 # Non-English
-# Even repositories expecting pure English content can unintentionally have Non-English content... People will occasionally mistakenly enter [homoglyphs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homoglyph) which are essentially typos, and using this pattern will mean check-spelling will not complain about them.
-#
-# If the content to be checked should be written in English and the only Non-English items will be people's names, then you can consider adding this.
-#
-# Alternatively, if you're using check-spelling v0.0.25+, and you would like to _check_ the Non-English content for spelling errors, you can. For information on how to do so, see:

-# PowerToys – Copilot Instructions
-
-Concise guidance for AI contributions. For complete details, see [AGENTS.md](../AGENTS.md).
-
-## Quick Reference
-
-- **Build**: `tools\build\build-essentials.cmd` (first time), then `tools\build\build.cmd`
-- **Tests**: Find `<Product>*UnitTests` project, build it, run via VS Test Explorer
-- **Exit code 0 = success** – do not proceed if build fails
-
-## Key Rules
-
-- One terminal per operation (build → test)
-- Atomic PRs: one logical change, no drive-by refactors
-- Add tests when changing behavior
-- Keep hot paths quiet (no logging in hooks/tight loops)
-
-## Style Enforcement
-
-- C#: `src/.editorconfig`, StyleCop.Analyzers
-- C++: `src/.clang-format`
-- XAML: XamlStyler
-
-## When to Ask for Clarification
-
-- Ambiguous spec after scanning docs
-- Cross-module impact unclear
-- Security, elevation, or installer changes
-
-## Component-Specific Instructions
-
-These are auto-applied based on file location:
-- [Runner & Settings UI](.github/instructions/runner-settings-ui.instructions.md)
-- [Common Libraries](.github/instructions/common-libraries.instructions.md)
-
-## Detailed Documentation

