-- Prepare GitHub release assets (download installers/symbols + compute hashes)
 
 ## Prerequisites
 
-- **GitHub CLI (`gh`) installed and authenticated** — The collection script uses `gh pr view` and `gh api graphql` to fetch PR metadata and co-author information. Run `gh auth status` to verify; if not logged in, run `gh auth login` first. See [Step 1.0.0](./references/step1-collection.md) for details.
-- MCP Server: github-mcp-server installed (used to fetch PR diffs/files for the local-agent review step)
-- For [prepare-release-assets.ps1](./scripts/prepare-release-assets.ps1) only: **Azure CLI** authenticated against the Microsoft tenant (`az login`) with the `azure-devops` extension; access to the `microsoft/Dart` ADO project
+- GitHub CLI (`gh`) installed and authenticated
+- MCP Server: github-mcp-server installed
+- GitHub Copilot code review enabled for the org/repo

+## 3.1 Request Copilot Reviews (Agent Mode)
 
-> ⚠️ **Do not use `mcp_github_request_copilot_review` (or any "request Copilot review" tool that calls the GitHub API).**
-> When this skill is driven from a CLI / coding agent, the request is made from a bot identity and the GitHub API rejects it ("Bot reviewers cannot be requested"). The PR ends up with no Copilot review and `CopilotSummary` stays empty.
->
-> Instead, **the local agent that is running this skill performs the review itself** and writes the summary directly into `sorted_prs.csv`.
+Use MCP tools to request Copilot reviews for all PRs in `Generated Files/ReleaseNotes/sorted_prs.csv`:
 
-For every PR listed in `Generated Files/ReleaseNotes/sorted_prs.csv` whose `CopilotSummary` is empty:
-
-1. Fetch the PR diff using a tool that does **not** post anything back to GitHub. Any of these works:
-    - `mcp_github_pull_request_read` with `method: get_diff`
-    - `mcp_github_pull_request_read` with `method: get_files` (when the diff is large)
-    - `gh pr diff <PR_NUMBER> --repo microsoft/PowerToys`
-2. Read the PR title, body, and diff. Produce a 1–3 sentence, user-facing summary in the same style as a Copilot PR review (focus on observable behavior change, not implementation details).
-3. Write the summary into the `CopilotSummary` column for that PR row in `Generated Files/ReleaseNotes/sorted_prs.csv`. Preserve all other columns and the existing row order.
-
-**Batching guidance**
-
-- Process PRs in the order they appear in `sorted_prs.csv`.
-- Generate summaries for **all** PRs in one pass before continuing to Step 3.3, so the human reviewer can validate them together.
-- For very large diffs, summarize from `get_files` (filenames + per-file patches) rather than the full diff.
-- Skip PRs that already have a non-empty `CopilotSummary` (e.g. PRs where a human reviewer already pasted one). Do not overwrite existing summaries.
-
-**Why not post the summary back to the PR?** Posting a comment from the agent's identity would not be picked up by `dump-prs-since-commit.ps1` (which only matches Copilot bot authors), and it adds noise to the PR. Writing straight into the CSV keeps the artifact self-contained.

-# 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.

-# 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.

