## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
## Validation Steps Performed
I crashed an extension on purpose and read the message.
What the title says. 😄
Rather than relying on the potentially overloaded `!=` or `==` operators
when checking for null, now we'll use the `is` expression (possibly
combined with the `not` operator) to ensure correct checking. Probably
overkill for many of these classes, but decided to err on the side of
consistency. Would matter more on classes that may be inherited or
extended.
Using `is` and `is not` will provide us a guarantee that no
user-overloaded equality operators (`==`/`!=`) is invoked when a
`expression is null` is evaluated.
In code form, changed all instances of:
```c#
something != null
something == null
```
to:
```c#
something is not null
something is null
```
The one exception was checking null on a `KeyChord`. `KeyChord` is a
struct which is never null so VS will raise an error when trying this
versus just providing a warning when using `keyChord != null`. In
reality, we shouldn't do this check because it can't ever be null. In
the case of a `KeyChord` it **would** be a `KeyChord` equivalent to:
```c#
KeyChord keyChord = new ()
{
Modifiers = 0,
Vkey = 0,
ScanCode = 0
};
```

## Summary of the Pull Request
### Root cause:
Problem Previously the installer installed ImageResizer satellite
assemblies into [INSTALLFOLDER]<culture>*.dll. The runtime probes
WinUI3Apps<culture>\ for WinUI3 app resource assemblies, so localization
failed.
### Fix:
Updated Resources.wxs: ImageResizer_$(var.IdSafeLanguage)_Component now
targets
Directory="Resource$(var.IdSafeLanguage)WinUI3AppsInstallFolder".

## AI Summary
This pull request updates the installer configuration in `Resources.wxs`
to support resource management for WinUI 3 apps. The main changes ensure
that resource directories and uninstall logic properly handle the new
`WinUI3AppsInstallFolder`, and update the component registration for
localized resources.
**Installer resource management updates:**
* Added `WinUI3AppsInstallFolder` to the list of parent directories for
resource file generation, ensuring resources for WinUI 3 apps are
included during installer builds.
**Component and uninstall logic updates:**
* Updated the `ImageResizer` component to register its resources under
`Resource$(var.IdSafeLanguage)WinUI3AppsInstallFolder` instead of the
default install folder, aligning with the new directory structure for
WinUI 3 apps.
* Added uninstall logic to remove the localized resource folder for
`WinUI3AppsInstallFolder`, ensuring cleanup of WinUI 3 app resources
during uninstall.
Improves item insertion logic in TopLevelCommandManager.
Updated the insertion logic to handle invalid startIndex values. If
startIndex is -1, new items will be appended to the end of the
collection, enhancing robustness.
Fixes regression introduced in #40752

## Validation Steps Performed
## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request introduces a minor but important update to the
`ContentIcon` control in the `Microsoft.CmdPal.UI` module. The changes
improve robustness by adding checks to prevent duplicate parenting of
the `Content` element and include a debug assertion for better
diagnostics during development.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
### Key changes:
#### Diagnostics and robustness improvements:
* Added a `Debug.Assert` statement to verify that the `Content` element
is not already parented to another element, helping to catch potential
issues during development.
(`[src/modules/cmdpal/Microsoft.CmdPal.UI/Controls/ContentIcon.csR39-R49](diffhunk://#diff-330aad69f925cf7a9e07bb7147af8e6cd09776a4c745455ac8a91a24b482d076R39-R49)`)
* Introduced checks to ensure the `Content` element is not added to the
`Grid`'s `Children` collection if it already exists there, preventing
redundant operations.
(`[src/modules/cmdpal/Microsoft.CmdPal.UI/Controls/ContentIcon.csR39-R49](diffhunk://#diff-330aad69f925cf7a9e07bb7147af8e6cd09776a4c745455ac8a91a24b482d076R39-R49)`)
#### Code maintenance:
* Added a `using System.Diagnostics` directive to enable the use of the
`Debug` class for assertions.

