-# PowerToys – Copilot guide (concise)
-
-This is the top-level guide for AI changes. Keep edits small, follow existing patterns, and cite exact paths in PRs.
-
-Repo map (1‑line per area)
-- Core apps: `src/runner/**` (tray/loader), `src/settings-ui/**` (Settings app)
-- Shared libs: `src/common/**`
-- Modules: `src/modules/*` (one per utility; Command Palette in `src/modules/cmdpal/**`)
-- Build tools/docs: `tools/**`, `doc/devdocs/**`
-
-Build and test (defaults)
-- Prerequisites: Visual Studio 2022 17.4+, minimal Windows 10 1803+.
-- Build discipline:
-  - One terminal per operation (build → test). Don’t switch/open new ones mid-flow.
-  - After making changes, `cd` to the project folder that changed (`.csproj`/`.vcxproj`).
-  - Use script(s) to build, synchronously block and wait in foreground for it to finish: `tools/build/build.ps1|.cmd` (current folder), `build-essentials.*` (once per brand new build for missing nuget packages)
-  - Treat build **exit code 0** as success; any non-zero exit code is a failure, have Copilot read the errors log in the build folder (e.g., `build.*.*.errors.log`) and surface problems.
-  - Don’t start tests or launch Runner until the previous step succeeded.
-- Tests (fast + targeted):
-  - Find the test project by product code prefix (e.g., FancyZones, AdvancedPaste). Look for a sibling folder or 1–2 levels up named like `<Product>*UnitTests` or `<Product>*UITests`.
-  - Build the test project, wait for **exit**, then run only those tests via VS Test Explorer or `vstest.console.exe` with filters. Avoid `dotnet test` in this repo.
-  - Add/adjust tests when changing behavior; if skipped, state why (e.g., comment-only, string rename).
-
-Pull requests (expectations)
-- Atomic: one logical change; no drive‑by refactors.
-- Describe: problem / approach / risk / test evidence.
-- List: touched paths if not obvious.
-
-When to ask for clarification
-- Ambiguous spec after scanning relevant docs (see below).
-- Cross-module impact (shared enum/struct) not clear.
-- Security / elevation / installer changes.
-
-Logging (use existing stacks)
-- C++: `src/common/logger/**` (`Logger::info|warn|error|debug`). Keep hot paths quiet (hooks, tight loops).
-- C#: `ManagedCommon.Logger` (`LogInfo|LogWarning|LogError|LogDebug|LogTrace`). Some UIs use injected `ILogger` via `LoggerInstance.Logger`.
-
-Docs to consult
-- `tools/build/BUILD-GUIDELINES.md`
-- `doc/devdocs/core/architecture.md`, `doc/devdocs/core/runner.md`, `doc/devdocs/core/settings/readme.md`, `doc/devdocs/modules/readme.md`
-
-Done checklist (self review before finishing)
-- Build clean? Tests updated/passed? No unintended formatting? Any new dependency? Documented skips?

 Our [prioritized roadmap][roadmap] of features and utilities that the core team is focusing on.
 
-### 0.94 - Sep 2025 Update
+### 0.93 - Aug 2025 Update
 
 In this release, we focused on new features, stability, optimization improvements, and automation.
 
-For an in-depth look at the latest changes, visit the [release blog](https://aka.ms/powertoys-releaseblog).
-
 **✨Highlights**
 