-## Quick Reference Tables
-
-### Namespace Mapping
-
-| WPF | WinUI 3 |
-|-----|---------|
-| `System.Windows` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml` |
-| `System.Windows.Controls` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls` |
-| `System.Windows.Media` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Media` |
-| `System.Windows.Media.Imaging` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Media.Imaging` (UI) / `Windows.Graphics.Imaging` (processing) |
-| `System.Windows.Input` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Input` |
-| `System.Windows.Data` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Data` |
-| `System.Windows.Threading` | `Microsoft.UI.Dispatching` |
-| `System.Windows.Interop` | `WinRT.Interop` |
-
-### Critical API Replacements
-
-| WPF | WinUI 3 | Notes |
-|-----|---------|-------|
-| `Dispatcher.Invoke()` | `DispatcherQueue.TryEnqueue()` | Different return type (`bool`) |
-| `Dispatcher.CheckAccess()` | `DispatcherQueue.HasThreadAccess` | Property vs method |
-| `Application.Current.Dispatcher` | Store `DispatcherQueue` in static field | See [Threading](./references/threading-and-windowing.md) |
-| `MessageBox.Show()` | `ContentDialog` | Must set `XamlRoot` |
-| `DynamicResource` | `ThemeResource` | Theme-reactive only |
-| `clr-namespace:` | `using:` | XAML namespace prefix |
-| `{x:Static props:Resources.Key}` | `x:Uid` or `ResourceLoader.GetString()` | .resx → .resw |
-| `DataType="{x:Type m:Foo}"` | Remove or use code-behind | `x:Type` not supported |
-| `Properties.Resources.MyString` | `ResourceLoaderInstance.ResourceLoader.GetString("MyString")` | Lazy-init pattern |
-| `Application.Current.MainWindow` | Custom `App.Window` static property | Must track manually |
-| `SizeToContent="Height"` | Custom `SizeToContent()` via `AppWindow.Resize()` | See [Windowing](./references/threading-and-windowing.md) |
-| `MouseLeftButtonDown` | `PointerPressed` | Mouse → Pointer events |
-| `Pack URI (pack://...)` | `ms-appx:///` | Resource URI scheme |
-| `Observable` (custom base) | `ObservableObject` + `[ObservableProperty]` | CommunityToolkit.Mvvm |
-| `RelayCommand` (custom) | `[RelayCommand]` source generator | CommunityToolkit.Mvvm |
-| `JpegBitmapEncoder` | `BitmapEncoder.CreateAsync(JpegEncoderId, stream)` | Async, unified API |
-| `encoder.QualityLevel = 85` | `BitmapPropertySet { "ImageQuality", 0.85f }` | int 1-100 → float 0-1 |
-
-### NuGet Package Migration
-
-| WPF | WinUI 3 |
-|-----|---------|
-| `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.WindowsAppSDK` |
-| (none) | `Microsoft.Windows.SDK.BuildTools` |
-| (none) | `WinUIEx` (optional, for window helpers) |
-| (none) | `CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Converters` |
-
-### XAML Syntax Changes
-
-| WPF | WinUI 3 |
-|-----|---------|
-| `xmlns:local="clr-namespace:MyApp"` | `xmlns:local="using:MyApp"` |
-| `{DynamicResource Key}` | `{ThemeResource Key}` |
-| `{x:Static Type.Member}` | `{x:Bind}` or code-behind |
-| `{x:Type local:MyType}` | Not supported |
-| `<Style.Triggers>` / `<DataTrigger>` | `VisualStateManager` |
-| `{Binding}` in `Setter.Value` | Not supported — use `StaticResource` |
-| `Content="{x:Static p:Resources.Cancel}"` | `x:Uid="Cancel"` with `.Content` in `.resw` |
-| `<ui:FluentWindow>` / `<ui:Button>` (WPF-UI) | Native `<Window>` / `<Button>` |
-| `<ui:NumberBox>` / `<ui:ProgressRing>` (WPF-UI) | Native `<NumberBox>` / `<ProgressRing>` |
-| `BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type ui:Button}}"` | `BasedOn="{StaticResource DefaultButtonStyle}"` |
-| `IsDefault="True"` / `IsCancel="True"` | `Style="{StaticResource AccentButtonStyle}"` / handle via KeyDown |
-| `<AccessText>` | Not available — use `AccessKey` property |
-| `<behaviors:Interaction.Triggers>` | Migrate to code-behind or WinUI behaviors |

-## 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 |

-## Root Namespace Mapping
-
-| WPF Namespace | WinUI 3 Namespace |
-|---------------|-------------------|
-| `System.Windows` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml` |
-| `System.Windows.Automation` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Automation` |
-| `System.Windows.Automation.Peers` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Automation.Peers` |

