Fix ImageResizer build artifacts and installer issues

Migrated ESRP signing config to reference only WinUI3Apps paths for ImageResizer files, avoiding root-level artifacts. Added a workaround in generateAllFileComponents.ps1 to strip incomplete ImageResizer build outputs caused by Exe→WinExe ProjectReference. Updated migration notes to document removal of satellite assembly references and explain the root cause and temporary fix for phantom build artifacts. Recommend refactoring to use a shared Library project for CLI dependencies.

+# CLAUDE.md
+
+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+**Microsoft PowerToys** is a collection of utilities for power users to tune and streamline their Windows experience. The codebase includes 25+ utilities like FancyZones, PowerRename, Image Resizer, Command Palette, Keyboard Manager, and more.
+
+## Build Commands
+
+### Prerequisites
+- Visual Studio 2022 17.4+
+- Windows 10 1803+ (April 2018 Update or newer)
+- Initialize submodules once: `git submodule update --init --recursive`
+- Run automated setup: `.\tools\build\setup-dev-environment.ps1`
+
+### Common Build Commands
+
+| Task | Command |
+|------|---------|
+| First build / NuGet restore | `tools\build\build-essentials.cmd` |
+| Build current folder | `tools\build\build.cmd` |
+| Build with options | `.\tools\build\build.ps1 -Platform x64 -Configuration Release` |
+| Build full solution | Open `PowerToys.slnx` in VS and build |
+| Build installer (Release only) | `.\tools\build\build-installer.ps1 -Platform x64 -Configuration Release` |
+
+**Important Build Rules:**
+- Exit code 0 = success; non-zero = failure
+- On failure, check `build.<config>.<platform>.errors.log` next to the solution/project
+- For first build or missing NuGet packages, run `build-essentials.cmd` first
+- Use one terminal per operation (build → test). Don't switch terminals mid-flow
+- After making changes, `cd` to the project folder (`.csproj`/`.vcxproj`) before building
+
+### VS Code Tasks
+- Use `PT: Build Essentials (quick)` for fast runner + settings build
+- Use `PT: Build (quick)` to build the current directory
+
+## Testing
+
+### Finding Tests
+- Test projects follow the pattern: `<Product>*UnitTests`, `<Product>*UITests`, or `<Product>*FuzzTests`
+- Located as sibling folders or 1-2 levels up from product code
+- Examples: `src/modules/imageresizer/tests/ImageResizer.UnitTests.csproj`
+
+### Running Tests
+1. **Build the test project first**, wait for exit code 0
+2. Run via VS Test Explorer (`Ctrl+E, T`) or `vstest.console.exe` with filters
+3. **Avoid `dotnet test`** - use VS Test Explorer or vstest.console.exe
+
+### Test Types
+- **Unit Tests**: Standard dev environment, no extra setup
+- **UI Tests**: Require WinAppDriver v1.2.1 and Developer Mode ([download](https://github.com/microsoft/WinAppDriver/releases/tag/v1.2.1))
+- **Fuzz Tests**: OneFuzz + .NET 8, required for modules handling file I/O or user input
+
+### Test Discipline
+- Add or adjust tests when changing behavior
+- New modules handling file I/O or user input **must** implement fuzzing tests
+- State why tests were skipped if applicable (e.g., comment-only change)
+