- - PowerToys Settings added a Settings search with fuzzy matching, suggestions, a results page, and UX polish to make finding options faster.
- - A comprehensive hotkey conflict detection system was introduced in Settings to surface and help resolve conflicting shortcuts. Note that the default hotkey settings (Win+Ctrl+Shift+T, Win+Ctrl+V, Win+Ctrl+T, Win+Shift+T) may overlap with existing Windows system shortcuts. This is expected. You can resolve the conflict by assigning different hotkeys.
- - Mouse Utilities added a “Gliding cursor” accessibility feature to Mouse Pointer Crosshairs for single‑button cursor movement and clicking. Thanks [@mikehall-ms](https://github.com/mikehall-ms)!
- - The installer was upgraded to WiX 5 after WiX 3 reached end-of-life; this move improved installer security, reliability, and community support.
- - Tons of bug fixes and improvements for Command Palette, including visual updates and new support for filters on ListPages (handy for extension developers).
- - Hosts Editor now has a “No leading spaces” option so active host entries can start at column 0 even if others are disabled. Thanks [@mohammed-saalim](https://github.com/mohammed-saalim)!
- - Context menu registration was moved from the installer to runtime to avoid loading disabled modules (runtime registrations).
- - Quick Accent now supports Maltese, and frequently used accents appear first (and are remembered across sessions). Thanks [@rovercoder](https://github.com/rovercoder)! [@davidegiacometti](https://github.com/davidegiacometti)!
-

+ - PowerToys settings debuts a modern, card-based dashboard with clearer descriptions and faster navigation for a streamlined user experience.
+ - Command Palette had over 99 issues resolved, including bringing back Clipboard History, adding context menu shortcuts, pinning favorite apps, and supporting history in Run.
+ - Command Palette reduced its startup memory usage by ~15%, load time by ~40%, built-in extensions loading time by ~70%, and installation size by ~55%—all due to using the full Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compilation mode in Windows App SDK.
+ - Peek now supports instant previews and embedded thumbnails for Binary G-code (.bgcode) 3D printing files, making it easy to inspect models at a glance. Thanks [@pedrolamas](https://github.com/pedrolamas)!
+ - Mouse Utilities introduces a new spotlight highlighting mode that dims the screen and draws attention to your cursor, perfect for presentations.
+ - Test coverage improvements for multiple PowerToys modules including Command Palette, Advanced Paste, Peek, Text Extractor, and PowerRename — ensuring better reliability and quality, with over 600 new unit tests (mostly for Command Palette) and doubled UI automation coverage.