-| `System.Windows.Shapes` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Shapes` |
-| `System.Windows.Threading` | `Microsoft.UI.Dispatching` |
-| `System.Windows.Interop` | `WinRT.Interop` |
-
-## Core Type Mapping
-
-| WPF Type | WinUI 3 Type |
-|----------|-------------|
-| `System.Windows.Application` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Application` |
-| `System.Windows.Window` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Window` (NOT a DependencyObject) |
-| `System.Windows.DependencyObject` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.DependencyObject` |
-| `System.Windows.DependencyProperty` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.DependencyProperty` |
-| `System.Windows.FrameworkElement` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.FrameworkElement` |

-| `System.Windows.Media.Color` | `Windows.UI.Color` (note: `Windows.UI`, not `Microsoft.UI`) |
-| `System.Windows.Media.Colors` | `Microsoft.UI.Colors` |
-
-## Controls Mapping
-
-### Direct Mapping (namespace-only change)
-
-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>

-### 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.

-| `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)
-```

-## 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 -->
-<TextBox Text="{x:Bind ViewModel.Value, Mode=TwoWay}" />
-
-{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, ...}
-<!-- WinUI 3: Use x:Bind which binds to the page itself, or use ElementName -->
-
-<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding}" />
-<!-- WinUI 3: Must specify explicit path -->
-<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{x:Bind ViewModel.Items}" />
-```
-
-## 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  -->`

-  # (env var > VS-shipped > deps/vcpkg runtime clone).

-### To spec or not to spec
+### To Spec or Not to Spec
 
 A key point is for everyone to understand the approach that will be taken. We want to be sure that any work done will be accepted. Larger-scope items will require a spec to outline the approach and allow for discussion. Specs help collaborators consider different solutions, describe feature behavior, and plan for errors. Achieving agreement in a spec before writing code often results in simpler code and less wasted effort.
 
 Once a team member has agreed with your approach, proceed to the "Development" section below. Team members are happy to help review specs and guide them to completion.

