Update code.txt

- Common.Dotnet.CsWinRT.props: opt out of CsWinRT 2.2 IIDOptimizer which exits with code -1 on .NET 10 (MSB3073). Add DeleteStaleCsWinRTRspAfterPrepare second-pass target so projects that override CsWinRTGeneratedFilesDir to OutDir (e.g. PowerToys.Settings, PowerAccent.Common.UnitTests) also have stale cswinrt.rsp deleted after the value is resolved.

- PowerRenameUI.vcxproj: add Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK.Foundation PackageReference and FixWinAppSDKAutoInitializer target (same pattern as runner.vcxproj) so WindowsAppRuntimeAutoInitializer.cpp is only added once, eliminating MSB8027 and LNK4042.

-# Advanced Paste – Phi Silica local testing
-
-How to build, register, and test **Phi Silica** in **Advanced Paste (AP)** on a dev machine,
-plus the few things that actually break it.
-
-## How it fits together
-
-AP ships as an **unpackaged, self-contained WinUI 3 exe** (`PowerToys.AdvancedPaste.exe`).
-The Windows AI `LanguageModel` (Phi Silica) API is a **Limited Access Feature (LAF)**. For it
-to work, all of these must line up:
-
-1. **Package identity** — AP runs with identity granted by the sparse MSIX
-   `Microsoft.PowerToys.SparseApp`.
-2. **Matching LAF creds** — the token/attestation baked into the exe match the registered
-   sparse package's publisher.
-3. **AI metadata deployed** — the `Microsoft.Windows.AI*.winmd` files ship next to the exe;
-   the AI runtime resolves them **at runtime**.
-4. **Model ready** — supported hardware and the on-device model downloaded
-   (`GetReadyState() == Ready`).
-
-Two identities — the baked token must match the registered package's publisher:
-
-| Build | Publisher Id | LAF creds |
-|-------|--------------|-----------|
-| **Dev** | `djwsxzxb4ksa8` | dev default in [`src/PhiSilicaLaf.props`](../../../src/PhiSilicaLaf.props) |
-| **Prod** | `8wekyb3d8bbwe` | secret, injected only by `.pipelines/v2/release.yml` |
-
-Non-secret pairing check: the exe's baked **Attestation** must equal the registered package's
-**PublisherId**.
-
-## Build + register (dev loop)
-
-```powershell
-$repo = "X:\GitHub\PowerToys"; $Plat = "ARM64"; $Cfg = "Debug"   # or x64 / Release
-
-# Build AP only (C#; reuses existing C++ outputs):
-dotnet restore "$repo\src\modules\AdvancedPaste\AdvancedPaste\AdvancedPaste.csproj" /p:Platform=$Plat
-& "$repo\tools\build\build.cmd" -Path "$repo\src\modules\AdvancedPaste\AdvancedPaste" `
-    -Platform $Plat -Configuration $Cfg /p:BuildProjectReferences=false
-
-# Register the dev sparse package (creates + trusts a dev cert, grants identity):
-pwsh -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "$repo\src\PackageIdentity\BuildSparsePackage.ps1" `
-    -Platform $Plat -Configuration $Cfg -DevRegister
-# Expect: PublisherId djwsxzxb4ksa8, IsDevelopmentMode True
-```
-
-## Check the API