-- Location: `.github/agents/` directory (repository-level) or `agents/` directory (organization/enterprise-level)
-- Purpose: Define specialized agents with tailored expertise, tools, and instructions for specific tasks
-- Official documentation: https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/use-copilot-agents/coding-agent/create-custom-agents
-
-## Required Frontmatter
-
-Every agent file must include YAML frontmatter with the following fields:
-
-```yaml
----
-description: 'Brief description of the agent purpose and capabilities'
-name: 'Agent Display Name'
-tools: ['read', 'edit', 'search']
-model: 'Claude Sonnet 4.5'
-target: 'vscode'
-infer: true
----
-```
-
-### Core Frontmatter Properties
-
-#### **description** (REQUIRED)
-- Single-quoted string, clearly stating the agent's purpose and domain expertise
-- Should be concise (50-150 characters) and actionable
-- Example: `'Focuses on test coverage, quality, and testing best practices'`
-
-#### **name** (OPTIONAL)
-- Display name for the agent in the UI
-- If omitted, defaults to filename (without `.md` or `.agent.md`)
-- Use title case and be descriptive
-- Example: `'Testing Specialist'`
-
-#### **tools** (OPTIONAL)
-- List of tool names or aliases the agent can use
-- Supports comma-separated string or YAML array format
-- If omitted, agent has access to all available tools
-- See "Tool Configuration" section below for details
-
-#### **model** (STRONGLY RECOMMENDED)
-- Specifies which AI model the agent should use
-- Supported in VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode
-- Example: `'Claude Sonnet 4.5'`, `'gpt-4'`, `'gpt-4o'`
-- Choose based on agent complexity and required capabilities
-
-#### **target** (OPTIONAL)
-- Specifies target environment: `'vscode'` or `'github-copilot'`
-- If omitted, agent is available in both environments
-- Use when agent has environment-specific features
-
-#### **infer** (OPTIONAL)
-- Boolean controlling whether Copilot can automatically use this agent based on context
-- Default: `true` if omitted
-- Set to `false` to require manual agent selection
-
-#### **metadata** (OPTIONAL, GitHub.com only)
-- Object with name-value pairs for agent annotation
-- Example: `metadata: { category: 'testing', version: '1.0' }`
-- Not supported in VS Code
-
-#### **mcp-servers** (OPTIONAL, Organization/Enterprise only)
-- Configure MCP servers available only to this agent
-- Only supported for organization/enterprise level agents
-- See "MCP Server Configuration" section below
-
-## Tool Configuration
-
-### Tool Specification Strategies
-
-**Enable all tools** (default):
-```yaml
-# Omit tools property entirely, or use:
-tools: ['*']
-```
-
-**Enable specific tools**:
-```yaml
-tools: ['read', 'edit', 'search', 'execute']
-```
-
-**Enable MCP server tools**:
-```yaml
-tools: ['read', 'edit', 'github/*', 'playwright/navigate']
-```
-
-**Disable all tools**:
-```yaml
-tools: []
-```
-
-### Standard Tool Aliases
-
-All aliases are case-insensitive:
-
-| Alias | Alternative Names | Category | Description |
-|-------|------------------|----------|-------------|
-| `execute` | shell, Bash, powershell | Shell execution | Execute commands in appropriate shell |
-| `read` | Read, NotebookRead, view | File reading | Read file contents |
-| `edit` | Edit, MultiEdit, Write, NotebookEdit | File editing | Edit and modify files |
-| `search` | Grep, Glob, search | Code search | Search for files or text in files |
-| `agent` | custom-agent, Task | Agent invocation | Invoke other custom agents |
-| `web` | WebSearch, WebFetch | Web access | Fetch web content and search |
-| `todo` | TodoWrite | Task management | Create and manage task lists (VS Code only) |
-
-### Built-in MCP Server Tools
-
-**GitHub MCP Server**:
-```yaml
-tools: ['github/*']  # All GitHub tools
-tools: ['github/get_file_contents', 'github/search_repositories']  # Specific tools
-```
-- All read-only tools available by default
-- Token scoped to source repository
-
-**Playwright MCP Server**:
-```yaml
-tools: ['playwright/*']  # All Playwright tools
-tools: ['playwright/navigate', 'playwright/screenshot']  # Specific tools
-```
-- Configured to access localhost only
-- Useful for browser automation and testing
-
-### Tool Selection Best Practices
-
-- **Principle of Least Privilege**: Only enable tools necessary for the agent's purpose
-- **Security**: Limit `execute` access unless explicitly required
-- **Focus**: Fewer tools = clearer agent purpose and better performance
-- **Documentation**: Comment why specific tools are required for complex configurations
-
-## Sub-Agent Invocation (Agent Orchestration)
-
-Agents can invoke other agents using `runSubagent` to orchestrate multi-step workflows.
-
-### How It Works
-
-Include `agent` in tools list to enable sub-agent invocation:
-
-```yaml
-tools: ['read', 'edit', 'search', 'agent']
-```
-
-Then invoke other agents with `runSubagent`:
-
-```javascript
-const result = await runSubagent({
-  description: 'What this step does',
-  prompt: `You are the [Specialist] specialist.
-
-Context:
-- Parameter: ${parameterValue}
-- Input: ${inputPath}
-- Output: ${outputPath}
-
-Task:
-1. Do the specific work
-2. Write results to output location
-3. Return summary of completion`
-});
-```
-
-### Basic Pattern
-
-Structure each sub-agent call with:
-
-1. **description**: Clear one-line purpose of the sub-agent invocation
-2. **prompt**: Detailed instructions with substituted variables
-
-The prompt should include:
-- Who the sub-agent is (specialist role)
-- What context it needs (parameters, paths)
-- What to do (concrete tasks)
-- Where to write output
-- What to return (summary)
-
-### Example: Multi-Step Processing
-
-```javascript
-// Step 1: Process data
-const processing = await runSubagent({
-  description: 'Transform raw input data',
-  prompt: `You are the Data Processor specialist.
-
-Project: ${projectName}
-Input: ${basePath}/raw/
-Output: ${basePath}/processed/
-
-Task:
-1. Read all files from input directory
-2. Apply transformations
-3. Write processed files to output
-4. Create summary: ${basePath}/processed/summary.md
-
-Return: Number of files processed and any issues found`
-});
-
-// Step 2: Analyze (depends on Step 1)
-const analysis = await runSubagent({
-  description: 'Analyze processed data',
-  prompt: `You are the Data Analyst specialist.
-
-Project: ${projectName}
-Input: ${basePath}/processed/
-Output: ${basePath}/analysis/
-
-Task:
-1. Read processed files from input
-2. Generate analysis report
-3. Write to: ${basePath}/analysis/report.md
-
-Return: Key findings and identified patterns`
-});
-```
-
-### Key Points
-
-- **Pass variables in prompts**: Use `${variableName}` for all dynamic values
-- **Keep prompts focused**: Clear, specific tasks for each sub-agent
-- **Return summaries**: Each sub-agent should report what it accomplished
-- **Sequential execution**: Use `await` to maintain order when steps depend on each other
-- **Error handling**: Check results before proceeding to dependent steps
-
-### ⚠️ Tool Availability Requirement
-
-**Critical**: If a sub-agent requires specific tools (e.g., `edit`, `execute`, `search`), the orchestrator must include those tools in its own `tools` list. Sub-agents cannot access tools that aren't available to their parent orchestrator.
-
-**Example**:
-```yaml
-# If your sub-agents need to edit files, execute commands, or search code
-tools: ['read', 'edit', 'search', 'execute', 'agent']
-```
-
-The orchestrator's tool permissions act as a ceiling for all invoked sub-agents. Plan your tool list carefully to ensure all sub-agents have the tools they need.
-
-### ⚠️ Important Limitation
-
-**Sub-agent orchestration is NOT suitable for large-scale data processing.** Avoid using `runSubagent` when:
-- Processing hundreds or thousands of files
-- Handling large datasets
-- Performing bulk transformations on big codebases
-- Orchestrating more than 5-10 sequential steps
-
-Each sub-agent call adds latency and context overhead. For high-volume processing, implement logic directly in a single agent instead. Use orchestration only for coordinating specialized tasks on focused, manageable datasets.
-
-## Agent Prompt Structure
-
-The markdown content below the frontmatter defines the agent's behavior, expertise, and instructions. Well-structured prompts typically include:
-
-1. **Agent Identity and Role**: Who the agent is and its primary role
-2. **Core Responsibilities**: What specific tasks the agent performs
-3. **Approach and Methodology**: How the agent works to accomplish tasks
-4. **Guidelines and Constraints**: What to do/avoid and quality standards
-5. **Output Expectations**: Expected output format and quality
-
-### Prompt Writing Best Practices
-
-- **Be Specific and Direct**: Use imperative mood ("Analyze", "Generate"); avoid vague terms
-- **Define Boundaries**: Clearly state scope limits and constraints
-- **Include Context**: Explain domain expertise and reference relevant frameworks
-- **Focus on Behavior**: Describe how the agent should think and work
-- **Use Structured Format**: Headers, bullets, and lists make prompts scannable
-
-## Variable Definition and Extraction
-
-Agents can define dynamic parameters to extract values from user input and use them throughout the agent's behavior and sub-agent communications. This enables flexible, context-aware agents that adapt to user-provided data.
-
-### When to Use Variables
-
-**Use variables when**:
-- Agent behavior depends on user input
-- Need to pass dynamic values to sub-agents
-- Want to make agents reusable across different contexts
-- Require parameterized workflows
-- Need to track or reference user-provided context
-
-**Examples**:
-- Extract project name from user prompt
-- Capture certification name for pipeline processing
-- Identify file paths or directories
-- Extract configuration options
-- Parse feature names or module identifiers
-
-### Variable Declaration Pattern
-
-Define variables section early in the agent prompt to document expected parameters:
-
-```markdown
-# Agent Name
-
-## Dynamic Parameters
-
-- **Parameter Name**: Description and usage
-- **Another Parameter**: How it's extracted and used
-
-## Your Mission
-
-Process [PARAMETER_NAME] to accomplish [task].
-```
-
-### Variable Extraction Methods
-
-#### 1. **Explicit User Input**
-Ask the user to provide the variable if not detected in the prompt:
-
-```markdown
-## Your Mission
-
-Process the project by analyzing your codebase.
-
-### Step 1: Identify Project
-If no project name is provided, **ASK THE USER** for:
-- Project name or identifier
-- Base path or directory location
-- Configuration type (if applicable)
-
-Use this information to contextualize all subsequent tasks.
-```
-
-#### 2. **Implicit Extraction from Prompt**
-Automatically extract variables from the user's natural language input:
-
-```javascript
-// Example: Extract certification name from user input
-const userInput = "Process My Certification";
-
-// Extract key information
-const certificationName = extractCertificationName(userInput);
-// Result: "My Certification"
-
-const basePath = `certifications/${certificationName}`;
-// Result: "certifications/My Certification"
-```
-
-#### 3. **Contextual Variable Resolution**
-Use file context or workspace information to derive variables:
-
-```markdown
-## Variable Resolution Strategy
-
-1. **From User Prompt**: First, look for explicit mentions in user input
-2. **From File Context**: Check current file name or path
-3. **From Workspace**: Use workspace folder or active project
-4. **From Settings**: Reference configuration files
-5. **Ask User**: If all else fails, request missing information
-```
-
-### Using Variables in Agent Prompts
-
-#### Variable Substitution in Instructions
-
-Use template variables in agent prompts to make them dynamic:
-
-```markdown
-# Agent Name
-
-## Dynamic Parameters
-- **Project Name**: ${projectName}
-- **Base Path**: ${basePath}
-- **Output Directory**: ${outputDir}
-
-## Your Mission
-
-Process the **${projectName}** project located at `${basePath}`.
-
-## Process Steps
-
-1. Read input from: `${basePath}/input/`
-2. Process files according to project configuration
-3. Write results to: `${outputDir}/`
-4. Generate summary report
-
-## Quality Standards
-
-- Maintain project-specific coding standards for **${projectName}**
-- Follow directory structure: `${basePath}/[structure]`
-```
-
-#### Passing Variables to Sub-Agents
-
-When invoking a sub-agent, pass all context through template variables in the prompt:
-
-```javascript
-// Extract and prepare variables
-const basePath = `projects/${projectName}`;
-const inputPath = `${basePath}/src/`;
-const outputPath = `${basePath}/docs/`;
-
-// Pass to sub-agent with all variables substituted
-const result = await runSubagent({
-  description: 'Generate project documentation',
-  prompt: `You are the Documentation specialist.
-
-Project: ${projectName}
-Input: ${inputPath}
-Output: ${outputPath}
-
-Task:
-1. Read source files from ${inputPath}
-2. Generate comprehensive documentation
-3. Write to ${outputPath}/index.md
-4. Include code examples and usage guides
-
-Return: Summary of documentation generated (file count, word count)`
-});
-```
-
-The sub-agent receives all necessary context embedded in the prompt. Variables are resolved before sending the prompt, so the sub-agent works with concrete paths and values, not variable placeholders.
-
-### Real-World Example: Code Review Orchestrator
-
-Example of a simple orchestrator that validates code through multiple specialized agents:
-
-```javascript
-async function reviewCodePipeline(repositoryName, prNumber) {
-  const basePath = `projects/${repositoryName}/pr-${prNumber}`;
-
-  // Step 1: Security Review
-  const security = await runSubagent({
-    description: 'Scan for security vulnerabilities',
-    prompt: `You are the Security Reviewer specialist.
-
-Repository: ${repositoryName}
-PR: ${prNumber}
-Code: ${basePath}/changes/
-
-Task:
-1. Scan code for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities
-2. Check for injection attacks, auth flaws
-3. Write findings to ${basePath}/security-review.md
-
-Return: List of critical, high, and medium issues found`
-  });
-
-  // Step 2: Test Coverage Check
-  const coverage = await runSubagent({
-    description: 'Verify test coverage for changes',
-    prompt: `You are the Test Coverage specialist.
-
-Repository: ${repositoryName}
-PR: ${prNumber}
-Changes: ${basePath}/changes/
-
-Task:
-1. Analyze code coverage for modified files
-2. Identify untested critical paths
-3. Write report to ${basePath}/coverage-report.md
-
-Return: Current coverage percentage and gaps`
-  });
-
-  // Step 3: Aggregate Results
-  const finalReport = await runSubagent({
-    description: 'Compile all review findings',
-    prompt: `You are the Review Aggregator specialist.
-
-Repository: ${repositoryName}
-Reports: ${basePath}/*.md
-
-Task:
-1. Read all review reports from ${basePath}/
-2. Synthesize findings into single report
-3. Determine overall verdict (APPROVE/NEEDS_FIXES/BLOCK)
-4. Write to ${basePath}/final-review.md
-
-Return: Final verdict and executive summary`
-  });
-
-  return finalReport;
-}
-```
-
-This pattern applies to any orchestration scenario: extract variables, call sub-agents with clear context, await results.
-
-
-### Variable Best Practices
-
-#### 1. **Clear Documentation**
-Always document what variables are expected:
-
-```markdown
-## Required Variables
-- **projectName**: The name of the project (string, required)
-- **basePath**: Root directory for project files (path, required)
-
-## Optional Variables
-- **mode**: Processing mode - quick/standard/detailed (enum, default: standard)
-- **outputFormat**: Output format - markdown/json/html (enum, default: markdown)
-
-## Derived Variables
-- **outputDir**: Automatically set to ${basePath}/output
-- **logFile**: Automatically set to ${basePath}/.log.md
-```
-
-#### 2. **Consistent Naming**
-Use consistent variable naming conventions:
-
-```javascript
-// Good: Clear, descriptive naming
-const variables = {
-  projectName,          // What project to work on
-  basePath,            // Where project files are located
-  outputDirectory,     // Where to save results
-  processingMode,      // How to process (detail level)
-  configurationPath    // Where config files are
-};
-
-// Avoid: Ambiguous or inconsistent
-const bad_variables = {
-  name,     // Too generic
-  path,     // Unclear which path
-  mode,     // Too short
-  config    // Too vague
-};
-```
-
-#### 3. **Validation and Constraints**
-Document valid values and constraints:
-
-```markdown
-## Variable Constraints
-
-**projectName**:
-- Type: string (alphanumeric, hyphens, underscores allowed)
-- Length: 1-100 characters
-- Required: yes
-- Pattern: `/^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$/`
-
-**processingMode**:
-- Type: enum
-- Valid values: "quick" (< 5min), "standard" (5-15min), "detailed" (15+ min)
-- Default: "standard"
-- Required: no
-```
-
-## MCP Server Configuration (Organization/Enterprise Only)
-
-MCP servers extend agent capabilities with additional tools. Only supported for organization and enterprise-level agents.
-
-### Configuration Format
-
-```yaml
----
-name: my-custom-agent
-description: 'Agent with MCP integration'
-tools: ['read', 'edit', 'custom-mcp/tool-1']
-mcp-servers:
-  custom-mcp:
-    type: 'local'
-    command: 'some-command'
-    args: ['--arg1', '--arg2']
-    tools: ["*"]
-    env:
-      ENV_VAR_NAME: ${{ secrets.API_KEY }}
----
-```
-
-### MCP Server Properties
-
-- **type**: Server type (`'local'` or `'stdio'`)
-- **command**: Command to start the MCP server
-- **args**: Array of command arguments
-- **tools**: Tools to enable from this server (`["*"]` for all)
-- **env**: Environment variables (supports secrets)
-
-### Environment Variables and Secrets
-
-Secrets must be configured in repository settings under "copilot" environment.
-
-**Supported syntax**:
-```yaml
-env:
-  # Environment variable only
-  VAR_NAME: COPILOT_MCP_ENV_VAR_VALUE
-
-  # Variable with header
-  VAR_NAME: $COPILOT_MCP_ENV_VAR_VALUE
-  VAR_NAME: ${COPILOT_MCP_ENV_VAR_VALUE}
-
-  # GitHub Actions-style (YAML only)
-  VAR_NAME: ${{ secrets.COPILOT_MCP_ENV_VAR_VALUE }}
-  VAR_NAME: ${{ var.COPILOT_MCP_ENV_VAR_VALUE }}
-```
-
-## File Organization and Naming
-
-### Repository-Level Agents
-- Location: `.github/agents/`
-- Scope: Available only in the specific repository
-- Access: Uses repository-configured MCP servers
-
-### Organization/Enterprise-Level Agents
-- Location: `.github-private/agents/` (then move to `agents/` root)
-- Scope: Available across all repositories in org/enterprise
-- Access: Can configure dedicated MCP servers
-
-### Naming Conventions
-- Use lowercase with hyphens: `test-specialist.agent.md`
-- Name should reflect agent purpose
-- Filename becomes default agent name (if `name` not specified)
-- Allowed characters: `.`, `-`, `_`, `a-z`, `A-Z`, `0-9`
-
-## Agent Processing and Behavior
-
-### Versioning
-- Based on Git commit SHAs for the agent file
-- Create branches/tags for different agent versions
-- Instantiated using latest version for repository/branch
-- PR interactions use same agent version for consistency
-
-### Name Conflicts
-Priority (highest to lowest):
-1. Repository-level agent
-2. Organization-level agent
-3. Enterprise-level agent
-
-Lower-level configurations override higher-level ones with the same name.
-
-### Tool Processing
-- `tools` list filters available tools (built-in and MCP)
-- No tools specified = all tools enabled
-- Empty list (`[]`) = all tools disabled
-- Specific list = only those tools enabled
-- Unrecognized tool names are ignored (allows environment-specific tools)
-
-### MCP Server Processing Order
-1. Out-of-the-box MCP servers (e.g., GitHub MCP)
-2. Custom agent MCP configuration (org/enterprise only)
-3. Repository-level MCP configurations
-
-Each level can override settings from previous levels.
-

