```
-.\src\PackageIdentity\BuildSparsePackage.ps1 -Platform ARM64 -Configuration Debug
-```
-
-### 5) 重新注册 sparse 包（如需先卸载）
-
-如果因为内容变更被阻止，先卸载再安装：
-
-```
-Get-AppxPackage -Name Microsoft.PowerToys.SparseApp | Remove-AppxPackage
-Add-AppxPackage -Path .\ARM64\Debug\PowerToysSparse.msix -ExternalLocation .\ARM64\Debug -ForceApplicationShutdown
-```
-
-### 6) 启动 Settings（验证）
-
-```
-Start-Process "shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.PowerToys.SparseApp_djwsxzxb4ksa8!PowerToys.SettingsUI"
-```
-
-验证要点：
-- Settings 正常启动，UI 文本显示
-- 日志正常写入：`%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\Settings\Logs\0.0.1.0\`
-
-### 备注（可选）
-
-如果出现 `ms-appx:///CommunityToolkit...` 资源缺失，可将对应的 `.pri`（从 NuGet 缓存）复制到 `ARM64\Debug\WinUI3Apps`，但在 **resources.pri 已正确打包** 后通常不再需要。
-
-## 待确认事项
-
-1. [ ] WinUI 3 + Sparse Package 的兼容性问题是否有官方文档说明？
-2. [ ] 是否有其他项目成功实现 WinUI 3 + Sparse Package？
-3. [ ] Windows App SDK GitHub 上是否有相关 issue？
-4. [ ] 修正依赖版本后，Settings 是否能在 sparse identity 下正常启动？
-5. [ ] framework-dependent（Bootstrap）方式是否能在 sparse identity 下启动？

-# Common.Search Library Specification
-
-## Overview
-
-本文档描述 `Common.Search` 库的重构设计，目标是提供一个通用的、可插拔的搜索框架，支持多种搜索引擎实现（Fuzzy Match、Semantic Search 等）。
-
-## Goals
-
-1. **解耦** - 搜索引擎与数据源完全解耦
-2. **可插拔** - 支持替换不同的搜索引擎实现
-3. **泛型** - 不绑定特定业务类型（如 SettingEntry）
-4. **可组合** - 支持多引擎组合（即时 Fuzzy + 延迟 Semantic）
-5. **可复用** - 可被 PowerToys 多个模块使用
-

-## Core Interfaces
-
-### ISearchable
-
-定义可搜索内容的最小契约。
-
-```csharp
-namespace Common.Search;
-
-/// <summary>
-/// Defines a searchable item that can be indexed and searched.
-/// </summary>
-public interface ISearchable
-{
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Gets the unique identifier for this item.
-    /// </summary>
-    string Id { get; }
-
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Gets the primary searchable text (e.g., title, header).
-    /// </summary>
-    string SearchableText { get; }
-
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Gets optional secondary searchable text (e.g., description).
-    /// Returns null if not available.
-    /// </summary>
-    string? SecondarySearchableText { get; }
-}
-```
-
-### ISearchEngine&lt;T&gt;
-
-搜索引擎核心接口。
-
-```csharp
-namespace Common.Search;
-
-/// <summary>
-/// Defines a pluggable search engine that can index and search items.
-/// </summary>
-/// <typeparam name="T">The type of items to search, must implement ISearchable.</typeparam>
-public interface ISearchEngine<T> : IDisposable
-    where T : ISearchable
-{
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Gets a value indicating whether the engine is ready to search.
-    /// </summary>
-    bool IsReady { get; }
-
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Gets the engine capabilities.
-    /// </summary>
-    SearchEngineCapabilities Capabilities { get; }
-
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Initializes the search engine.
-    /// </summary>
-    Task InitializeAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
-
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Indexes a single item.
-    /// </summary>
-    Task IndexAsync(T item, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
-
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Indexes multiple items in batch.
-    /// </summary>
-    Task IndexBatchAsync(IEnumerable<T> items, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
-
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Removes an item from the index by its ID.

-    Task<IReadOnlyList<SearchResult<T>>> SearchAsync(
-        string query,
-        SearchOptions? options = null,
-        CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
-}
-```
-
-### SearchResult&lt;T&gt;
-
-统一的搜索结果模型。
-
-```csharp
-namespace Common.Search;
-
-/// <summary>
-/// Represents a search result with the matched item and scoring information.
-/// </summary>
-public sealed class SearchResult<T>
-    where T : ISearchable
-{
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Gets the matched item.
-    /// </summary>
-    public required T Item { get; init; }
-
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Gets the relevance score (higher is more relevant).