-## Developing PowerToys with Visual Studio Code
-
-This guide shows how to build, debug, and contribute to PowerToys using VS Code instead of (or alongside) full Visual Studio. It focuses on common inner‑loop tasks for C++, .NET, and mixed scenarios present in the solution.
-
-> PowerToys is a large mixed C++ / C# / WinAppSDK solution. VS Code works well for incremental development and quick module iterations, but occasionally you may still prefer full Visual Studio for designer tooling or specialized diagnostics.
-
----
-VS Code extensions Needed:
-
-| Area | Extension | Notes |
-|------|-----------|-------|
-| C++ | ms-vscode.cpptools | IntelliSense, debugging (cppvsdbg) |
-| C# | ms-dotnettools.csdevkit (or C#) | Language service / test explorer |
-
----
-
-## Building in VS Code
-### Configure developer powershell for vs2022 for more convenient dev in vscode.
-1. Configure profile in in settings, entry:  "terminal.integrated.profiles.windows"
-2. Add below config as entry:
-```json
-    "Developer PowerShell for VS 2022": {
-		// Configure based on your preference
-        "path": "C:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps\\Microsoft.PowerShell_7.5.2.0_arm64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\\pwsh.exe",
-        "args": [
-            "-NoExit",
-            "-Command",
-            "& {",
-            "$orig = Get-Location;",
-            // Configure based on your environment
-            "& 'C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2022\\Enterprise\\Common7\\Tools\\Launch-VsDevShell.ps1';",
-            "Set-Location $orig",
-            "}"
-        ]
-    },
-```
-3. [Optional] Set Developer PowerShell for VS 2022 as your default profile, so that you can get a deep integration with vscode coding agent. 
-
-4. Now You can build with plain `msbuild` or configure tasks.json in below section
-Or reach out to "tools\build\BUILD-GUIDELINES.md"
-
-### Sample plain msbuild command
-```powershell
-# Restore:
-msbuild powertoys.sln -t:restore -p:configuration=debug -p:platform=x64 -m
-
-# Build powertoys sln
-msbuild powertoys.sln -p:configuration=debug -p:platform=x64 -m
-
-# dotnet project
-msbuild src\settings-ui\Settings.UI\PowerToys.Settings.csproj -p:Platform=x64 -p:Configuration=Debug -m
-
-# native project
-msbuild "src\modules\MouseUtils\FindMyMouse\FindMyMouse.vcxproj" -p:Configuration=Debug -p:Platform=x64 -m
-```
-
----
-
-## Debugging
-
-### Existing launch configuration
-
-The repo provides `.vscode/launch.json` with:
-
-- `Run PowerToys.exe (no build)`: Launches the already-built executable at `x64/Debug/PowerToys.exe` using `cppvsdbg`.
-
-Build first, then press F5. To switch configuration (Release / ARM64) either edit the path or create additional launch entries.
-
-### Attaching to a running instance
-
-If PowerToys is already running, you can attach to that process:
-
-2. VS Code command palette: “C/C++: (Windows) Attach to Process”.
-3. Filter for `PowerToys.exe` / module-specific processes.
-
-### Debugging managed components
-
-Many modules have a managed component loaded into the PowerToys process. `cppvsdbg` can debug mixed mode, but if you need richer .NET inspection you can create a second configuration using `type: coreclr` and `processId` attachment after the native launch, or just attach separately:
-
-Similar for attach to managed code.
-> Note: In arm64 machine, can only debug arm64 code.
-
-```jsonc
-{
-    "version": "0.2.0",
-    "configurations": [
-        {
-            "name": "Run native executable (no build)",
-            "type": "cppvsdbg",
-            "request": "launch",
-            "program": "${workspaceFolder}\\x64\\Debug\\PowerToys.exe",
-            "args": [],
-            "stopAtEntry": false,
-            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
-            "environment": [],
-            "console": "integratedTerminal"
-        },
-        {
-            "name": "C/C++ Attach to PowerToys Process (native)",
-            "type": "cppvsdbg",
-            "request": "attach",
-            "processId": "${command:pickProcess}",
-            "symbolSearchPath": "${workspaceFolder}\\x64\\Debug;${workspaceFolder}\\Debug;${workspaceFolder}\\symbols"
-        },
-        {
-            "name": "Run managed code (managed, no build)",
-            "type": "coreclr",
-            "request": "launch",
-            "program": "${workspaceFolder}\\arm64\\Debug\\WinUI3Apps\\PowerToys.Settings.exe",
-            "args": [],
-            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
-            "env": {},
-            "console": "internalConsole",
-            "stopAtEntry": false
-        }

-}

-## 6. Common tasks & tips
-
-| Task | Command / Action | Notes |
-|------|------------------|-------|
-| Clean | `git clean -xdf` (careful) or `msbuild /t:Clean PowerToys.sln` | Deep clean removes packages & build outputs |
-| Rebuild single project | `msbuild path\to\proj.vcxproj /t:Rebuild -p:Platform=x64 -p:Configuration=Debug` | Faster than whole solution |
-| Generate installer (rare in inner loop) | See `tools\build\build-installer.ps1` | Usually not needed for local debug |
-| Resource conversion errors | Re-run restore + build | Triggers custom PowerShell targets |

-# Common – shared libraries guidance (concise)
-
-Scope
-- Logging, IPC, settings, DPI, telemetry, utilities consumed by multiple modules.
-
-Guidelines
-- Avoid breaking public headers/APIs; if changed, search & update all callers.
-- Coordinate ABI-impacting struct/class layout changes; keep binary compatibility.
-- Watch perf in hot paths (hooks, timers, serialization); avoid avoidable allocations.
-- Ask before adding third‑party deps or changing serialization formats.
-
-Acceptance
-- No unintended ABI breaks, no noisy logs, new non-obvious symbols briefly commented.