-# Azure DevOps Pipeline YAML Best Practices
-
-Guidelines for creating maintainable, secure, and efficient Azure DevOps pipelines in PowerToys.
-
-## General Guidelines
-
-- Use YAML syntax consistently with proper indentation (2 spaces)
-- Always include meaningful names and display names for pipelines, stages, jobs, and steps
-- Implement proper error handling and conditional execution
-- Use variables and parameters to make pipelines reusable and maintainable
-- Follow the principle of least privilege for service connections and permissions
-- Include comprehensive logging and diagnostics for troubleshooting
-
-## Pipeline Structure
-
-- Organize complex pipelines using stages for better visualization and control
-- Use jobs to group related steps and enable parallel execution when possible
-- Implement proper dependencies between stages and jobs
-- Use templates for reusable pipeline components
-- Keep pipeline files focused and modular - split large pipelines into multiple files
-
-## Build Best Practices
-
-- Use specific agent pool versions and VM images for consistency
-- Cache dependencies (npm, NuGet, Maven, etc.) to improve build performance
-- Implement proper artifact management with meaningful names and retention policies
-- Use build variables for version numbers and build metadata
-- Include code quality gates (lint checks, testing, security scans)
-- Ensure builds are reproducible and environment-independent
-
-## Testing Integration
-
-- Run unit tests as part of the build process
-- Publish test results in standard formats (JUnit, VSTest, etc.)
-- Include code coverage reporting and quality gates
-- Implement integration and end-to-end tests in appropriate stages
-- Use test impact analysis when available to optimize test execution
-- Fail fast on test failures to provide quick feedback
-
-## Security Considerations

-                    package: '$(Pipeline.Workspace)/drop/**/*.zip'
-```
-
-## Common Anti-Patterns to Avoid
-
-- Hardcoding sensitive values directly in YAML files
-- Using overly broad triggers that cause unnecessary builds
-- Mixing build and deployment logic in a single stage
-- Not implementing proper error handling and cleanup
-- Using deprecated task versions without upgrade plans
-- Creating monolithic pipelines that are difficult to maintain
-- Not using proper naming conventions for clarity
-- Ignoring pipeline security best practices

-# Common Libraries – Shared Code Guidance
-
-Guidelines for modifying shared code in `src/common/`. Changes here can have wide-reaching impact across the entire PowerToys codebase.
-
-## Scope
-
-- Logging infrastructure (`src/common/logger/`)
-- IPC primitives and named pipe utilities
-- Settings serialization and management
-- DPI awareness and scaling utilities
-- Telemetry helpers
-- General utilities (JSON parsing, string helpers, etc.)
-
-## Guidelines
-
-### API Stability
-
-- Avoid breaking public headers/APIs; if changed, search & update all callers
-- Coordinate ABI-impacting struct/class layout changes; keep binary compatibility
-- When modifying public interfaces, grep the entire codebase for usages
-
-### Performance
-
-- Watch perf in hot paths (hooks, timers, serialization)
-- Avoid avoidable allocations in frequently called code
-- Profile changes that touch performance-sensitive areas
-
-### Dependencies
-
-- Ask before adding third-party deps or changing serialization formats
-- New dependencies must be MIT-licensed or approved by PM team
-- Add any new external packages to `NOTICE.md`
-
-### Logging
-
-- C++ logging uses spdlog (`Logger::info`, `Logger::warn`, `Logger::error`, `Logger::debug`)
-- Initialize with `init_logger()` early in startup
-- Keep hot paths quiet – no logging in tight loops or hooks
-
-## Acceptance Criteria
-
-- No unintended ABI breaks
-- No noisy logs in hot paths
-- New non-obvious symbols briefly commented
-- All callers updated when interfaces change
-
-## Code Style
-
-- **C++**: Follow `.clang-format` in `src/`; use Modern C++ patterns per C++ Core Guidelines
-- **C#**: Follow `src/.editorconfig`; enforce StyleCop.Analyzers
-
-## Validation
-
-- Build: `tools\build\build.cmd` from `src/common/` folder
-- Verify no ABI breaks: grep for changed function/struct names across codebase
-- Check logs: ensure no new logging in performance-critical paths