-
-`PowerToys.AdvancedPaste.exe` is a **GUI-subsystem** app — run directly in a console it prints
-nothing and returns no exit code. **Redirect** stdout/stderr and wait:
-
-```powershell
-$exe = "$repo\$Plat\$Cfg\WinUI3Apps\PowerToys.AdvancedPaste.exe"
-$o = "$env:TEMP\ap.out"; $e = "$env:TEMP\ap.err"
-$p = Start-Process $exe '--check-phi-silica' -Wait -PassThru -WindowStyle Hidden `
-        -RedirectStandardOutput $o -RedirectStandardError $e
-"exit=$($p.ExitCode)  stdout=$((Get-Content $o -Raw).Trim())"
-Get-Content $e -Raw   # stderr: [phi-silica] LAF unlock status: <…>; ReadyState: <…>
-```
-
-| `--check-phi-silica` | `--prepare-phi-silica` (downloads the model) |
-|----------------------|----------------------------------------------|
-| `0` Available · `1` NotReady · `2` NotSupported / unlock failed | `0` Ready · `1` Failed · `2` NotSupported |
-
-`--check` only reads state; use `--prepare` to trigger the model download (`EnsureReadyAsync`).
-On failure it prints the `HRESULT` to stderr.
-
-Confirm the running AP has identity:
-
-```powershell
-$apPid = (Get-Process PowerToys.AdvancedPaste -EA SilentlyContinue | Select-Object -First 1).Id
-if ($apPid) { & "$repo\src\PackageIdentity\Check-ProcessIdentity.ps1" -ProcessId $apPid }
-# Expect a PFN ending in the publisher id that matches the baked attestation
-```
-
-## What actually breaks it
-
-- **Missing `.winmd` (most important).** The Windows AI runtime resolves
-  `Microsoft.Windows.AI*.winmd` from the app folder at runtime. If they aren't deployed,
-  `GetReadyState()` returns `NotReady` and `EnsureReadyAsync()` fails with
-  `RO_E_METADATA_NAME_NOT_FOUND` (`0x8000000F`) — even though identity, token, and the AI DLLs
-  are all correct. The build emits these winmd into `WinUI3Apps\`; the **installer must harvest
-  them** (`*.winmd` is in the inclusion list of
-  [`generateAllFileComponents.ps1`](../../../installer/PowerToysSetupVNext/generateAllFileComponents.ps1)).
-  Classic symptom: "works from the build output but not from the installer" → check that the
-  installed `WinUI3Apps\` contains `Microsoft.Windows.AI*.winmd`.
-- **Dev/prod mismatch.** A dev-cred exe running against a prod sparse package (or vice versa)
-  makes the LAF unlock silently return `Unavailable`. Keep the exe and the registered package
-  the same flavor, and verify with the attestation == publisherId check above.
-- **Forgot to redirect.** `--check-phi-silica` in a console prints nothing — that's the
-  GUI-subsystem quirk, not a result.
-
-## Cleanup
-
-```powershell
-pwsh -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "$repo\src\PackageIdentity\BuildSparsePackage.ps1" -Unregister
-```
-
-⚠️ This removes any `Microsoft.PowerToys.SparseApp` registration, **including a prod one** from
-an installer — reinstall/repair PowerToys to restore it.

