## Summary of the Pull Request
SettingsUtils is initialized multiple times over the whole solution.
This creates one singeltone instance (with the default settings), so it
only has to be initialized once (and improve performance a bit with
that)

## Summary:
This pull request refactors the installer build pipeline to simplify and
modernize the process, focusing exclusively on the WiX 5 (VNext)
installer and removing legacy WiX 3 support. It eliminates the use of
the `installerSuffix` parameter and related logic, removes the legacy
installer build steps and scripts, and updates documentation to reflect
the new architecture. The changes streamline the pipeline, reduce
complexity, and ensure only the latest installer is built and signed.
Pipeline and build system simplification:
* Removed the `installerSuffix` parameter and all related logic from
pipeline templates and YAML files, including file naming, build steps,
and hash calculation scripts.
* Removed legacy WiX 3 installer build steps and the associated script
`installWiX.ps1`, focusing exclusively on WiX 5 (VNext) installer
builds.
Installer signing and build process updates:
* Updated `.pipelines/ESRPSigning_installer.json` to remove signing
configuration for the legacy `PowerToysSetupCustomActions.dll`, ensuring
only the VNext DLL is signed.
Documentation updates:
* Updated `doc/devdocs/core/installer.md` to remove references to WiX 3,
clarify the installer architecture as WiX 5 only, and describe the new
build process.
## CheckList:
- [ ] Should Build successfully and produce installer for both per user
and per machine
- [ ] Should install without problem

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
### Known bugs:
- Default settings not saving correctly when switching modes
- Issue: Sometimes when you switch from one mode to another, they are
supposed to update with new defaults but sometimes this fails for the
second variable. Potentially has to do with accessing the settings file
while another chunk of code is still updating.
- Sometimes the system looks "glitched" when switching themes
### To do:
- [x] OOBE page and assets
- [x] Logic to disable the chart when no location has been selected
- [x] Localization
### How to and what to test
Grab the latest installer from the pipeline below for your architecture
and install PowerToys from there.
- Toggle theme shortcutSystem only, Apps only, Both system and apps
selected
- Does changing the values on the settings page update the settings
file? %LOCALAPPDATA%/Microsoft/PowerToys/LightSwitch/settings.json
- Manual mode: System only, Apps only, Both system and apps selected
- Sunrise modes: Are the times accurate?
- If you manage to let this run through sunset/rise does the theme
change?
- Set your theme to change within the next minute using manual mode and
set your device to sleepOpen your device and login once the time you set
has passed. --> Do your settings resync once the next minute ticks after
logging back into your device?
- Disable the service and ensure the tasks actually ends.
- While the module is disabled:
- Make sure the shortcut no longer works
- Make sure the last time you set doesn't trigger a theme change
- Bonus: Toggle GPO Configuration and make sure you are unable to enable
the module

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
This pull request adds support for developing and debugging PowerToys
using Visual Studio Code by introducing a new launch configuration and
comprehensive developer documentation. These changes make it easier for
contributors to build, debug, and iterate on both native and managed
components of PowerToys within VS Code.
**VS Code integration and developer workflow:**
* Added `.vscode/launch.json` with configurations for launching and
attaching to native (`PowerToys.exe`) and managed
(`PowerToys.Settings.exe`) processes, supporting both C++ and .NET
debugging scenarios.
* Introduced `doc/devdocs/development/dev-with-vscode.md`, a detailed
guide covering VS Code setup, building, debugging, and common developer
workflows for the PowerToys project. This includes extension
recommendations, shell integration, sample build commands, and
troubleshooting tips.
<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
While setting up the PowerToys solution, I ran into repeated issues
where files or SDKs could not be found when loading the solution. After
a full evening of debugging, the root cause turned out to be Windows’
default path length limitation.
Even with a repository path like C:/Users/Micha/Development/PowerToys
(which is not unusually long by itself), the combination of folder
structure and file names exceeded the maximum allowed path length and
caused the build problems.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Background: The current PowerToys installer is built using Wix3, which
has now been deprecated. To improve security, service quality, and
community support, we’re upgrading the installer to Wix5.
Implementation:
Created Wix5-based projects(PowerToysSetupVext and
PowerToysSetupCustomActionsVNext) within the installer while retaining
the existing Wix3 project. Both versions are built to generate separate
installation packages. The Wix3-related code will be removed after
successful release testing confirms no issues.
Special case:
Wix5 has removed the property for 'ShowFilesInUse'. Now, whenever a file
is in use during installation, a FilesInUse pop-upwill automatically
appear asking for the next step. To ensure this doesn't interfere with
scenarios that require silent installation (e.g. Winget method), we’ve
handled it using the bafunction approach.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request introduces enhancements to UI test automation,
improvements to pipeline configuration, and project structure updates.
The goal is to improve flexibility, maintainability, and efficiency in
PowerToys’ CI/CD processes.
### UI Test Enhancements:
Delayed Text Input Support
- UI tests now support character-by-character text input with
configurable delays.
- This serves as a workaround for a known CmdPal bug where input is
swallowed too quickly. The delay mitigates the issue until it is fixed
in CmdPal.
Centralized Environment Management
- Introduced a new class to centralize environment variable access for
UI test configuration.
CmdPal Launch Handling in Pipelines
- Adjusted test logic to handle CmdPal module startup specifically in CI
pipelines
### Pipeline Configuration Updates:
Build Artifact Customization
- Included test-related folders in pipeline build outputs for better
traceability.
Support for Build ID Targeting
- Added support for specifying PowerToys build IDs in test pipelines,
with conditional logic for specific or latest build selection.