+# Advanced Paste – Python Scripts
+
+Advanced Paste supports user-defined Python scripts that transform clipboard content. Scripts are
+discovered automatically from a configurable folder and appear as actions in the Advanced Paste UI.
+
+## Quick start
+
+1. Open the scripts folder — by default `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\AdvancedPaste\Scripts`.
+   You can change this in **Settings → Advanced Paste → Python scripts → Scripts folder**.
+2. Drop a `.py` file into the folder.
+3. Add the required header comments at the top (see [Header format](#header-format)).
+4. Open the Advanced Paste UI (`Win+Shift+V`) — your script will appear in the action list.
+
+## Header format
+
+Every script must start with one or more **header comment lines**. Each line follows the pattern:
+
+```
+# @advancedpaste:<tag>   <value>
+```
+
+The parser reads the first 50 lines of each file; only lines beginning with `#` are inspected.
+
+### Supported tags
+
+| Tag | Required | Description |
+|-----|----------|-------------|
+| `name` | **Yes** | Display name shown in the Advanced Paste UI. |
+| `desc` | No | Short description / tooltip. |
+| `formats` | No | Comma-separated list of supported clipboard formats. Defaults to **all** formats when omitted. |
+| `platform` | No | `windows` (default) or `linux`. Determines the execution mode (see below). |
+| `version` | No | Free-form version string (reserved for future use). |
+| `requires` | No | Space-separated Python package requirements. See [Declaring dependencies](#declaring-dependencies). |
+
+### Formats
+
+| Value | Clipboard content |
+|-------|--------------------|
+| `text` | Plain or Unicode text (`CF_UNICODETEXT`) |
+| `html` | HTML fragment (`CF_HTML`) |
+| `image` | Bitmap / PNG image |
+| `audio` | Audio file(s) |
+| `video` | Video file(s) |
+| `files` or `file` | File paths (`CF_HDROP` / `StorageItems`) |
+| `any` | All of the above |
+
+Multiple values can be combined with commas:
+
+```python
+# @advancedpaste:formats text,html
+```
+
+## Execution modes
+
+### Windows mode (`platform windows`)
+
+The script runs directly on Windows via the configured Python interpreter.
+It **owns the clipboard** — use a library like `pywin32` (`win32clipboard`) to read
+and write clipboard data.
+
+**Invocation:**
+
+```
+python.exe "<script.py>" --format <detected_format> --work-dir "<temp_dir>"
+```
+
+**Minimal example — reverse text:**
+
+```python
+# @advancedpaste:name   Reverse text
+# @advancedpaste:formats text
+# @advancedpaste:platform windows
+import win32clipboard
+
+win32clipboard.OpenClipboard()
+text = win32clipboard.GetClipboardData(win32clipboard.CF_UNICODETEXT)
+win32clipboard.EmptyClipboard()
+win32clipboard.SetClipboardData(win32clipboard.CF_UNICODETEXT, text[::-1])
+win32clipboard.CloseClipboard()
+```
+
+After the script exits with code 0, Advanced Paste re-reads the clipboard and pastes
+the result. A non-zero exit code signals failure; stderr is shown in the error UI.
+
+### WSL / Linux mode (`platform linux`)
+
+The script runs inside WSL via `wsl.exe bash -l -c "python3 -X utf8 <script>"`.
+Instead of direct clipboard access, data is exchanged via **JSON**:
+
+| Direction | Channel | Schema |
+|-----------|---------|--------|
+| **Input** (C# → Python) | `stdin` (JSON) | See [Input payload](#input-payload) |
+| **Output** (Python → C#) | `stdout` (JSON) | See [Output payload](#output-payload) |
+
+#### Input payload
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "version": 2,
+  "format": ["text"],           // array of detected clipboard format names
+  "work_dir": "/mnt/c/...",     // writable temp directory (WSL path)
+  "text": "Hello, world!",      // present when clipboard has text
+  "html": "<b>Hello</b>",       // present when clipboard has HTML
+  "image_path": "/mnt/c/.../input.png",  // present when clipboard has an image
+  "file_paths": ["/mnt/c/.../file.txt"]  // present when clipboard has files
+}
+```
+
+#### Output payload
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "result_type": "text",        // "text" | "html" | "image" | "file" | "files"
+  "text": "HELLO, WORLD!",     // for result_type "text"
+  "html": "<b>HELLO</b>",      // for result_type "html"
+  "image_path": "/mnt/c/.../output.png",  // for result_type "image"
+  "file_paths": ["/mnt/c/.../out.txt"]    // for result_type "file"/"files"
+}
+```
+
+> **Note:** File paths in the output must use `/mnt/<drive>/...` format so that
+> Advanced Paste can map them back to Windows paths.
+
+**Minimal example — uppercase text (WSL):**
+
+```python
+# @advancedpaste:name   WSL Upper Case
+# @advancedpaste:formats text
+# @advancedpaste:platform linux
+import sys, json
+
+data = json.load(sys.stdin)
+text = data.get("text", "")
+json.dump({"result_type": "text", "text": text.upper()}, sys.stdout)
+```
+
+## Declaring dependencies
+
+Use `requires` to declare Python packages the script needs:
+
+```python
+# @advancedpaste:requires markitdown='markitdown[all]'
+# @advancedpaste:requires cv2=opencv-python-headless numpy requests
+```
+
+Each token is either:
+
+- **`import_name`** — the pip package is assumed to have the same name (e.g. `requests`).
+- **`import_name=pip_package`** — when the import name differs from the pip package
+  (e.g. `cv2=opencv-python-headless`, `PIL=Pillow`).
+
+Multiple tokens on one line are space-separated. You can also use multiple `requires` lines.
+
+### Automatic import detection
+
+Advanced Paste also scans the script body for `import` and `from ... import` statements
+and cross-references them against the Python standard library. Any non-stdlib import
+that is not already installed triggers a prompt to install it automatically.
+
+A built-in mapping table handles common mismatches (e.g. `win32clipboard` → `pywin32`,
+`cv2` → `opencv-python`, `PIL` → `Pillow`). For uncommon packages where the import name
+differs from the pip name, add an explicit `requires` entry.
+
+## Security — script trust
+
+The first time a script is executed (or after it has been modified), Advanced Paste
+shows a confirmation dialog. Upon approval the SHA-256 hash of the script is stored.
+Subsequent runs of the unchanged file skip the dialog.
+
+## Error handling
+
+When a script fails, Advanced Paste extracts the Python traceback from stderr and
+displays a user-friendly summary in the UI:
+
+- **ModuleNotFoundError** — identifies the missing module and suggests installing it.
+- **SyntaxError** — shows the file and line number.
+- **Timeout** — shows the configured timeout value (default 30 s; configurable in Settings).
+- **Other errors** — shows the last line of the traceback as a summary, with the full
+  traceback available in the expandable *Details* section.
+
+## Settings
+
+The following settings are available under **Settings → Advanced Paste → Python scripts**:
+
+| Setting | Description | Default |
+|---------|-------------|---------|
+| Python interpreter | Path to the Python executable. Leave blank for auto-detection. | *(auto-detect)* |
+| Scripts folder | Folder to scan for `.py` scripts. | `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\AdvancedPaste\Scripts` |
+
+## Tips
+
+- Put reusable helper functions in a separate `.py` file without a `# @advancedpaste:name`
+  header — it will be ignored by the script discovery and can be imported by other scripts.
+- For complex WSL scripts that need packages not available via `apt`, consider using
+  a virtual environment. The script can re-exec itself with the venv interpreter:
+  ```python
+  import os, sys
+  venv = os.path.expanduser("~/my_env/bin/python3")
+  if os.path.exists(venv) and sys.executable != venv:
+      os.execv(venv, [venv] + sys.argv)
+  ```
+- The `--work-dir` argument (Windows mode) and `work_dir` JSON field (WSL mode) point to
+  a temporary directory that is cleaned up after execution. Use it for intermediate files.

