+    Uses git rev-list to compute commits in the (StartCommit, EndCommit] range, extracts PR numbers from merge commit messages,
+    queries GitHub (gh CLI) for details, then outputs a CSV.

+
+.NOTES
+    Requires: gh CLI authenticated; git available in working directory (must be inside PowerToys repo clone).
+    CopilotSummary behavior:
+      - Attempts to locate the latest GitHub Copilot authored review (preferred).
+      - If no review is found, lazily fetches PR comments to look for a Copilot-authored comment.
+      - Normalizes whitespace and strips newlines. Empty when no Copilot activity detected.

-.SYNOPSIS
-    Get all authors (including co-authors) for a set of commits via GitHub GraphQL API.
-.DESCRIPTION
-    Uses the Commit.authors field in GitHub's GraphQL API which natively includes
-    co-authors (from Co-authored-by trailers). Returns GitHub usernames (login)
-    without any email parsing — GitHub resolves the association for us.
-
-    NOTE: For squash merges this captures all co-authors correctly because GitHub
-    preserves Co-authored-by trailers in the squash commit. For traditional merge
-    commits, only the merger's author is returned — co-authors on individual PR
-    commits are not traversed. This is acceptable because PowerToys primarily uses
-    squash merging.

-# 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
-    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".
-
-.EXAMPLE
-    .\Update-WinMdCache.ps1
-    .\Update-WinMdCache.ps1 -ProjectDir BlankWinUI

-# 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.

-## 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 |
-| MSIX packaging fails in PreBuildEvent | Move to PostBuildEvent; artifacts not ready at PreBuild time |
-| RC file icon path with forward slashes | Use double-backslash escaping: `..\\ui\\Assets\\icon.ico` |
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-| Issue | Solution |
-|-------|----------|
-| Build fails after namespace rename | Check for lingering `System.Windows` usings; some types have no direct equivalent |
-| Missing `PresentationCore.dll` at runtime | Ensure ALL imaging code uses `Windows.Graphics.Imaging`, not `System.Windows.Media.Imaging` |
-| `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 |
-| `Parallel.ForEach` compilation error | Migrate to `Parallel.ForEachAsync` for async imaging operations |
-| Signing check fails on leaked artifacts | Run `generateAllFileComponents.ps1`; verify only `WinUI3Apps\\` paths in signing config |

-# 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 |

-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
-
-### WPF .csproj
-
-```xml
-<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
-  <PropertyGroup>
-    <OutputType>WinExe</OutputType>
-    <TargetFramework>net8.0-windows</TargetFramework>
-    <UseWPF>true</UseWPF>
-    <ApplicationManifest>ImageResizerUI.dev.manifest</ApplicationManifest>
-    <ApplicationIcon>Resources\ImageResizer.ico</ApplicationIcon>
-    <AppendTargetFrameworkToOutputPath>false</AppendTargetFrameworkToOutputPath>

-```
-
-### WinUI 3 .csproj
-
-```xml
-<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
-  <PropertyGroup>
-    <OutputType>WinExe</OutputType>
-    <TargetFramework>net8.0-windows10.0.19041.0</TargetFramework>
-    <UseWinUI>true</UseWinUI>

-    <DefineConstants>DISABLE_XAML_GENERATED_MAIN,TRACE</DefineConstants>
-    <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 -->