## Summary of the Pull Request
**Root Cause:**
The current pipeline builds the entire solution and runs all UI tests
every time, which takes more than 2 hours to complete.
**Fix**
Make the PowerToys UI test pipeline provides flexible options for
building and testing:
### Pipeline Options
- **useLatestOfficialBuild**: When checked, downloads the latest
official PowerToys build and installs it for testing. This skips the
full solution build and only builds UI test projects.
- **useCurrentBranchBuild**: When checked along with
`useLatestOfficialBuild`, downloads the official build from the current
branch instead of main.
- **uiTestModules**: Specify which UI test modules to build and run.
Examples:
- `UITests-FancyZones` - Only FancyZones UI tests
- `MouseUtils.UITests` - Only MouseUtils UI tests
- `['UITests-FancyZones', 'MouseUtils.UITests']` - Multiple specific
modules
- Leave empty to build and run all UI test modules
### Build Modes
1. **Official Build + Selective Testing** (`useLatestOfficialBuild =
true`)
- Downloads and installs official PowerToys build
- Builds only specified UI test projects
- Runs specified UI tests against installed PowerToys
- Controlled by `uiTestModules` parameter
2. **Full Build + Testing** (`useLatestOfficialBuild = false`)
- Builds entire PowerToys solution
- Builds UI test projects (all or specific based on `uiTestModules`)
- Runs UI tests (all or specific based on `uiTestModules`)
- Uses freshly built PowerToys for testing

> 🐣 Breaking Changes
[Code Scanning action requires a Code Scanning
Ruleset](https://github.com/check-spelling/check-spelling/wiki/Breaking-Change:-Code-Scanning-action-requires-a-Code-Scanning-Ruleset)
If you use SARIF reporting, then instead of the workflow yielding an ❌
when it fails, it will rely on [github-advanced-security
🤖](https://github.com/apps/github-advanced-security) to report the
failure. You will need to adjust your checks for PRs.
This means that check-spelling hasn't been properly doing its job 😦.
I'm sorry, I should have pushed a thing to this repo earlier,...
Anyway, as with most refreshes, this comes with a number of fixes, some
are fixes for typos that snuck in before the 0.0.25 upgrade, some are
for things that snuck in after, some are based on new rules in
spell-check-this, and some are hand written patterns based on running
through this repository a few times.
About the 🐣 **breaking change**: someone needs to create a ruleset for
this repository (see [Code Scanning action requires a Code Scanning
Ruleset: Sample ruleset
](https://github.com/check-spelling/check-spelling/wiki/Breaking-Change:-Code-Scanning-action-requires-a-Code-Scanning-Ruleset#sample-ruleset)).
The alternative to adding a ruleset is to change the condition to not
use sarif for this repository. In general, I think the github
integration from sarif is prettier/more helpful, so I think that it's
the better choice.
You can see an example of it working in:

This upgrades to [v0.0.24](https://github.com/check-spelling/check-spelling/releases/tag/v0.0.24).
A number of GitHub APIs are being turned off shortly, so you need to upgrade or various uncertain outcomes will occur.
There's a new accessibility forbidden pattern:

```
There are some minor bugs that I'm aware of and which I've fixed since this release, but I don't expect to make another release this month.
I've added a pair of patterns for includes and pragmas. My argument is that the **compiler** will _generally_ tell you if you've misspelled an include and the **linker** will _generally_ tell you if you misspell a lib.
- There's a caveat here: If your include case-insensitively matches the referenced file (but doesn't properly match it), then unless you either use a case-sensitive file system (as opposed to case-preserving) or beg clang to warn, you won't notice when you make this specific mistake -- this matters in that a couple of Windows headers (e.g. Unknwn.h) have particular case and repositories don't tend to consistently/properly write them.
* [FilePreview] Use syntax highlighting for .srt
* Change customTokenColors to customTokenThemeRules
* Ignore text on the same line as a timestamp
* Update tokenization rules
* add Run support for UUIDv7 generation
* simplify comments and maybe satisfy spell check
* fix endianess
* prefer stack allocation for temporary fixed-size buffer
* perhaps the async test caused the pipeline to hang
* switch to .NET 9 BCL implementation of UUIDv7
* add UUIDv7 to input query suggestions + update exception messages to include v7
* simplify Guid description switch + update devdocs