+## Code Structure
 
-## Project Structure
+![Diagram](../images/shortcutguide/diagram.png)
 
-The Shortcut Guide module consists of the following 4 projects:
+### Core Files
 
-### [`ShortcutGuide.Ui`](/src/modules/ShortcutGuide/ShortcutGuide.Ui/ShortcutGuide.Ui.csproj
+#### [`dllmain.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/dllmain.cpp)
+Contains DLL boilerplate code. Implements the PowertoyModuleIface, including enable/disable functionality and GPO policy handling. Captures hotkey events and starts the PowerToys.ShortcutGuide.exe process to display the shortcut guide window.
 
-This is the main UI project for the Shortcut Guide module. Upon startup it does the following tasks:
+#### [`shortcut_guide.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/shortcut_guide.cpp)
+Contains the module interface code. It initializes the settings values and the keyboard event listener. Defines the OverlayWindow class, which manages the overall logic and event handling for the PowerToys Shortcut Guide.
 
-1. Copies the built-in manifest files to the users manifest directory (overwriting existing files).
-2. Generate the `index.yml` manifest file.
-3. Populate the PowerToys shortcut manifest with the user-defined shortcuts.
-4. Starts the UI.
+#### [`overlay_window.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/overlay_window.cpp)
+Contains the code for loading the SVGs, creating and rendering of the overlay window. Manages and displays overlay windows with SVG graphics through two main classes:
+- D2DOverlaySVG: Handles loading, resizing, and manipulation of SVG graphics
+- D2DOverlayWindow: Manages the display and behavior of the overlay window
 
-### Related files in PowerToys.Interop
+#### [`keyboard_state.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/keyboard_state.cpp)
+Contains helper methods for checking the current state of the keyboard.
 
-#### [`excluded_app.cpp`](/src/modules/ShortcutGuide/ShortcutGuide.CPPProject/excluded_app.cpp)
+#### [`target_state.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/target_state.cpp)
+State machine that handles the keyboard events. It's responsible for deciding when to show the overlay, when to suppress the Start menu (if the overlay is displayed long enough), etc. Handles state transitions and synchronization to ensure the overlay is shown or hidden appropriately based on user interactions.
 
-This file contains one function with the following signature:
+#### [`trace.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/trace.cpp)
+Contains code for telemetry.
 
-```cpp
-__declspec(dllexport) bool IsCurrentWindowExcludedFromShortcutGuide()
-```
+### Supporting Files
 
-This function checks if the current window is excluded from the Shortcut Guide overlay. It returns `true` if the current window is excluded otherwise it returns `false`.
+#### [`animation.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/animation.cpp)
+Handles the timing and interpolation of animations. Calculates the current value of an animation based on elapsed time and a specified easing function.
 