-# Custom Instructions File Guidelines
-
-Instructions for creating effective and maintainable custom instruction files that guide GitHub Copilot in generating domain-specific code and following project conventions.
-
-## Project Context
-
-- Target audience: Developers and GitHub Copilot working with domain-specific code
-- File format: Markdown with YAML frontmatter
-- File naming convention: lowercase with hyphens (e.g., `react-best-practices.instructions.md`)
-- Location: `.github/instructions/` directory
-- Purpose: Provide context-aware guidance for code generation, review, and documentation
-
-## Required Frontmatter
-
-Every instruction file must include YAML frontmatter with the following fields:
-
-```yaml
----
-description: 'Brief description of the instruction purpose and scope'
-applyTo: 'glob pattern for target files (e.g., **/*.ts, **/*.py)'
----
-```
-
-### Frontmatter Guidelines
-
-- **description**: Single-quoted string, 1-500 characters, clearly stating the purpose
-- **applyTo**: Glob pattern(s) specifying which files these instructions apply to
-  - Single pattern: `'**/*.ts'`
-  - Multiple patterns: `'**/*.ts, **/*.tsx, **/*.js'`
-  - Specific files: `'src/**/*.py'`
-  - All files: `'**'`
-
-## File Structure
-
-A well-structured instruction file should include the following sections:
-
-### 1. Title and Overview
-
-- Clear, descriptive title using `#` heading
-- Brief introduction explaining the purpose and scope
-- Optional: Project context section with key technologies and versions
-
-### 2. Core Sections
-
-Organize content into logical sections based on the domain:
-
-- **General Instructions**: High-level guidelines and principles
-- **Best Practices**: Recommended patterns and approaches
-- **Code Standards**: Naming conventions, formatting, style rules
-- **Architecture/Structure**: Project organization and design patterns
-- **Common Patterns**: Frequently used implementations
-- **Security**: Security considerations (if applicable)
-- **Performance**: Optimization guidelines (if applicable)
-- **Testing**: Testing standards and approaches (if applicable)
-
-### 3. Examples and Code Snippets
-
-Provide concrete examples with clear labels:
-
-```markdown
-### Good Example
-\`\`\`language
-// Recommended approach
-code example here
-\`\`\`
-
-### Bad Example
-\`\`\`language
-// Avoid this pattern
-code example here
-\`\`\`
-```
-
-### 4. Validation and Verification (Optional but Recommended)
-
-- Build commands to verify code
-- Lint checks and formatting tools
-- Testing requirements
-- Verification steps
-
-## Content Guidelines
-
-### Writing Style
-
-- Use clear, concise language
-- Write in imperative mood ("Use", "Implement", "Avoid")
-- Be specific and actionable
-- Avoid ambiguous terms like "should", "might", "possibly"
-- Use bullet points and lists for readability
-- Keep sections focused and scannable
-
-### Best Practices
-
-- **Be Specific**: Provide concrete examples rather than abstract concepts
-- **Show Why**: Explain the reasoning behind recommendations when it adds value
-- **Use Tables**: For comparing options, listing rules, or showing patterns
-- **Include Examples**: Real code snippets are more effective than descriptions
-- **Stay Current**: Reference current versions and best practices
-- **Link Resources**: Include official documentation and authoritative sources
-
-### Common Patterns to Include
-
-1. **Naming Conventions**: How to name variables, functions, classes, files
-2. **Code Organization**: File structure, module organization, import order
-3. **Error Handling**: Preferred error handling patterns
-4. **Dependencies**: How to manage and document dependencies
-5. **Comments and Documentation**: When and how to document code
-6. **Version Information**: Target language/framework versions
-
-## Patterns to Follow
-
-### Bullet Points and Lists
-
-```markdown
-## Security Best Practices
-
-- Always validate user input before processing
-- Use parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection
-- Store secrets in environment variables, never in code
-- Implement proper authentication and authorization
-- Enable HTTPS for all production endpoints
-```
-
-### Tables for Structured Information
-
-```markdown
-## Common Issues
-
-| Issue            | Solution            | Example                       |
-| ---------------- | ------------------- | ----------------------------- |
-| Magic numbers    | Use named constants | `const MAX_RETRIES = 3`       |
-| Deep nesting     | Extract functions   | Refactor nested if statements |
-| Hardcoded values | Use configuration   | Store API URLs in config      |
-```
-
-### Code Comparison
-
-```markdown
-### Good Example - Using TypeScript interfaces
-\`\`\`typescript
-interface User {
-  id: string;
-  name: string;
-  email: string;
-}
-
-function getUser(id: string): User {
-  // Implementation
-}
-\`\`\`
-
-### Bad Example - Using any type
-\`\`\`typescript
-function getUser(id: any): any {
-  // Loses type safety
-}
-\`\`\`
-```
-
-### Conditional Guidance
-
-```markdown
-## Framework Selection
-
-- **For small projects**: Use Minimal API approach
-- **For large projects**: Use controller-based architecture with clear separation
-- **For microservices**: Consider domain-driven design patterns
-```
-
-## Patterns to Avoid
-
-- **Overly verbose explanations**: Keep it concise and scannable
-- **Outdated information**: Always reference current versions and practices
-- **Ambiguous guidelines**: Be specific about what to do or avoid
-- **Missing examples**: Abstract rules without concrete code examples
-- **Contradictory advice**: Ensure consistency throughout the file
-- **Copy-paste from documentation**: Add value by distilling and providing context
-
-## Testing Your Instructions
-
-Before finalizing instruction files:
-
-1. **Test with Copilot**: Try the instructions with actual prompts in VS Code
-2. **Verify Examples**: Ensure code examples are correct and run without errors
-3. **Check Glob Patterns**: Confirm `applyTo` patterns match intended files
-
-## Example Structure
-
-Here's a minimal example structure for a new instruction file:
-
-```markdown
----
-description: 'Brief description of purpose'
-applyTo: '**/*.ext'
----
-
-# Technology Name Development
-
-Brief introduction and context.
-
-## General Instructions
-
-- High-level guideline 1
-- High-level guideline 2
-
-## Best Practices
-
-- Specific practice 1

-
-### Pattern 2
-Description and example
-
-## Validation
-
-- Build command: `command to verify`
-- Lint checks: `command to lint`
-- Testing: `command to test`
-```
-
-## Maintenance

-# Copilot Prompt Files Guidelines
-
-Instructions for creating effective and maintainable prompt files that guide GitHub Copilot in delivering consistent, high-quality outcomes across any repository.
-
-## Scope and Principles
-- Target audience: maintainers and contributors authoring reusable prompts for Copilot Chat.
-- Goals: predictable behaviour, clear expectations, minimal permissions, and portability across repositories.
-- Primary references: VS Code documentation on prompt files and organization-specific conventions.
-
-## Frontmatter Requirements
-
-Every prompt file should include YAML frontmatter with the following fields:
-
-### Required/Recommended Fields
-
-| Field | Required | Description |
-|-------|----------|-------------|
-| `description` | Recommended | A short description of the prompt (single sentence, actionable outcome) |
-| `name` | Optional | The name shown after typing `/` in chat. Defaults to filename if not specified |
-| `agent` | Recommended | The agent to use: `ask`, `edit`, `agent`, or a custom agent name. Defaults to current agent |
-| `model` | Optional | The language model to use. Defaults to currently selected model |
-| `tools` | Optional | List of tool/tool set names available for this prompt |
-| `argument-hint` | Optional | Hint text shown in chat input to guide user interaction |
-
-### Guidelines
-
-- Use consistent quoting (single quotes recommended) and keep one field per line for readability and version control clarity
-- If `tools` are specified and current agent is `ask` or `edit`, the default agent becomes `agent`
-- Preserve any additional metadata (`language`, `tags`, `visibility`, etc.) required by your organization
-
-## File Naming and Placement
-- Use kebab-case filenames ending with `.prompt.md` and store them under `.github/prompts/` unless your workspace standard specifies another directory.
-- Provide a short filename that communicates the action (for example, `generate-readme.prompt.md` rather than `prompt1.prompt.md`).
-
-## Body Structure
-- Start with an `#` level heading that matches the prompt intent so it surfaces well in Quick Pick search.
-- Organize content with predictable sections. Recommended baseline: `Mission` or `Primary Directive`, `Scope & Preconditions`, `Inputs`, `Workflow` (step-by-step), `Output Expectations`, and `Quality Assurance`.
-- Adjust section names to fit the domain, but retain the logical flow: why → context → inputs → actions → outputs → validation.
-- Reference related prompts or instruction files using relative links to aid discoverability.
-
-## Input and Context Handling
-- Use `${input:variableName[:placeholder]}` for required values and explain when the user must supply them. Provide defaults or alternatives where possible.
-- Call out contextual variables such as `${selection}`, `${file}`, `${workspaceFolder}` only when they are essential, and describe how Copilot should interpret them.
-- Document how to proceed when mandatory context is missing (for example, “Request the file path and stop if it remains undefined”).
-
-## Tool and Permission Guidance
-- Limit `tools` to the smallest set that enables the task. List them in the preferred execution order when the sequence matters.
-- If the prompt inherits tools from a chat mode, mention that relationship and state any critical tool behaviours or side effects.
-- Warn about destructive operations (file creation, edits, terminal commands) and include guard rails or confirmation steps in the workflow.
-
-## Instruction Tone and Style
-- Write in direct, imperative sentences targeted at Copilot (for example, “Analyze”, “Generate”, “Summarize”).
-- Keep sentences short and unambiguous, following Google Developer Documentation translation best practices to support localization.
-- Avoid idioms, humor, or culturally specific references; favor neutral, inclusive language.
-
-## Output Definition
-- Specify the format, structure, and location of expected results (for example, “Create an architecture decision record file using the template below, such as `docs/architecture-decisions/record-XXXX.md`).
-- Include success criteria and failure triggers so Copilot knows when to halt or retry.
-- Provide validation steps—manual checks, automated commands, or acceptance criteria lists—that reviewers can execute after running the prompt.
-
-## Examples and Reusable Assets
-- Embed Good/Bad examples or scaffolds (Markdown templates, JSON stubs) that the prompt should produce or follow.
-- Maintain reference tables (capabilities, status codes, role descriptions) inline to keep the prompt self-contained. Update these tables when upstream resources change.
-- Link to authoritative documentation instead of duplicating lengthy guidance.
-
-## Quality Assurance Checklist
-- [ ] Frontmatter fields are complete, accurate, and least-privilege.
-- [ ] Inputs include placeholders, default behaviours, and fallbacks.
-- [ ] Workflow covers preparation, execution, and post-processing without gaps.
-- [ ] Output expectations include formatting and storage details.
-- [ ] Validation steps are actionable (commands, diff checks, review prompts).
-- [ ] Security, compliance, and privacy policies referenced by the prompt are current.
-- [ ] Prompt executes successfully in VS Code (`Chat: Run Prompt`) using representative scenarios.
-
-## Maintenance Guidance
-- Version-control prompts alongside the code they affect; update them when dependencies, tooling, or review processes change.
-- Review prompts periodically to ensure tool lists, model requirements, and linked documents remain valid.
-- Coordinate with other repositories: when a prompt proves broadly useful, extract common guidance into instruction files or shared prompt packs.