-## 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  -->`

-# CursorWrap Simulator
-
-A Python visualization tool that displays monitor layouts and shows which edges will wrap to other monitors using the exact same logic as the PowerToys CursorWrap implementation.
-
-## Purpose
-
-This tool helps you:
-- Visualize your multi-monitor setup
-- Identify which screen edges are "outer edges" (edges that don't connect to another monitor)
-- See where cursor wrapping will occur when you move the cursor to an outer edge
-- **Find problem areas** where edges have NO wrap destination (shown in red)
-
-## Requirements
-
-- Python 3.6+
-- Tkinter (included with standard Python on Windows)
-
-## Usage
-
-### Command Line
-
-```bash
-python wrap_simulator.py <path_to_monitor_layout.json>
-```
-
-### Without Arguments
-
-```bash
-python wrap_simulator.py
-```
-
-This opens the application with no layout loaded. Use the "Load JSON" button to select a file.
-
-## JSON File Format
-
-The monitor layout JSON file should have this structure:
-
-```json
-{
-  "captured_at": "2026-02-16T08:50:34+00:00",
-  "computer_name": "MY-PC",
-  "user_name": "User",
-  "monitor_count": 3,
-  "monitors": [
-    {
-      "left": 0,
-      "top": 0,
-      "right": 2560,
-      "bottom": 1440,
-      "width": 2560,
-      "height": 1440,
-      "dpi": 96,
-      "scaling_percent": 100.0,
-      "primary": true,
-      "device_name": "DISPLAY1"
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-## Understanding the Visualization
-
-### Monitor Display
-- **Gray rectangles**: Individual monitors
-- **Orange border**: Primary monitor
-- **Labels**: Show monitor index, device name, and resolution
-
-### Edge Bars (Outside Monitor Boundaries)
-
-Colored bars are drawn outside each **outer edge** (edges not adjacent to another monitor):
-
-| Color | Meaning |
-|-------|---------|
-| **Yellow** | Edge segment has a wrap destination ✓ |
-| **Red with stripes** | NO wrap destination - Problem area! ⚠️ |
-
-The bar outline color indicates the edge type:
-- Red = Left edge
-- Teal = Right edge  
-- Blue = Top edge
-- Green = Bottom edge
-
-### Interactive Features
-
-1. **Hover over edge segments**: 
-   - See wrap destination info in the status bar
-   - Green arrow shows where the cursor would wrap to
-   - Green dashed rectangle highlights the destination
-
-2. **Click on edge segments**:
-   - Detailed information appears in the info panel
-   - Shows full problem analysis with reason codes
-   - Explains why wrapping does/doesn't occur
-   - Provides suggestions for fixing problems
-
-
-3. **Wrap Mode Selection**:
-   - **Both**: Wrap in all directions (default)
-   - **Vertical Only**: Only top/bottom edges wrap
-   - **Horizontal Only**: Only left/right edges wrap
-
-4. **Export Analysis**:
-   - Click "Export Analysis" to save detailed diagnostic data
-   - Exports to JSON format for use in algorithm development
-   - Includes all problem segments with reason codes and suggestions
-
-5. **Edge Test Simulation** (NEW):
-   - Click "🧪 Test Edges" to start automated edge testing
-   - Visually animates cursor movement along ALL outer edges
-   - Shows wrap destination for each test point with colored lines:
-     - **Red circle**: Source position on outer edge
-     - **Green circle**: Wrap destination
-     - **Green dashed line**: Connection showing wrap path
-     - **Red X**: No wrap destination (problem area)
-   - Use "New Algorithm" checkbox to toggle between:
-     - **NEW**: Projection-based algorithm (eliminates dead zones)
-     - **OLD**: Direct overlap only (may have dead zones)
-   - Results summary shows per-edge coverage statistics
-
-## Problem Analysis
-
-When a segment has no wrap destination, the tool provides detailed analysis:
-
-### Problem Reason Codes
-
-| Code | Description |
-|------|-------------|
-| `WRAP_MODE_DISABLED` | Edge type disabled by current wrap mode setting |
-| `NO_OPPOSITE_OUTER_EDGES` | No outer edges of the opposite type exist at all |
-| `NO_OVERLAPPING_RANGE` | Opposite edges exist but don't cover this coordinate range |
-| `SINGLE_MONITOR` | Only one monitor - nowhere to wrap to |
-
-### Diagnostic Details
-
-For `NO_OVERLAPPING_RANGE` problems, the tool shows:
-- Distance to the nearest valid wrap destination
-- List of available opposite edges sorted by distance
-- Whether the gap is above/below or left/right of the segment
-- Suggested fixes (extend monitors or adjust positions)
-
-## Sample Files
-
-Included sample layouts:
-
-- `sample_layout.json` - 3 monitors in a row with one offset
-- `sample_staggered.json` - 3 monitors with staggered vertical positions (shows problem areas)
-- `sample_with_gap.json` - 2 monitors with a gap between them
-