-#### [`tasklist_positions.cpp`](/src/modules/ShortcutGuide/ShortcutGuide.CPPProject/tasklist_positions.cpp)
+#### [`d2d_svg.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/d2d_svg.cpp)
+Provides functionality for loading, resizing, recoloring, rendering, and manipulating SVG images using Direct2D.
 
-This file contains helper functions to retrieve the positions of the taskbar buttons. It exports the following function:
+#### [`d2d_text.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/d2d_text.cpp)
+Handles creation, resizing, alignment, and rendering of text using Direct2D and DirectWrite.
 
-```cpp
-__declspec(dllexport) TasklistButton* get_buttons(HMONITOR monitor, int* size)
-```
+#### [`d2d_window.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/d2d_window.cpp)
+Manages a window using Direct2D and Direct3D for rendering. Handles window creation, resizing, rendering, and destruction.
 
-This function retrieves the positions of the taskbar buttons for a given monitor. It returns an array of `TasklistButton` structures (max 10), which contain the position and size of each button.
+#### [`native_event_waiter.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/native_event_waiter.cpp)
+Waits for a named event and executes a specified action when the event is triggered. Uses a separate thread to handle event waiting and action execution.
 
-`monitor` must be the monitor handle of the monitor containing the taskbar instance of which the buttons should be retrieved.
+#### [`tasklist_positions.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/tasklist_positions.cpp)
+Handles retrieving and updating the positions and information of taskbar buttons in Windows.
 
-`size` will contain the resulting array size.
-
-It determines the positions through Windows `FindWindowEx` function.
-For the primary taskbar it searches for:
-* A window called "Shell_TrayWnd"
-* that contains a window called "ReBarWindow32"
-* that contains a window called "MSTaskSwWClass"
-* that contains a window called "MSTaskListWClass"
-
-For any secondary taskbar it searches for:
-* A window called "Shell_SecondaryTrayWnd"
-* that contains a window called "WorkerW"
-* that contains a window called "MSTaskListWClass"
-
-It then enumerates all the button elements inside "MSTaskListWClass" while skipping such with a same name (which implies the user does not use combining taskbar buttons) 
-
-If this method fails, which it will for newer versions of Windows, it falls back to searching for:
-* A window called "Shell_TrayWnd" or "Shell_SecondaryTrayWnd"
-* that contains a window called "Windows.UI.Composition.DesktopWindowContentBridge"
-* that contains a window called "Windows.UI.Input.InputSite.WindowClass"
-* the first child element
-
-It then enumerates all the button elements inside the selected while skipping such with a same name (which implies the user does not use combining taskbar buttons) and such that do not start with "Appid:" (which are not actual taskbar buttons related to apps, but others like the widgets or the search button).
-
-### [`ShortcutGuide.IndexYmlGenerator`](/src/modules/ShortcutGuide/ShortcutGuide.IndexYmlGenerator/)
-
-This application generates the `index.yml` manifest file.
-
-It is a separate project so that its code can be easier ported to WinGet in the future.
-
-### [`ShortcutGuideModuleInterface`](/src/modules/ShortcutGuide/ShortcutGuideModuleInterface/ShortcutGuideModuleInterface.vcxproj)
-
-The module interface that handles opening and closing the user interface.
+#### [`main.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/main.cpp)
+The entry point for the PowerToys Shortcut Guide application. Handles initialization, ensures single instance execution, manages parent process termination, creates and displays the overlay window, and runs the main event loop.
 