 ## Debugging
 
-Advanced Paste is an unpackaged, self-contained WinUI 3 app (`PowerToys.AdvancedPaste.exe`). To call Windows AI APIs (Phi Silica / `Microsoft.Windows.AI.Text.LanguageModel`) it acquires **package identity** at runtime via a shared sparse MSIX package (`Microsoft.PowerToys.SparseApp`).
-
-### Running and attaching the debugger
-
-1. Set the **Runner** project (`src/runner`) as the startup project in Visual Studio.
-2. Launch the Runner (F5). This starts the PowerToys tray icon and loads all module interfaces.
-3. Open Settings (right-click tray icon → Settings) and enable the **Advanced Paste** module if it isn't already. The module launches `PowerToys.AdvancedPaste.exe` in the background immediately.
-4. In Visual Studio, go to **Debug → Attach to Process** (`Ctrl+Alt+P`) and attach to `PowerToys.AdvancedPaste.exe` (select **Managed (.NET Core)** debugger).
-
-Alternatively, use the VS Code launch configuration **"Run AdvancedPaste"** from [.vscode/launch.json](/.vscode/launch.json) to launch the exe directly — but note that without the Runner, IPC and hotkeys won't work.
-
-### Sparse package identity (local development)
-
-#### Why is this needed?
-
-- The `LanguageModel` API requires a Limited Access Feature (LAF) unlock, which only succeeds when the calling process has a matching package identity.
-- Advanced Paste is an unpackaged, self-contained WinUI 3 app. The sparse package grants it identity without converting it to a full MSIX.
-- The csproj uses `<ProjectPriFileName>PowerToys.AdvancedPaste.pri</ProjectPriFileName>` (matching the convention of other WinUI3 apps like ImageResizer). This requires WindowsAppSDK Foundation >= 2.0.22 ([PR #6376](https://github.com/microsoft/WindowsAppSDK/pull/6376)) which fixes MRT PRI lookup under sparse identity so `Application.LoadComponent` resolves custom-named PRI files instead of hard-coding `resources.pri`.
-
-#### One-step dev setup
-
-```powershell
-pwsh src/PackageIdentity/BuildSparsePackage.ps1 -Platform ARM64 -Configuration Debug -DevRegister
-```
-
-`-DevRegister`:
-1. Generates a dev certificate under `src/PackageIdentity/.user/` (first run only).
-2. Auto-imports that certificate into `CurrentUser\TrustedPeople` and `CurrentUser\Root` so the OS grants sparse identity to AP (without trust, `GetPackageFamilyName` returns `APPMODEL_ERROR_NO_PACKAGE` and LAF unlock silently fails).
-3. Removes any prior registration.
-4. Rewrites the publisher in a temp copy of `AppxManifest.xml` to match the dev cert subject.
-5. Registers via `Add-AppxPackage -Register … -ExternalLocation X:\…\<Platform>\<Config>\WinUI3Apps`.
-
-After registration verify:
-
-```powershell
-$pkg = Get-AppxPackage -Name '*SparseApp*'
-$pkg.PackageFamilyName    # Microsoft.PowerToys.SparseApp_<PublisherId>
-$pkg.PublisherId          # djwsxzxb4ksa8
-$pkg.IsDevelopmentMode    # True
-```
-
-Confirm AP picks up sparse identity at runtime:
-
-```powershell
-& 'ARM64\Debug\WinUI3Apps\PowerToys.AdvancedPaste.exe' --check-phi-silica
-# Exit 0 = Available, 1 = NotReady, 2 = NotSupported
-```
-
-Re-register after rebuilding AP, changing `src/PackageIdentity/AppxManifest.xml`, or switching platforms/configurations by re-running the same command. Unregister with `-Unregister`.
-
-#### Troubleshooting
-
-| Problem | Cause | Fix |
-|---------|-------|-----|
-| `GetPackageFamilyName` returns `APPMODEL_ERROR_NO_PACKAGE` (15700) at runtime; LAF unlock returns `Unavailable` | Dev certificate not trusted (or sparse package not registered) | Re-run `BuildSparsePackage.ps1 -DevRegister` — auto-imports the cert into `TrustedPeople` and `Root`. |
-| `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.dll` crash with `0xC000027B` (class-not-registered) on AP or Settings startup | `<Application>` `Executable` path in `src/PackageIdentity/AppxManifest.xml` does not resolve under the registered `ExternalLocation` (`<Config>\WinUI3Apps\`) | Confirm every `Executable` is relative to `WinUI3Apps\` (per #47177) and the file exists under the build output. |
-| AP launches but never shows a window when triggered via hotkey | Runner's pipe-server wait timed out before AP's cold-start finished bootstrapping WinAppSDK + DI host | Already mitigated by the 15 s pipe timeout in `AdvancedPasteProcessManager.cpp`; warm-start launches connect in well under 1 s. |
-| `XamlParseException` / `ms-appx:///Microsoft.UI.Xaml/Themes/…` not found | WindowsAppSDK Foundation < 2.0.22; MRT can't resolve custom PRI name under sparse identity | Ensure `Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK.Foundation` >= 2.0.22 in `Directory.Packages.props`. |
-
-### How Settings UI checks Phi Silica availability
-
-Settings UI does not have sparse package identity. To check whether Phi Silica is available, it launches Advanced Paste as a short-lived subprocess:
-
-```
-PowerToys.AdvancedPaste.exe --check-phi-silica
-```
-
-`Program.Main` recognizes this flag, calls `PhiSilicaLafHelper.TryUnlock()` + `LanguageModel.GetReadyState()`, prints one of `Available` / `NotReady` / `NotSupported` to stdout, and exits with the matching code (0/1/2). Settings reads stdout with a 10 s wait. Because each call is a fresh process, transient `Unavailable` results are not cached across checks.