-
-# Runner & Settings UI – Core Components Guidance
-
-Guidelines for modifying the Runner (tray/module loader) and Settings UI (configuration app). These components communicate via Windows Named Pipes using JSON messages.
-
-## Runner (`src/runner/`)
-
-### Scope
-
-- Module bootstrap, hotkey management, settings bridge, update/elevation handling
-
-### Guidelines
-
-- If IPC/JSON contracts change, mirror updates in `src/settings-ui/**`
-- Keep module discovery in `src/runner/main.cpp` in sync when adding/removing modules
-- Keep startup lean: avoid blocking/network calls in early init path
-- Preserve GPO & elevation behaviors; confirm no regression in policy handling
-- Ask before modifying update workflow or elevation logic
-
-### Acceptance Criteria
-
-- Stable startup, consistent contracts, no unnecessary logging noise
-
-## Settings UI (`src/settings-ui/`)
-
-### Scope
-
-- WinUI/WPF UI, communicates with Runner over named pipes; manages persisted settings schema
-
-### Guidelines
-
-- Don't break settings schema silently; add migration when shape changes
-- If IPC/JSON contracts change, align with `src/runner/**` implementation
-- Keep UI responsive: marshal to UI thread for UI-bound operations
-- Reuse existing styles/resources; avoid duplicate theme keys
-- Add/adjust migration or serialization tests when changing persisted settings
-
-### Acceptance Criteria
-
-- Schema integrity preserved, responsive UI, consistent contracts, no style duplication
-
-## Shared Concerns
-
-### IPC Contract Changes
-
-When modifying the JSON message format between Runner and Settings UI:
-
-1. Update both `src/runner/` and `src/settings-ui/` in the same PR
-2. Preserve backward compatibility where possible
-3. Add migration logic for settings schema changes
-4. Test both directions of communication
-
-### Code Style
-
-- **C++ (Runner)**: Follow `.clang-format` in `src/`
-- **C# (Settings UI)**: Follow `src/.editorconfig`, use StyleCop.Analyzers
-- **XAML**: Use XamlStyler or run `.\.pipelines\applyXamlStyling.ps1 -Main`
-
-## Validation
-
-- Build Runner: `tools\build\build.cmd` from `src/runner/`
-- Build Settings UI: `tools\build\build.cmd` from `src/settings-ui/`
-- Test IPC: Launch both Runner and Settings UI, verify communication works
-- Schema changes: Run serialization tests if settings shape changed

-# Generate Commit Title
-
-**Goal:** Provide a ready-to-paste git commit title (<= 80 characters) that captures the most important local changes since `HEAD`.
-
-**Workflow:**
-1. Run a single command to view the local diff since the last commit:
-   ```@terminal
-   git diff HEAD
-   ```
-2. From that diff, identify the dominant area (reference key paths like `src/modules/*`, `doc/devdocs/**`, etc.), the type of change (bug fix, docs update, config tweak), and any notable impact.
-3. Draft a concise, imperative commit title summarizing the dominant change. Keep it plain ASCII, <= 80 characters, and avoid trailing punctuation. Mention the primary component when obvious (for example `FancyZones:` or `Docs:`).
-4. Respond with only the final commit title on a single line so it can be pasted directly into `git commit`.

----
-
-# Generate PR Summary
-
-**Goal:** Produce a ready-to-paste PR title and description that follows PowerToys conventions by comparing the current branch against a user-selected target branch.
-
-**Repo guardrails:**
-- Treat `.github/pull_request_template.md` as the single source of truth; load it at runtime instead of embedding hardcoded content in this prompt.
-- Preserve section order from the template but only surface checklist lines that are relevant for the detected changes, filling them with `[x]`/`[ ]` as appropriate.
-- Cite touched paths with inline backticks, matching the guidance in `.github/copilot-instructions.md`.
-- Call out test coverage explicitly: list automated tests run (unit/UI) or state why they are not applicable.
-
-**Workflow:**
-1. Determine the target branch from user context; default to `main` when no branch is supplied.
-2. Run `git status --short` once to surface uncommitted files that may influence the summary.
-3. Run `git diff <target-branch>...HEAD` a single time to review the detailed changes. Only when confidence stays low dig deeper with focused calls such as `git diff <target-branch>...HEAD -- <path>`.
-4. From the diff, capture impacted areas, key file changes, behavioral risks, migrations, and noteworthy edge cases.
-5. Confirm validation: list tests executed with results or state why tests were skipped in line with repo guidance.
-6. Load `.github/pull_request_template.md`, mirror its section order, and populate it with the gathered facts. Include only relevant checklist entries, marking them `[x]/[ ]` and noting any intentional omissions as "N/A".
-7. Present the filled template inside a fenced ```markdown code block with no extra commentary so it is ready to paste into a PR, clearly flagging any placeholders that still need user input.

-# Fix Spelling Comments
-
-**Goal:** Clear every outstanding GitHub pull request comment created by the `Code scanning / check-spelling` workflow by explicitly allowing intentional terms.
-
-**Guardrails:**
-- Update only discussion threads authored by `github-actions` or `github-actions[bot]` that mention `Code scanning results / check-spelling`.
-- Resolve findings solely by editing `.github/actions/spell-check/expect.txt`; reuse existing entries.
-- Leave all other files and topics untouched.
-
-**Prerequisites:**
-- Install GitHub CLI if it is not present: `winget install GitHub.cli`.
-- Run `gh auth login` once before the first CLI use.
-
-**Workflow:**
-1. Determine the active pull request with a single `gh pr view --json number` call (default to the current branch).
-2. Fetch all PR discussion data once via `gh pr view --json comments,reviews` and filter to check-spelling comments authored by `github-actions` or `github-actions[bot]` that are not minimized; when several remain, process only the most recent comment body.
-3. For each flagged token, review `.github/actions/spell-check/expect.txt` for an equivalent term (for example an existing lowercase variant); when found, reuse that normalized term rather than adding a new entry, even if the flagged token differs only by casing. Only add a new entry after confirming no equivalent already exists.
-4. Add any remaining missing token to `.github/actions/spell-check/expect.txt`, keeping surrounding formatting intact.

-Type/level: bug/feature/chore/docs/refactor/test-only; severity/value tier.
-
-## Suggested Actions
-Provide actionable recommendations for issue triage and assignment:
-
-### A) Requirement Clarification (if Clarity score <50)
-**When Requirement Clarity (Dimension D) is Medium or Low:**
-- Identify specific gaps in issue description: missing repro steps, unclear expected behavior, undefined acceptance criteria, missing non-functional requirements
-- Draft 3-5 clarifying questions to post as issue comment
-- Suggest additional information needed: screenshots, logs, environment details, OS version, PowerToys version, error messages
-- If behavior is ambiguous, propose 2-3 interpretation scenarios and ask reporter to confirm
-- Example questions:
-  - "Can you provide exact steps to reproduce this issue?"
-  - "What is the expected behavior vs. what you're actually seeing?"
-  - "Does this happen on Windows 10, 11, or both?"
-  - "Can you attach a screenshot or screen recording?"
-
-### B) Correct Label Suggestions
-- Analyze issue type, module, and severity to suggest missing or incorrect labels
-- Recommend labels from: `Issue-Bug`, `Issue-Feature`, `Issue-Docs`, `Issue-Task`, `Priority-High`, `Priority-Medium`, `Priority-Low`, `Needs-Triage`, `Needs-Author-Feedback`, `Product-<ModuleName>`, etc.
-- If Requirement Clarity is low (<50), add `Needs-Author-Feedback` label
-- If current labels are incorrect or incomplete, provide specific label changes with rationale
-
-### C) Find Similar Issues & Past Fixes
-- Search for similar issues using `gh issue list --search "keywords" --state all --json number,title,state,closedAt`
-- Identify patterns: duplicate issues, related bugs, or similar feature requests
-- For closed issues, find linked PRs that fixed them: check `linkedPullRequests` in issue data
-- Provide 3-5 examples of similar issues with format: `#<number> - <title> (closed by PR #<pr>)` or `(still open)`
-
-### D) Identify Subject Matter Experts
-- Use git blame/log to find who fixed similar issues in the past
-- Search for PR authors who touched relevant files: `git log --all --format='%aN' -- <file_paths> | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -5`
-- Check issue/PR history for frequent contributors to the affected module
-- Suggest 2-3 potential assignees with context: `@<username> - <reason>` (e.g., "fixed similar rendering bug in #12345", "maintains FancyZones module")
-
-### E) Semantic Search for Related Work
-- Use semantic_search tool to find similar issues, code patterns, or past discussions
-- Search queries should include: issue keywords, module names, error messages, feature descriptions
-- Cross-reference semantic results with GitHub issue search for comprehensive coverage

-# IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.MD
-1) **Problem Framing** — restate problem; current vs expected; scope boundaries.  
-2) **Layers & Files** — layers (UI/domain/data/infra/build). For each, list **files/dirs to modify** and **new files** (exact paths + why). Prefer repo patterns; cite examples/PRs.  
-3) **Pattern Choices** — reuse existing; if new, justify trade-offs & transition.  
-4) **Fundamentals** (brief plan or N/A + reason):
-- Performance (hot paths, allocs, caching/streaming)
-- Security (validation, authN/Z, secrets, SSRF/XSS/CSRF)
-- G11N/L10N (resources, number/date, pluralization)
-- Compatibility (public APIs, formats, OS/runtime/toolchain)
-- Extensibility (DI seams, options/flags, plugin points)
-- Accessibility (roles, labels, focus, keyboard, contrast)
-- SOLID & repo conventions (naming, folders, dependency direction)
-5) **Logging & Exception Handling**
-- Where to log; levels; structured fields; correlation/traces.
-- What to catch vs rethrow; retries/backoff; user-visible errors.
-- **Privacy**: never log secrets/PII; redaction policy.
-6) **Telemetry (optional — business metrics only)**
-- Events/metrics (name, when, props); success signal; privacy/sampling; dashboards/alerts.
-7) **Risks & Mitigations** — flags/canary/shadow-write/config guards.  
-8) **Task Breakdown (agent-ready)** — table (leave a blank line before the header so Markdown renders correctly):
-
-| Task | Intent | Files/Areas | Steps | Tests (brief) | Owner (Agent/Human) | Human interaction needed? (why) |
-|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-
-9) **Tests to Add (only)**
-- **Unit**: targets, cases (success/edge/error), mocks/fixtures, path, notes.  
-- **UI** (if applicable): flows, locator strategy, env/data/flags, path, flake mitigation.