+installer/            # WiX-based installer projects
+```
+
+### Module Types
+
+1. **Simple Modules** (e.g., Mouse Pointer Crosshairs, Find My Mouse)
+   - Entirely contained in the module interface DLL
+   - No external application
+
+2. **External Application Launchers** (e.g., Color Picker)
+   - Start a separate application (often WPF/WinUI)
+   - Handle hotkey events
+   - Communicate via named pipes or IPC
+
+3. **Context Handler Modules** (e.g., PowerRename, Image Resizer)
+   - Shell extensions for File Explorer
+   - Add right-click context menu entries
+
+4. **Registry-based Modules** (e.g., Power Preview)
+   - Register preview handlers and thumbnail providers
+   - Modify registry during enable/disable
+
+### Module Interface
+
+All PowerToys modules implement a standardized interface (`src/modules/interface/`) that defines:
+- Hotkey structure
+- Name and key for the utility
+- Enable/disable functionality
+- Configuration management
+- Telemetry settings
+- GPO configuration
+
+### Settings System
+
+- **Runner** (`src/runner/`) loads modules and manages their lifecycle
+- **Settings UI** (`src/settings-ui/`) is a separate process using WinUI 3
+- Communication via **named pipes** (IPC) between runner and settings
+- Settings stored as JSON files in `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\`
+- Schema migrations must maintain backward compatibility
+
+**Important**: When modifying IPC contracts or JSON schemas:
+- Update both runner and settings-ui
+- Maintain backward compatibility
+- See [doc/devdocs/core/settings/runner-ipc.md](doc/devdocs/core/settings/runner-ipc.md)
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+### Making Changes
+
+1. **Before starting**: Ensure there's an issue to track the work
+2. **Read the file first**: Always use Read tool before modifying files
+3. **Follow existing patterns**: Match the style and structure of surrounding code
+4. **Atomic PRs**: One logical change per PR, no drive-by refactors
+5. **Build discipline**:
+   - `cd` to project folder after making changes
+   - Build using `tools/build/build.cmd`
+   - Wait for exit code 0 before proceeding
+6. **Test changes**: Build and run tests for affected modules
+7. **Update signing**: Add new DLLs/executables to `.pipelines/ESRPSigning_core.json`
+
+### CLI Tools
+
+Several modules now have CLI support (FancyZones, Image Resizer, File Locksmith):
+- Use **System.CommandLine** library for argument parsing
+- Follow `--kebab-case` for long options, `-x` for short
+- Exit codes: 0 = success, non-zero = failure
+- Log to both console and file using `ManagedCommon.Logger`
+- Reference: [doc/devdocs/cli-conventions.md](doc/devdocs/cli-conventions.md)
+
+### Localization
+
+- Localization is handled exclusively by internal Microsoft team
+- **Do not** submit PRs for localization changes
+- File issues for localization bugs instead
+
+## Code Style and Conventions
+
+### Style Enforcement
+
+- **C#**: Use `src/.editorconfig` and StyleCop.Analyzers (enforced in build)
+- **C++**: Use `.clang-format` (press `Ctrl+K Ctrl+D` in VS to format)
+- **XAML**: Use XamlStyler (`.\.pipelines\applyXamlStyling.ps1 -Main`)
+
+### Formatting
+
+- Follow existing patterns in the file you're editing
+- For new code, follow Modern C++ practices and [C++ Core Guidelines](https://github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines)
+- C++ formatting script: `src/codeAnalysis/format_sources.ps1`
+
+### Logging
+
+- **C++**: Use spdlog (SPD logs) via `src/common/logger/`
+- **C#**: Use `ManagedCommon.Logger`
+- **Critical**: Keep hot paths quiet (no logging in hooks or tight loops)
+- Detailed guidance: [doc/devdocs/development/logging.md](doc/devdocs/development/logging.md)
+
+### Dependencies
+
+- MIT license generally acceptable; other licenses require PM approval
+- All external packages must be listed in `NOTICE.md`
+- Update `Directory.Packages.props` for NuGet packages (centralized package management)
+- Sign new DLLs by adding to signing config
+
+## Critical Areas Requiring Extra Care
+
+| Area | Concern | Reference |
+|------|---------|-----------|
+| `src/common/` | ABI breaks affect all modules | [.github/instructions/common-libraries.instructions.md](.github/instructions/common-libraries.instructions.md) |
+| `src/runner/`, `src/settings-ui/` | IPC contracts, schema migrations | [.github/instructions/runner-settings-ui.instructions.md](.github/instructions/runner-settings-ui.instructions.md) |
+| Installer files | Release impact | Careful review required |
+| Elevation/GPO logic | Security implications | Confirm no policy handling regression |
+
+## Key Development Rules
+
+### Do
+- Add tests when changing behavior
+- Follow existing code patterns
+- Use atomic PRs (one logical change)
+- Ask for clarification when spec is ambiguous
+- Check exit codes (`0` = success)
+- Read files before modifying them
+- Update `NOTICE.md` when adding dependencies
+
+### Don't
+- Don't break IPC/JSON contracts without updating both runner and settings-ui
+- Don't add noisy logs in hot paths (hooks, tight loops)
+- Don't introduce third-party dependencies without PM approval
+- Don't merge incomplete features into main (use feature branches)
+- Don't use `dotnet test` (use VS Test Explorer or vstest.console.exe)
+- Don't skip hooks (--no-verify) unless explicitly requested
+
+## Special Testing Requirements
+
+- **Mouse Without Borders**: Requires 2+ physical computers (not VMs)
+- **Multi-monitor utilities**: Test with 2+ monitors, different DPI settings
+- **File I/O or user input modules**: Must implement fuzzing tests
+
+## Running PowerToys
+
+### Debug Build
+- After building, run `x64\Debug\PowerToys.exe` directly
+- Some modules (PowerRename, ImageResizer, File Explorer extensions) require full installation
+
+### Release Build
+- Build the installer: `.\tools\build\build-installer.ps1 -Platform x64 -Configuration Release`
+- Install from `installer\` output folder
+
+## Common Issues
+
+### Build Failures
+1. Check `build.<config>.<platform>.errors.log`
+2. Ensure submodules are initialized: `git submodule update --init --recursive`
+3. Run `build-essentials.cmd` to restore NuGet packages
+4. Check Visual Studio has required workloads (import `.vsconfig`)
+
+### Missing DLLs at Runtime
+- Some modules require installation via the installer to register COM handlers/shell extensions
+- Build and install from `installer/` folder
+
+## Documentation Index
+
+### Essential Reading