-    /// </summary>
-    public required double Score { get; init; }
-
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Gets the type of match that produced this result.
-    /// </summary>
-    public required SearchMatchKind MatchKind { get; init; }
-
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Gets the match details for highlighting (optional).
-    /// </summary>
-    public IReadOnlyList<MatchSpan>? MatchSpans { get; init; }
-}
-
-/// <summary>
-/// Represents a span of matched text for highlighting.
-/// </summary>
-public readonly record struct MatchSpan(int Start, int Length);
-
-/// <summary>
-/// Specifies the kind of match that produced a search result.
-/// </summary>
-public enum SearchMatchKind
-{
-    /// <summary>Exact text match.</summary>
-    Exact,
-
-    /// <summary>Fuzzy/approximate text match.</summary>
-    Fuzzy,
-
-    /// <summary>Semantic/AI-based match.</summary>
-    Semantic,
-
-    /// <summary>Combined match from multiple engines.</summary>
-    Composite,
-}
-```
-
-### SearchOptions
-
-搜索配置选项。
-
-```csharp
-namespace Common.Search;
-
-/// <summary>
-/// Options for configuring search behavior.
-/// </summary>
-public sealed class SearchOptions
-{
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Gets or sets the maximum number of results to return.
-    /// Default is 20.
-    /// </summary>
-    public int MaxResults { get; set; } = 20;
-
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Gets or sets the minimum score threshold (0.0 to 1.0).
-    /// Results below this score are filtered out.
-    /// Default is 0.0 (no filtering).
-    /// </summary>
-    public double MinScore { get; set; } = 0.0;
-
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Gets or sets the language hint for the search (e.g., "en-US").
-    /// </summary>
-    public string? Language { get; set; }
-
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Gets or sets a value indicating whether to include match spans for highlighting.
-    /// Default is false.
-    /// </summary>
-    public bool IncludeMatchSpans { get; set; } = false;
-}
-```
-
-### SearchEngineCapabilities
-
-引擎能力描述。
-
-```csharp
-namespace Common.Search;
-
-/// <summary>
-/// Describes the capabilities of a search engine.
-/// </summary>
-public sealed class SearchEngineCapabilities
-{
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Gets a value indicating whether the engine supports fuzzy matching.
-    /// </summary>
-    public bool SupportsFuzzyMatch { get; init; }
-
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Gets a value indicating whether the engine supports semantic search.
-    /// </summary>
-    public bool SupportsSemanticSearch { get; init; }
-
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Gets a value indicating whether the engine persists the index to disk.
-    /// </summary>
-    public bool PersistsIndex { get; init; }
-
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Gets a value indicating whether the engine supports incremental indexing.
-    /// </summary>
-    public bool SupportsIncrementalIndex { get; init; }
-
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Gets a value indicating whether the engine supports match span highlighting.
-    /// </summary>
-    public bool SupportsMatchSpans { get; init; }
-}
-```
-
-## Implementations
-
-### FuzzSearchEngine&lt;T&gt;
-
-基于现有 StringMatcher 的内存搜索引擎。
-
-**特点：**
-- 纯内存，无持久化
-- 即时响应（毫秒级）
-- 支持 match spans 高亮
-- 基于字符的模糊匹配
-
-**Capabilities：**
-```csharp
-new SearchEngineCapabilities
-{
-    SupportsFuzzyMatch = true,
-    SupportsSemanticSearch = false,
-    PersistsIndex = false,
-    SupportsIncrementalIndex = true,
-    SupportsMatchSpans = true,
-}
-```
-
-### SemanticSearchEngine
-
-基于 Windows App SDK AI Search API 的语义搜索引擎。
-
-**特点：**
-- 系统管理的持久化索引
-- AI 驱动的语义理解
-- 需要模型初始化（可能较慢）
-- 可能不可用（依赖系统支持）
-
-**Capabilities：**
-```csharp
-new SearchEngineCapabilities
-{
-    SupportsFuzzyMatch = true,  // API 同时提供 lexical + semantic
-    SupportsSemanticSearch = true,
-    PersistsIndex = true,
-    SupportsIncrementalIndex = true,
-    SupportsMatchSpans = false,  // API 不返回详细位置
-}
-```
-
-**注意：** SemanticSearchEngine 不是泛型的，因为它需要将内容转换为字符串存入系统索引。实现时通过 `ISearchable` 接口提取文本。
-
-### CompositeSearchEngine&lt;T&gt;
-
-组合多个搜索引擎，支持 fallback 和结果合并。
-
-```csharp
-namespace Common.Search;
-
-/// <summary>
-/// A search engine that combines results from multiple engines.
