## Summary of the Pull Request This PR introduces a scaled-down version of the global error handler from #41061. - Catches and logs virtually all unhandled exceptions. - For UI thread exceptions, generates an additional error report: - One copy is saved in app's log folder for the Bug Report Tool. - Another copy can be placed to the user’s desktop to increase visibility and encourage report submission (disabled for now). - Displays a message box that tells the user where to find the saved report. This PR is intentionally minimal and focused. The complete, more polished solution is still planned in #41061, which should replace this implementation in a follow-up. <details><summary>Report example</summary> <pre> This is an error report generated by Windows Command Palette.
