+ - Added retry mechanism for CmdPal launch.
+ - Removed some unused files from CmdPal.Common to simplify the codebase and facilitate marking it as AoT-compatible.

+ - Added support for searching any file in the fallback command.
+ - Cleaned up AoT-related code to prevent duplicate operations during testing.
+ - Reduced CmdPal load time by parallelizing extension startup and adding timeouts to prevent misbehaving extensions from blocking others.

+ - Fixed a leak in the CmdPal extension template by addressing improper ComServer use.
+ - Prevented CmdPal window from maximizing on title bar double-click to maintain intended window behavior. Thanks [@davidegiacometti](https://github.com/davidegiacometti)!

+ - Fixed white flash and one-time animation issues in CmdPal by cloaking the window instead of hiding it.
+ - Fixed a bug where all extension settings were fetched on startup by lazy-loading extension settings, reducing initialization overhead.

+ - Upgraded Boost dependencies to a newer version.
+ - Upgraded toolkit to the latest version, suppressed AoT-related warnings.
+ - Fixed an issue where missing signing for newly added files caused build failures.
+ - Update release pipeline to prevent publishing private symbols for 100 years.
+ - Introduced fuzzing for PowerRename to improve reliability and added setup guidance for extending fuzzing to other C++ modules.
+ - Added centralized pre-creation of generated folders for all .csproj projects to prevent build failures.
+ - Updated WinAppSDK to the latest 1.7 version.
+ - Upgraded Boost dependencies to the latest version for the PowerRename Fuzzing project.

+ - Added scripts to locally build the installer, ensuring the CmdPal can also be launched in a local environment.
+ - Removed export PFX logic to eliminate hardcoded password usage and resolve PSScriptAnalyzer security warning.
+ - Added PowerShell script and CI integration to enforce consistent use of Common.Dotnet.CsWinRT.props across all C# projects under the src folder.