-description: 'Perform a comprehensive PR review with per-step Markdown and machine-readable outputs'
----
-
-# Review Pull Request
-
-**Goal**: Given `{{pr_number}}`, run a *one-topic-per-step* review. Write files to `Generated Files/prReview/{{pr_number}}/` (replace `{{pr_number}}` with the integer). Emit machine‑readable blocks for a GitHub MCP to post review comments.
-
-## PR selection
-Resolve the target PR using these fallbacks in order:
-1. Parse the invocation text for an explicit identifier (first integer following patterns such as a leading hash and digits or the text `PR:` followed by digits).
-2. If no PR is found yet, locate the newest `Generated Files/prReview/_batch/batch-overview-*.md` file (highest timestamp in filename, fallback newest mtime) and take the first entry in its `## PRs` list whose review folder is missing `00-OVERVIEW.md` or contains `__error.flag`.
-3. If the batch file has no pending PRs, query assignments with `gh pr list --assignee @me --state open --json number,updatedAt --limit 20` and pick the most recently updated PR that does not already have a completed review folder.
-4. If still unknown, run `gh pr view --json number` in the current branch and use that result when it is unambiguous.
-5. If every step above fails, prompt the user for a PR number before proceeding.
-
-## Fetch PR data with `gh`
-- `gh pr view {{pr_number}} --json number,baseRefName,headRefName,baseRefOid,headRefOid,changedFiles,files`
-- `gh api repos/:owner/:repo/pulls/{{pr_number}}/files?per_page=250`  # patches for line mapping
-
-### Incremental review workflow
-1. **Check for existing review**: Read `Generated Files/prReview/{{pr_number}}/00-OVERVIEW.md`
-2. **Extract state**: Parse `Last reviewed SHA:` from review metadata section
-3. **Detect changes**: Run `Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1 -PullRequestNumber {{pr_number}} -LastReviewedCommitSha {{sha}}`
-4. **Analyze result**:
-   - `NeedFullReview: true` → Review all files in the PR
-   - `NeedFullReview: false` and `IsIncremental: true` → Review only files in `ChangedFiles` array
-   - `ChangedFiles` is empty → No changes, skip review (update iteration history with "No changes since last review")
-5. **Apply smart filtering**: Use the file patterns in smart step filtering table to skip irrelevant steps
-6. **Update metadata**: After completing review, save current `headRefOid` as `Last reviewed SHA:` in `00-OVERVIEW.md`
-
-### Reusable PowerShell scripts
-Scripts live in `.github/review-tools/` to avoid repeated manual approvals during PR reviews:
-
-| Script | Usage |
-| --- | --- |
-| `.github/review-tools/Get-GitHubRawFile.ps1` | Download a repository file at a given ref, optionally with line numbers. |
-| `.github/review-tools/Get-GitHubPrFilePatch.ps1` | Fetch the unified diff for a specific file within a pull request via `gh api`. |
-| `.github/review-tools/Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1` | Compare last reviewed SHA with current PR head to identify incremental changes. Returns JSON with changed files, new commits, and whether full review is needed. |
-| `.github/review-tools/Test-IncrementalReview.ps1` | Test helper to preview incremental review detection for a PR. Use before running full review to see what changed. |
-
-Always prefer these scripts (or new ones added under `.github/review-tools/`) over raw `gh api` or similar shell commands so the review flow does not trigger interactive approval prompts.
-
-## Output files
-Folder: `Generated Files/prReview/{{pr_number}}/`
-Files: `00-OVERVIEW.md`, `01-functionality.md`, `02-compatibility.md`, `03-performance.md`, `04-accessibility.md`, `05-security.md`, `06-localization.md`, `07-globalization.md`, `08-extensibility.md`, `09-solid-design.md`, `10-repo-patterns.md`, `11-docs-automation.md`, `12-code-comments.md`, `13-copilot-guidance.md` *(only if guidance md exists).* 
-- **Write-after-step rule:** Immediately after completing each TODO step, persist that step's markdown file before proceeding to the next. Generate `00-OVERVIEW.md` only after every step file has been refreshed for the current run.
-
-## Iteration management
-- Determine the current review iteration by reading `00-OVERVIEW.md` (look for `Review iteration:`). If missing, assume iteration `1`.
-- Extract the last reviewed SHA from `00-OVERVIEW.md` (look for `Last reviewed SHA:` in the review metadata section). If missing, this is iteration 1.
-- **Incremental review detection**:
-  1. Call `.github/review-tools/Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1 -PullRequestNumber {{pr_number}} -LastReviewedCommitSha {{last_sha}}` to get delta analysis.
-  2. Parse the JSON result to determine if incremental review is possible (`IsIncremental: true`, `NeedFullReview: false`).
-  3. If force-push detected or first review, proceed with full review of all changed files.
-  4. If incremental, review only the files listed in `ChangedFiles` array and apply smart step filtering (see below).
-- Increment the iteration for each review run and propagate the new value to all step files and the overview.
-- Preserve prior iteration notes by keeping/expanding an `## Iteration history` section in each markdown file, appending the newest summary under `### Iteration <N>`.
-- Summaries should capture key deltas since the previous iteration so reruns can pick up context quickly.
-- **After review completion**, update `Last reviewed SHA:` in `00-OVERVIEW.md` with the current `headRefOid` and update the timestamp.
-
-### Smart step filtering (incremental reviews only)
-When performing incremental review, skip steps that are irrelevant based on changed file types:
-
-| File pattern | Required steps | Skippable steps |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `**/*.cs`, `**/*.cpp`, `**/*.h` | Functionality, Compatibility, Performance, Security, SOLID, Repo patterns, Code comments | (depends on files) |
-| `**/*.resx`, `**/Resources/*.xaml` | Localization, Globalization | Most others |
-| `**/*.md` (docs) | Docs & automation | Most others (unless copilot guidance) |
-| `**/*copilot*.md`, `.github/prompts/*.md` | Copilot guidance, Docs & automation | Most others |
-| `**/*.csproj`, `**/*.vcxproj`, `**/packages.config` | Compatibility, Security, Repo patterns | Localization, Globalization, Accessibility |
-| `**/UI/**`, `**/*View.xaml` | Accessibility, Localization | Performance (unless perf-sensitive controls) |
-
-**Default**: If uncertain or files span multiple categories, run all applicable steps. When in doubt, be conservative and review more rather than less.
-
-## TODO steps (one concern each)
-1) Functionality
-2) Compatibility
-3) Performance
-4) Accessibility
-5) Security
-6) Localization
-7) Globalization
-8) Extensibility
-9) SOLID principles
-10) Repo patterns
-11) Docs & automation coverage for the changes
-12) Code comments
-13) Copilot guidance (conditional): if changed folders contain `*copilot*.md` or `.github/prompts/*.md`, review diffs **against** that guidance and write `13-copilot-guidance.md` (omit if none).

-Write lines like: `01 Functionality — <OK|Issues|Skipped> (see 01-functionality.md)` … through step 13.
-Mark steps as "Skipped" when using incremental review smart filtering.
-
-## Iteration history
-- Maintain subsections titled `### Iteration N` mirroring the per-step convention with concise deltas and cross-links to the relevant step files.
-- For incremental reviews, list the specific files that changed and which commits were added.
-```
-
-## Line numbers & multi‑file issues
-- Map head‑side lines from `patch` hunks (`@@ -a,b +c,d @@` → new lines `+c..+c+d-1`).
-- For cross‑file issues: set the primary `"file"`, list others in `"related_files"`, and name them in `"body"`.
-
-## Posting (for MCP)
-- Parse all ```mcp-review-comment``` blocks across step files and post as PR review comments.
-- If posting isn’t available, still write all files.
-
-## Constraint
-Read/analyze only; don't modify code. Keep comments small, specific, and fix‑oriented.
-
-**Testing**: Use `.github/review-tools/Test-IncrementalReview.ps1 -PullRequestNumber 42374` to preview incremental detection before running full review.
-
-## Scratch cache for large PRs
-
-Create a local scratch workspace to progressively summarize diffs and reload state across runs.
-
-### Paths
-- Root: `Generated Files/prReview/{{pr_number}}/__tmp/`
-- Files:
-  - `index.jsonl` — append-only JSON Lines index of artifacts.
-  - `todo-queue.json` — pending items (files/chunks/steps).
-  - `rollup-<step>-v<N>.md` — iterative per-step aggregates.
-  - `file-<hash>.txt` — optional saved chunk text (when needed).
-
-### JSON schema (per line in `index.jsonl`)
-```json
-{"type":"chunk|summary|issue|crosslink",
- "path":"relative/file.ext","chunk_id":"f-12","step":"functionality|compatibility|...",
- "base_sha":"...", "head_sha":"...", "range":[start,end], "version":1,
- "notes":"short text or key:value map", "created_utc":"ISO8601"}
-```
-
-### Phases (stateful; resume-safe)
-0. **Discover** PR + SHAs: `gh pr view <PR> --json baseRefName,headRefName,baseRefOid,headRefOid,files`.
-1. **Chunk** each changed file (head): split into ~300–600 LOC or ~4k chars; stable `chunk_id` = hash(path+start).
-   - Save `chunk` records. Optionally write `file-<hash>.txt` for expensive chunks.
-2. **Summarize** per chunk: intent, APIs, risks per TODO step; emit `summary` records (≤600 tokens each).
-3. **Issues**: convert findings to machine-readable blocks and emit `issue` records (later rendered to step MD).
-4. **Rollups**: build/update `rollup-<step>-v<N>.md` from `summary`+`issue`. Keep prior versions.
-5. **Finalize**: write per-step files + `00-OVERVIEW.md` from rollups. Post comments via MCP if available.
-
-### Re-use & token limits
-- Always **reload** `index.jsonl` first; skip chunks with same `head_sha` and `range`.
-- **Incremental review optimization**: When `Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1` returns a subset of changed files, load only chunks from those files. Reuse existing chunks/summaries for unchanged files.
-- Prefer re-summarizing only changed chunks; merge chunk summaries → file summaries → step rollups.
-- When context is tight, load only the minimal chunk text (or its saved `file-<hash>.txt`) needed for a comment.
-
-### Original vs diff
-- Fetch base content when needed: prefer `git show <baseRefName>:<path>`; fallback `gh api repos/:owner/:repo/contents/<path>?ref=<base_sha>` (base64).
-- Use patch hunks from `gh api .../pulls/<PR>/files` to compute **head** line numbers.
-
-### Queue-driven loop
-- Seed `todo-queue.json` with all changed files.
-- Process: chunk → summarize → detect issues → roll up.
-- Append to `index.jsonl` after each step; never rewrite previous lines (append-only).
-
-### Hygiene
-- `__tmp/` is implementation detail; do not include in final artifacts.
-- It is safe to delete to force a clean pass; the next run rebuilds it.