-/// </summary>
-public sealed class CompositeSearchEngine<T> : ISearchEngine<T>
-    where T : ISearchable
-{
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Strategy for combining results from multiple engines.
-    /// </summary>
-    public enum CombineStrategy
-    {
-        /// <summary>Use first ready engine only.</summary>
-        FirstReady,
-
-        /// <summary>Merge results from all ready engines.</summary>
-        MergeAll,
-
-        /// <summary>Use primary, fallback to secondary if primary not ready.</summary>
-        PrimaryWithFallback,
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**典型用法：** Fuzzy 作为即时响应，Semantic 准备好后增强结果。

-## Consumer Usage (Settings.UI)
-
-### SettingEntry 实现 ISearchable
-
-```csharp
-// Settings.UI.Library/SettingEntry.cs
-public struct SettingEntry : ISearchable
-{
-    // Existing properties...
-
-    // ISearchable implementation
-    public string Id => ElementUid ?? $"{PageTypeName}|{ElementName}";
-    public string SearchableText => Header ?? string.Empty;
-    public string? SecondarySearchableText => Description;
-}
-```
-
-### SettingsSearchService
-
-```csharp
-// Settings.UI/Services/SettingsSearchService.cs
-public sealed class SettingsSearchService : IDisposable
-{
-    private readonly ISearchEngine<SettingEntry> _engine;
-
-    public SettingsSearchService(ISearchEngine<SettingEntry> engine)
-    {
-        _engine = engine;
-    }
-
-    public async Task InitializeAsync(IEnumerable<SettingEntry> entries)
-    {
-        await _engine.InitializeAsync();
-        await _engine.IndexBatchAsync(entries);
-    }
-
-    public async Task<List<SettingEntry>> SearchAsync(string query, CancellationToken ct = default)
-    {
-        var results = await _engine.SearchAsync(query, cancellationToken: ct);
-        return results.Select(r => r.Item).ToList();
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Startup Configuration
-
-```csharp
-// Option 1: Fuzzy only (default, immediate)
-var engine = new FuzzSearchEngine<SettingEntry>();
-
-// Option 2: Semantic only (requires Windows AI)
-var engine = new SemanticSearchAdapter<SettingEntry>("PowerToysSettings");
-
-// Option 3: Composite (best of both worlds)
-var engine = new CompositeSearchEngine<SettingEntry>(
-    primary: new SemanticSearchAdapter<SettingEntry>("PowerToysSettings"),
-    fallback: new FuzzSearchEngine<SettingEntry>(),
-    strategy: CombineStrategy.PrimaryWithFallback
-);
-
-var searchService = new SettingsSearchService(engine);
-await searchService.InitializeAsync(settingEntries);
-```
-
-## Migration Plan
-
-### Phase 1: Core Abstractions
-1. 创建 `ISearchable`, `ISearchEngine<T>`, `SearchResult<T>` 等核心接口
-2. 保持现有 FuzzSearch 代码不变
-
-### Phase 2: FuzzSearchEngine&lt;T&gt;
-1. 创建泛型 `FuzzSearchEngine<T>` 实现
-2. 内部复用现有 `StringMatcher`
-
-### Phase 3: SemanticSearchEngine
-1. 完善现有 `SemanticSearchEngine` 实现
-2. 创建 `SemanticSearchAdapter<T>` 桥接泛型接口
-
-### Phase 4: Settings.UI Migration
-1. `SettingEntry` 实现 `ISearchable`
-2. 创建 `SettingsSearchService`
-3. 迁移 `SearchIndexService` 到新架构
-4. 保持 API 兼容，逐步废弃旧方法
-
-### Phase 5: CompositeSearchEngine (Optional)
-1. 实现组合引擎
-2. 支持 Fuzzy + Semantic 混合搜索
-
-## Open Questions
-
-1. **是否需要支持图片搜索？** 当前 SemanticSearchEngine 支持 `IndexImage`，但 `ISearchable` 只有文本。如果需要图片，可能需要 `IImageSearchable` 扩展。
-
-2. **结果去重策略？** CompositeEngine 合并结果时，同一个 Item 可能被多个引擎匹配，如何去重和合并分数？
-
-3. **异步 vs 同步？** FuzzSearch 完全可以同步执行，但接口统一用 `Task` 是否合适？考虑提供同步重载？
-
-4. **索引更新策略？** 当 Settings 内容变化时（例如用户切换语言），如何高效更新索引？