 ## Features and Limitations
 
-- Currently the displayed shortcuts (Except the ones from PowerToys) are not localized.
+- The overlay displays Windows shortcuts (Windows key combinations)
+- The module supports localization, but only for the Windows controls on the left side of the overlay
 - It's currently rated as a P3 (lower priority) module
 
 ## Future Development
 
-- Implementing with WinGet to get new shortcut manifest files
-- Adding localization support for the built-in manifest files
+A community-contributed version 2 is in development that will support:
+- Application-specific shortcuts based on the active application
+- Additional shortcuts beyond Windows key combinations
+- PowerToys shortcuts

-
-## Symptom: Old update installers accumulating on disk
-
-### What to ask the user for
-
-1. Contents of `UpdateState.json`
-2. Runner logs (last few days from `RunnerLogs\`)
-3. Update logs (from `UpdateLogs\`, if they exist)
-4. List of files in `Updates\` folder (names + sizes)
-
-### Step 1: Check the running version
-
-In runner logs, look for the startup line:
-
-```
-[info] Scoobe: product_version=v0.XX.X last_version_run=v0.XX.X
-```
-
-- **If version < v0.73.0**: The pre-download cleanup (PR #27908) is missing. Each downloaded installer accumulates because cleanup only runs at startup when state is `upToDate`. Ask the user to manually upgrade to the latest version.
-- **If version >= v0.73.0**: The pre-download cleanup exists. Accumulation should not happen under normal conditions. Continue to Step 2.
-
-### Step 2: Check UpdateState.json
-
-```jsonc
-{"state": 3, "downloadedInstallerFilename": "powertoyssetup-0.98.1-x64.exe" /* additional fields may be present */}
-```
-
-- **state = 0 (upToDate)**: Cleanup should run at startup. If files are accumulating, check runner logs for "Failed to delete" warnings (Step 4).
-- **state = 3 (readyToInstall)**: An installer is downloaded but never installed. Cleanup at startup is skipped (by design, to preserve the pending installer). On v0.73+, cleanup can still occur when a future update check triggers a new download (pre-download cleanup path).
-- **state = 1 (errorDownloading)**: A previous download or install failed. Startup cleanup is skipped (state is not `upToDate`). On v0.73+, cleanup runs before the next installer download is attempted.
-- **state = 2 or 4**: Startup cleanup is skipped. On v0.73+, cleanup runs before the next installer download is attempted.
-
-### Step 3: Check if PowerToys.Update.exe has ever run
-
-- **UpdateLogs directory missing**: This suggests `PowerToys.Update.exe` may never have been launched, or it did not progress far enough to create logs. The user may never have triggered an install, or Stage 1 may have failed before Stage 2 could run.
-- **UpdateLogs exist but show only "logger is initialized"**: The exe launched but the command-line argument didn't match any action (possible argument parsing issue).
-- **UpdateLogs show install activity**: The update process ran. Check for success/failure.
-
-### Step 4: Check runner logs for cleanup evidence
-
-Search for these patterns:
-
-| Log pattern | Meaning |
-|---|---|
-| `Failed to delete installer file ... Access is denied` | File locked by AV, another process, or permissions issue |
-| `Failed to delete log file ...` | Same, for old log files |
-| `Discovered new version` | Periodic update check ran |
-| `New version is already downloaded` | State is `readyToInstall` and filename matches — no re-download, no cleanup |
-| No cleanup-related entries at all | Inconclusive by itself — `cleanup_updates()` is silent on success. Corroborate with the Updates folder contents (Step 5) and the running version (Step 1). |
-
-### Step 5: Check the Updates folder contents
-
-- **All different versions**: Cleanup likely did not run across multiple update cycles. Confirm with the running version (Step 1) and update state before concluding a state gate issue.
-- **Duplicate filenames**: Unusual — would suggest repeated download without cleanup.
-- **Single file matching `downloadedInstallerFilename`**: Normal for `readyToInstall` state.
-
-### Common root causes
-
-| Root cause | Evidence | Fix |
-|---|---|---|
-| Running pre-v0.73.0 binary | `product_version` < v0.73.0 in runner log | Manually upgrade to latest |
-| State stuck at `readyToInstall` (pre-v0.73) | `"state": 3` in UpdateState.json, no UpdateLogs | Manually upgrade to latest |
-| File lock preventing deletion | "Failed to delete ... Access is denied" in runner logs | Check AV software, reboot and retry |
-| Update installer never launched | No UpdateLogs directory | Check if update notifications are disabled by GPO or setting |
-| Install fails silently | UpdateLogs show init but no install activity | Check related issues: #46966, #46967, #46969 |