-<#
-.SYNOPSIS
-    Detects changes between the last reviewed commit and current head of a pull request.
-
-.DESCRIPTION
-    This script compares a previously reviewed commit SHA with the current head of a pull request
-    to determine what has changed. It helps enable incremental reviews by identifying new commits
-    and modified files since the last review iteration.
-
-    The script handles several scenarios:
-    - First review (no previous SHA provided)
-    - No changes (current SHA matches last reviewed SHA)
-    - Force-push detected (last reviewed SHA no longer in history)
-    - Incremental changes (new commits added since last review)
-
-.PARAMETER PullRequestNumber
-    The pull request number to analyze.
-
-.PARAMETER LastReviewedCommitSha
-    The commit SHA that was last reviewed. If omitted, this is treated as a first review.
-
-.PARAMETER RepositoryOwner
-    The GitHub repository owner. Defaults to "microsoft".
-
-.PARAMETER RepositoryName
-    The GitHub repository name. Defaults to "PowerToys".
-
-.OUTPUTS
-    JSON object containing:
-    - PullRequestNumber: The PR number being analyzed
-    - CurrentHeadSha: The current head commit SHA
-    - LastReviewedSha: The last reviewed commit SHA (if provided)
-    - BaseRefName: Base branch name
-    - HeadRefName: Head branch name
-    - IsIncremental: Boolean indicating if incremental review is possible
-    - NeedFullReview: Boolean indicating if a full review is required
-    - ChangedFiles: Array of files that changed (filename, status, additions, deletions)
-    - NewCommits: Array of commits added since last review (sha, message, author, date)
-    - Summary: Human-readable description of changes
-
-.EXAMPLE
-    .\Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1 -PullRequestNumber 42374
-    Analyzes PR #42374 with no previous review (first review scenario).
-
-.EXAMPLE
-    .\Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1 -PullRequestNumber 42374 -LastReviewedCommitSha "abc123def456"
-    Compares current PR state against the last reviewed commit to identify incremental changes.
-
-.EXAMPLE
-    $changes = .\Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1 -PullRequestNumber 42374 -LastReviewedCommitSha "abc123" | ConvertFrom-Json
-    if ($changes.IsIncremental) { Write-Host "Can perform incremental review" }
-    Captures the output as a PowerShell object for further processing.

-<#
-.SYNOPSIS
-    Tests and previews incremental review detection for a pull request.
-
-.DESCRIPTION
-    This helper script validates the incremental review detection logic by analyzing an existing
-    PR review folder. It reads the last reviewed SHA from the overview file, compares it with
-    the current PR state, and displays detailed information about what has changed.
-    
-    This is useful for:
-    - Testing the incremental review system before running a full review
-    - Understanding what changed since the last review iteration
-    - Verifying that review metadata was properly recorded
-
-.PARAMETER PullRequestNumber
-    The pull request number to test incremental review detection for.
-
-.PARAMETER RepositoryOwner
-    The GitHub repository owner. Defaults to "microsoft".
-
-.PARAMETER RepositoryName
-    The GitHub repository name. Defaults to "PowerToys".
-
-.OUTPUTS
-    Colored console output displaying:
-    - Current and last reviewed commit SHAs
-    - Whether incremental review is possible
-    - List of new commits since last review
-    - List of changed files with status indicators
-    - Recommended review strategy
-
-.EXAMPLE
-    .\Test-IncrementalReview.ps1 -PullRequestNumber 42374
-    Tests incremental review detection for PR #42374.
-
-.EXAMPLE
-    .\Test-IncrementalReview.ps1 -PullRequestNumber 42374 -RepositoryOwner "myorg" -RepositoryName "myrepo"

-  "IsIncremental": true,
-  "NeedFullReview": false,
-  "ChangedFiles": [
-    {
-      "Filename": "src/modules/cmdpal/main.cpp",
-      "Status": "modified",
-      "Additions": 15,
-      "Deletions": 8,
-      "Changes": 23
-    }
-  ],
-  "NewCommits": [
-    {
-      "Sha": "def456",
-      "Message": "Fix memory leak",
-      "Author": "John Doe",
-      "Date": "2025-11-07T10:30:00Z"
-    }
-  ],
-  "Summary": "Incremental review: 1 new commit(s), 1 file(s) changed since SHA abc123d"
-}
-```
-
-**Scenarios Handled:**
-- **No LastReviewedCommitSha**: Returns `NeedFullReview: true` (first review)
-- **SHA matches current HEAD**: Returns empty `ChangedFiles` (no changes)
-- **Force-push detected**: Returns `NeedFullReview: true` (SHA not in history)
-- **Incremental changes**: Returns list of changed files and new commits
-
-### Test-IncrementalReview.ps1
-
-Helper script to test and preview incremental review detection before running the full review.
-
-**Purpose:** Validate incremental review functionality and preview what changed.
-
-**Parameters:**
-- `PullRequestNumber` (required): Pull request number
-- `RepositoryOwner` (optional): Repository owner. Default: "microsoft"
-- `RepositoryName` (optional): Repository name. Default: "PowerToys"
-
-**Usage:**
-```powershell
-.\Test-IncrementalReview.ps1 -PullRequestNumber 42374
-```
-
-**Output:** Colored console output showing:
-- Current and last reviewed SHAs
-- Whether incremental review is possible
-- List of new commits and changed files
-- Recommended review strategy
-
-## Workflow Integration
-
-These scripts integrate with the PR review prompt (`.github/prompts/review-pr.prompt.md`).
-
-### Typical Review Flow
-
-1. **Initial Review (Iteration 1)**
-   - Review prompt processes the PR
-   - Creates `Generated Files/prReview/{PR}/00-OVERVIEW.md`
-   - Includes review metadata section with current HEAD SHA
-
-2. **Subsequent Reviews (Iteration 2+)**
-   - Review prompt reads `00-OVERVIEW.md` to get last reviewed SHA
-   - Calls `Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1` to detect what changed
-   - If incremental:
-     - Reviews only changed files
-     - Skips irrelevant review steps (e.g., skip Localization if no `.resx` files changed)
-   - Uses `Get-GitHubPrFilePatch.ps1` to get patches for changed files
-   - Updates `00-OVERVIEW.md` with new SHA and iteration number
-
-### Manual Testing Workflow
-
-Preview changes before review:
-```powershell
-# Check what changed in PR #42374 since last review
-.\Test-IncrementalReview.ps1 -PullRequestNumber 42374
-
-# Get incremental changes programmatically
-$changes = .\Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1 -PullRequestNumber 42374 -LastReviewedCommitSha "abc123" | ConvertFrom-Json
-
-if (-not $changes.NeedFullReview) {
-    Write-Host "Only need to review $($changes.ChangedFiles.Count) files"
-    
-    # Review each changed file
-    foreach ($file in $changes.ChangedFiles) {
-        Write-Host "Reviewing $($file.Filename)..."
-        .\Get-GitHubPrFilePatch.ps1 -PullRequestNumber 42374 -FilePath $file.Filename
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Error Handling and Troubleshooting
-
-### Common Requirements
-
-All scripts:
-- Exit with code 1 on error
-- Write detailed error messages to stderr
-- Require `gh` CLI to be installed and authenticated
-
-### Common Issues
-
-**Error: "gh not found"**
-- **Solution**: Install GitHub CLI from https://cli.github.com/ and run `gh auth login`
-
-**Error: "Failed to query GitHub API"**
-- **Solution**: Verify `gh` authentication with `gh auth status`
-- **Solution**: Check PR number exists and you have repository access
-
-**Error: "PR not found"**
-- **Solution**: Verify the PR number is correct and still exists
-- **Solution**: Ensure repository owner and name are correct
-
-**Error: "SHA not found" or "Force-push detected"**
-- **Explanation**: Last reviewed SHA no longer exists in branch history (force-push occurred)
-- **Solution**: A full review is required; incremental review not possible
-
-**Tests show "FAIL" but functionality works**
-- **Explanation**: Some tests may show exit code failures even when logic is correct
-- **Solution**: Check test output message - if it says "Correctly detected", functionality is working
-
-**Error: "Could not find insertion point"**
-- **Explanation**: Overview file doesn't have expected "**Changed files:**" line
-- **Solution**: Verify overview file format is correct or regenerate it
-
-### Verification Checklist
-
-After setup, verify:
-- [ ] `Run-ReviewToolsTests.ps1` shows 9+ tests passing
-- [ ] `Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1` returns valid JSON
-- [ ] `Test-IncrementalReview.ps1` analyzes a PR without errors
-- [ ] `Get-GitHubRawFile.ps1` downloads files correctly
-- [ ] `Get-GitHubPrFilePatch.ps1` retrieves patches correctly
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### For Review Authors
-
-1. **Test before full review**: Use `Test-IncrementalReview.ps1` to preview changes 
-2. **Check for force-push**: Review the analysis output - force-pushes require full reviews
-3. **Smart step filtering**: Skip review steps for file types that didn't change
-
-### For Script Users
-
-1. **Use absolute paths**: When specifying folders, use absolute paths to avoid ambiguity
-2. **Check exit codes**: Scripts exit with code 1 on error - check `$LASTEXITCODE` in automation
-3. **Parse JSON output**: Use `ConvertFrom-Json` to work with structured output from `Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1`
-4. **Handle empty results**: Check `ChangedFiles.Count` before iterating
-
-### Performance Tips
-
-1. **Batch operations**: When reviewing multiple PRs, collect all PR numbers and process in batch
-2. **Cache raw files**: Download baseline files once and reuse for multiple comparisons
-3. **Filter early**: Use incremental detection to skip unnecessary file reviews
-4. **Parallel processing**: Consider processing independent PRs in parallel
-
-## Integration with AI Review Systems
-
-These tools are designed to work with AI-powered review systems:
-
-1. **Copilot Instructions**: This file serves as reference documentation for GitHub Copilot
-2. **Structured Output**: JSON output from scripts is easily parsed by AI systems
-3. **Incremental Intelligence**: AI can focus on changed files for more efficient reviews
-4. **Metadata Tracking**: Review iterations are tracked for context-aware suggestions
-
-### Example AI Integration
-
-```powershell
-# Get incremental changes
-$analysis = .\Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1 -PullRequestNumber $PR | ConvertFrom-Json
-
-# Feed to AI review system
-$reviewPrompt = @"
-Review the following changed files in PR #$PR:
-$($analysis.ChangedFiles | ForEach-Object { "- $($_.Filename) ($($_.Status))" } | Out-String)
-
-Focus on incremental changes only. Previous review was at SHA $($analysis.LastReviewedSha).
-"@
-
-# Execute AI review with context
-Invoke-AIReview -Prompt $reviewPrompt -Files $analysis.ChangedFiles
-```
-
-## Support and Further Information
-
-For detailed script documentation, use PowerShell's help system:
-```powershell
-Get-Help .\Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1 -Full
-Get-Help .\Test-IncrementalReview.ps1 -Detailed
-```
-
-Related documentation:
-- `.github/prompts/review-pr.prompt.md` - Complete review workflow guide
-- `doc/devdocs/` - PowerToys development documentation