+# ImageResizer: WPF to WinRT Imaging Migration Notes
+
+## Overview
+
+The ImageResizer module's core image processing was migrated from WPF (`System.Windows.Media.Imaging` / `PresentationCore.dll`) to WinRT (`Windows.Graphics.Imaging`). The UI had already been migrated to WinUI 3, but the imaging pipeline still relied on WPF APIs, causing runtime failures when deployed via the installer (missing `PresentationCore.dll` in self-contained WinUI 3 deployment).
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+### PNG Interlace Mode Not Configurable
+
+**Setting**: `PngInterlaceOption` (values: `Default`, `On`, `Off`)
+
+**Behavior change**: The WinRT `BitmapEncoder` does not expose an API to configure PNG interlace mode. The `PngInterlaceOption` setting is preserved in `settings.json` for backward compatibility, but it has **no effect** on the encoded PNG output. WinRT's PNG encoder always uses its default interlace behavior (non-interlaced).
+
+**Why**: WPF's `PngBitmapEncoder` had an `Interlace` property that mapped to the Adam7 interlacing algorithm, which enables progressive image loading. WinRT's `BitmapEncoder` does not expose an equivalent property, and there is no `BitmapPropertySet` key to control PNG interlacing.
+
+**Impact**: Minimal. PNG interlacing is primarily useful for slow network transfers (progressive rendering in browsers). For local file resizing, it has negligible impact. The Settings UI still displays the option for JSON compatibility, but changing it will not alter the output.
+
+### Metadata Stripping Behavior Change
+
+**Setting**: `RemoveMetadata = true`
+
+**Old behavior (WPF)**: Metadata was selectively stripped — most EXIF properties were removed, but `System.Photo.Orientation` was preserved to maintain correct image display orientation.
+
+**New behavior (WinRT)**: All metadata is stripped when `RemoveMetadata = true`. The new implementation uses `BitmapEncoder.CreateAsync()` (fresh encoder with no metadata) instead of cloning and selectively clearing metadata. This means orientation EXIF data is also removed.
+
+**Why**: WPF had `BitmapMetadata.Clone()` which allowed selective property removal. WinRT's `BitmapProperties` API does not provide an equivalent way to bulk-remove metadata while preserving specific fields after using `CreateForTranscodingAsync`. The simplest correct approach is to use a fresh encoder, which strips everything.
+
+**Impact**: Images with EXIF orientation tags that are resized with `RemoveMetadata = true` may display rotated in viewers that rely on EXIF orientation rather than actual pixel orientation. This matches the user's explicit intent to remove metadata.
+
+### Pixel-Level Differences
+
+WinRT's `BitmapInterpolationMode.Fant` may produce slightly different pixel values compared to WPF's internal scaling algorithm. Both are high-quality interpolation methods, but they are not guaranteed to produce bit-identical output. This is expected and does not affect visual quality.
+
+## Installer / Build Pipeline Issues
+
+### Satellite Assembly References Removed from Resources.wxs
+
+**Problem**: After migrating to WinUI 3, the WiX installer failed with `WIX0103` errors — it could not find `PowerToys.ImageResizer.resources.dll` satellite assemblies in `WinUI3Apps/{locale}/` directories.
+
+**Root cause**: WPF uses `.resx` files which compile into satellite assemblies (`.resources.dll`). WinUI 3 uses `.resw` files which compile into `.pri` files. The installer's `Resources.wxs` still referenced the old satellite assembly pattern.
+
+**Fix**: Removed the ImageResizer satellite assembly component, `WinUI3AppsInstallFolder` from the `ParentDirectory` foreach loop, and the corresponding `RemoveFolder` entry from `Resources.wxs`.
+
+### Phantom Root-Level Build Artifacts
+
+**Problem**: `PowerToys.ImageResizer.exe`, `.deps.json`, and `.runtimeconfig.json` appear in the root output directory (`x64/Release/`) even though the project's `OutputPath` is `WinUI3Apps/`. This caused the installer to include an incomplete, non-functional copy (missing the managed `.dll`) and the ESRP signing check to fail.
+
+**Root cause**: `ImageResizerCLI` (`OutputType=Exe`, `SelfContained=true`) has a `<ProjectReference>` to `ImageResizerUI` (`OutputType=WinExe`, `SelfContained=true`). When MSBuild processes an Exe→WinExe dependency between two self-contained projects, it copies the referenced project's apphost (`.exe`) and runtime config files to the root output directory as a side effect. This is the **only** Exe→WinExe `ProjectReference` in the entire PowerToys codebase — other CLI tools (e.g., FancyZonesCLI) correctly reference a shared Library project instead.
+
+**Temporary fix**: `generateAllFileComponents.ps1` strips the leaked ImageResizer files from the `BaseApplicationsFiles` list after generation. The signing config (`ESRPSigning_core.json`) only references `WinUI3Apps\\` paths.
+
+**TODO**: Refactor the dependency — extract shared CLI logic from `ImageResizerUI` (`ui/Cli/` folder) into a separate Library project, so `ImageResizerCLI` references a Library instead of a WinExe. This follows the pattern used by `FancyZonesCLI` → `FancyZonesEditorCommon`.

-    Microsoft ResX Schema 
-    
-    Version 2.0
-    
-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
-    </data>
-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
-        <comment>This is a comment</comment>
-    </data>
-                
-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
-
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