-## How CursorWrap Logic Works
-
-### Original Algorithm (v1)
-
-1. **Outer Edge Detection**: An edge is "outer" if no other monitor's opposite edge is within 50 pixels AND has sufficient vertical/horizontal overlap
-
-2. **Wrap Destination**: When cursor reaches an outer edge:
-   - Find the opposite type outer edge (Left→Right, Top→Bottom, etc.)
-   - The destination must overlap with the cursor's perpendicular position
-   - Cursor warps to the furthest matching outer edge
-
-3. **Problem Areas**: If no opposite outer edge overlaps with a portion of an outer edge, that segment has no wrap destination - the cursor will simply stop at that edge.
-
-### Enhanced Algorithm (v2) - With Projection
-
-The enhanced algorithm eliminates dead zones by projecting cursor positions to valid destinations:
-
-1. **Direct Overlap**: If an opposite outer edge directly overlaps the cursor's perpendicular coordinate, use it (same as v1)
-
-2. **Nearest Edge Projection**: If no direct overlap exists:
-   - Find the nearest opposite outer edge by coordinate distance
-   - Calculate a projected position using offset-from-boundary approach
-   - The projection preserves relative position similar to how Windows handles monitor transitions
-
-3. **No Dead Zones**: Every point on every outer edge will have a valid wrap destination
-
-### Testing the Algorithm
-
-Use the included test script to validate both algorithms:
-
-```bash
-python test_new_algorithm.py [layout_file.json]
-```
-
-This compares the old algorithm (with dead zones) against the new algorithm (with projection) and reports coverage.
-
-## Cursor Log Playback
-
-The simulator can play back recorded cursor movement logs to visualize how the cursor moves across monitors.
-
-### Loading a Cursor Log
-
-1. Click "Load Log" to select a cursor movement log file
-2. Use the playback controls:
-   - **▶ Play / ⏸ Pause**: Start or pause playback
-   - **⏹ Stop**: Stop and reset to beginning
-   - **⏮ Reset**: Reset to beginning without stopping
-   - **Speed slider**: Adjust playback speed (10-500ms between frames)
-
-### Log File Format
-
-The cursor log file is CSV format with the following columns:
-
-```
-display_name,x,y,dpi,scaling%
-```
-
-Example:
-```csv
-\\.\DISPLAY1,1234,567,96,100%
-\\.\DISPLAY2,2560,720,144,150%
-\\.\DISPLAY3,-500,800,96,100%
-```
-
-- **display_name**: Windows display name (e.g., `\\.\DISPLAY1`)
-- **x, y**: Screen coordinates
-- **dpi**: Display DPI
-- **scaling%**: Display scaling percentage (with or without % sign)
-
-Lines starting with `#` are treated as comments and ignored.
-
-### Playback Visualization
-
-- **Green cursor**: Normal movement within a monitor
-- **Red cursor with burst effect**: Monitor transition detected
-- **Blue trail**: Recent cursor movement path (fades over time)
-- **Dashed red arrow**: Shows transition path between monitors
-
-The playback automatically slows down when a monitor transition is detected, making it easier to observe wrap behavior.
-
-### Sample Log File
-
-A sample cursor log file `sample_cursor_log.csv` is included that demonstrates cursor movement across a three-monitor setup.
-
-## Architecture
-
-The Python implementation mirrors the C++ code structure:
-
-- `MonitorTopology` class: Manages edge-based monitor layout
-- `MonitorEdge` dataclass: Represents a single edge of a monitor
-- `EdgeSegment` dataclass: A portion of an edge with wrap info
-- `CursorLogEntry` dataclass: A single cursor movement log entry
-- `WrapSimulatorApp`: Tkinter GUI application
-
-## Integration with PowerToys
-
-This tool is designed to validate and debug the CursorWrap feature. The JSON files can be generated by the debug build of CursorWrap or created manually for testing specific configurations.