-# PowerToys – AI Contributor Guide
-
-This is the top-level guidance for AI contributions to PowerToys. Keep changes atomic, follow existing patterns, and cite exact paths in PRs.
-
-## Overview
-
-PowerToys is a set of utilities for power users to tune and streamline their Windows experience.
-
-| Area | Location | Description |
-|------|----------|-------------|
-| Runner | `src/runner/` | Main executable, tray icon, module loader, hotkey management |
-| Settings UI | `src/settings-ui/` | WinUI/WPF configuration app communicating via named pipes |
-| Modules | `src/modules/` | Individual PowerToys utilities (each in its own subfolder) |
-| Common Libraries | `src/common/` | Shared code: logging, IPC, settings, DPI, telemetry, utilities |
-| Build Tools | `tools/build/` | Build scripts and automation |
-| Documentation | `doc/devdocs/` | Developer documentation |
-| Installer | `installer/` | WiX-based installer projects |
-
-For architecture details and module types, see [Architecture Overview](doc/devdocs/core/architecture.md).
-
-## Conventions
-
-For detailed coding conventions, see:
-- [Coding Guidelines](doc/devdocs/development/guidelines.md) – Dependencies, testing, PR management
-- [Coding Style](doc/devdocs/development/style.md) – Formatting, C++/C#/XAML style rules
-- [Logging](doc/devdocs/development/logging.md) – C++ spdlog and C# Logger usage
-
-### Component-Specific Instructions
-
-These instruction files are automatically applied when working in their respective areas:
-- [Runner & Settings UI](.github/instructions/runner-settings-ui.instructions.md) – IPC contracts, schema migrations
-- [Common Libraries](.github/instructions/common-libraries.instructions.md) – ABI stability, shared code guidelines
-
-## Build
-
-### Prerequisites
-
-- Visual Studio 2022 17.4+
-- Windows 10 1803+ (April 2018 Update or newer)
-- Initialize submodules once: `git submodule update --init --recursive`
-
-### Build Commands
-
-| Task | Command |
-|------|---------|
-| First build / NuGet restore | `tools\build\build-essentials.cmd` |
-| Build current folder | `tools\build\build.cmd` |
-| Build with options | `build.ps1 -Platform x64 -Configuration Release` |
-
-### Build Discipline
-
-1. One terminal per operation (build → test). Do not switch or open new ones mid-flow
-2. After making changes, `cd` to the project folder that changed (`.csproj`/`.vcxproj`)
-3. Use scripts to build: `tools/build/build.ps1` or `tools/build/build.cmd`
-4. For first build or missing NuGet packages, run `build-essentials.cmd` first
-5. **Exit code 0 = success; non-zero = failure** – treat this as absolute
-6. On failure, read the errors log: `build.<config>.<platform>.errors.log`
-7. Do not start tests or launch Runner until the build succeeds
-
-### Build Logs
-
-Located next to the solution/project being built:
-- `build.<configuration>.<platform>.errors.log` – errors only (check this first)
-- `build.<configuration>.<platform>.all.log` – full log
-- `build.<configuration>.<platform>.trace.binlog` – for MSBuild Structured Log Viewer
-
-For complete details, see [Build Guidelines](tools/build/BUILD-GUIDELINES.md).
-
-## Tests
-
-### Test Discovery
-
-- Find test projects by product code prefix (e.g., `FancyZones`, `AdvancedPaste`)
-- Look for sibling folders or 1-2 levels up named `<Product>*UnitTests` or `<Product>*UITests`
-
-### 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`** in this repo – use VS Test Explorer or vstest.console.exe
-
-### Test Types
-
-| Type | Requirements | Setup |
-|------|--------------|-------|
-| Unit Tests | Standard dev environment | None |
-| UI Tests | WinAppDriver v1.2.1, Developer Mode | Install from [WinAppDriver releases](https://github.com/microsoft/WinAppDriver/releases/tag/v1.2.1) |
-| Fuzz Tests | OneFuzz, .NET 8 | See [Fuzzing Tests](doc/devdocs/tools/fuzzingtesting.md) |
-
-### Test Discipline
-
-1. Add or adjust tests when changing behavior
-2. If tests skipped, state why (e.g., comment-only change, string rename)
-3. New modules handling file I/O or user input **must** implement fuzzing tests
-
-### Special Requirements
-
-- **Mouse Without Borders**: Requires 2+ physical computers (not VMs)
-- **Multi-monitor utilities**: Test with 2+ monitors, different DPI settings
-
-For UI test setup details, see [UI Tests](doc/devdocs/development/ui-tests.md).
-
-## Boundaries
-
-### Ask for Clarification When
-
-- Ambiguous spec after scanning relevant docs
-- Cross-module impact (shared enum/struct) is unclear
-- Security, elevation, or installer changes involved
-- GPO or policy handling modifications needed
-
-### Areas Requiring Extra Care
-
-| Area | Concern | Reference |
-|------|---------|-----------|
-| `src/common/` | ABI breaks | [Common Libraries Instructions](.github/instructions/common-libraries.instructions.md) |
-| `src/runner/`, `src/settings-ui/` | IPC contracts, schema | [Runner & Settings UI Instructions](.github/instructions/runner-settings-ui.instructions.md) |
-| Installer files | Release impact | Careful review required |
-| Elevation/GPO logic | Security | Confirm no regression in policy handling |
-
-### What NOT to Do
-
-- Don't merge incomplete features into main (use feature branches)
-- Don't break IPC/JSON contracts without updating both runner and settings-ui
-- Don't add noisy logs in hot paths
-- Don't introduce third-party deps without PM approval and `NOTICE.md` update
-
-## Validation Checklist
-
-Before finishing, verify:
-
-- [ ] Build clean with exit code 0
-- [ ] Tests updated and passing locally
-- [ ] No unintended ABI breaks or schema changes
-- [ ] IPC contracts consistent between runner and settings-ui
-- [ ] New dependencies added to `NOTICE.md`
-- [ ] PR is atomic (one logical change), with issue linked

Achieving agreement in a spec before writing code often results in simpler code and less wasted effort.