A regression from #40132
We need to set the value of `_includeApps` in the `MainListPage` ctor.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Fixed toggle switch not working issue.
## AI Summary
This pull request refactors how `DashboardListItem` objects are created
and added to collections in the `DashboardViewModel`. The main
improvement is to separate the instantiation of each `DashboardListItem`
from the assignment of its `EnabledChangedCallback` property, which is
now set after the object is added to the relevant collection. This
change improves clarity and may help prevent issues related to object
initialization order.
Refactoring of `DashboardListItem` creation and initialization:
* In the `AddDashboardListItem` method, the `DashboardListItem` object
is now created and added to `AllModules` before its
`EnabledChangedCallback` property is set, instead of setting this
property during object initialization.
* In the `GetShortcutModules` method, both `ShortcutModules` and
`ActionModules` collections now receive `DashboardListItem` objects that
are instantiated first, added to the collection, and then have their
`EnabledChangedCallback` property set. This replaces the previous
pattern of setting the callback during object creation.

Closes#40979
Usually, you're supposed to try to cast the action to a specific
type, and use those objects to get the data you need.
However, there's something weird with AdaptiveCards and the way it
works when we consume it when built in Release, with AOT (and
trimming) enabled. Any sort of `action.As<IAdaptiveSubmitAction>()`
or similar will throw a System.InvalidCastException.
Instead we have this horror show.
The `action.ToJson()` blob ACTUALLY CONTAINS THE `type` field, which
we can use to determine what kind of action it is. Then we can parse
the JSON manually based on the type.

This pull request makes a minor update to the event handling in the
preview pane module. The change updates the event constant used for
resizing the preview from `GcodePreviewResizeEvent` to
`BgcodePreviewResizeEvent`, likely to improve naming consistency or to
support a new event type.
## Summary of the Pull Request
Self-refresh of `MainListPage` introduced in #40132 causes unnecessary
spawning of tasks by `ReapplySearchInBackground` and pushing the code
down the scenic route instead of taking shortcut.
This drop-in fix introduces a single-worker coalescing refresh loop to
eliminate thread-pool churn and syncs state in early-return paths.

## Validation Steps Performed
Verified that PowerRename shows file list when activated:
- From Windows 11 Explorer context menu
- From Legacy Explorer context menu
- From command line passing some file paths
### Updated `KeyVisual` and `Shortcut` control
- Refactoring `KeyVisual` to remove redundant properties and UI
elements, and using Styles for better customization.
- Shortcut control now shows a "Configure shortcut" label when there's
no shortcut configured.
### Other changes
- Consolidated converters that were used across pages in `App.xaml.cs`
with consistent naming.
- Renamed templated controls (from `.cs` to `.xaml.cs`) and moving those
to the `Controls` root folder vs. individual folders for a better
overview.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Fixes a logic issue in the UI test automation pipeline where selecting
`latestMainOfficialBuild` would still trigger a full PowerToys build
instead of only building UI tests.
### Why
The pipeline was using template variables in compilation-time
conditions, which doesn't work correctly in pipeline
### fix
Replace template variable references with direct parameter comparisons
in compilation-time conditions

## 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
Click event on WinUI buttons handle more than just click and is more
versatile that Tapped event. When you tap a Button with a finger or
stylus, or press a left mouse button while the pointer is over it, the
button raises the Click event. If a button has keyboard focus, pressing
the Enter key or the Spacebar key also raises the Click event.
This PR also replaces the right-tapped event on items on the list page
with context menu handling, allowing other input gestures (such as
Shift+F10) to also display the context menu.
And finally, it adds a button to the status messages badge so that the
flyout can be opened using the keyboard.

Locally checked, no broken any more
After #39955, the "exe" items from the shell commands only ever have the
"Run{as admin, as other user}" commands. This adds the rest of the
"file" commands - copy path, open in explorer, etc.
This shuffles around some commands into the toolkit and common commands
project to make this easier.

_⚠️ targets #40427_
This is a different approach to #39059 that I was thinking about like a
month ago. It builds on the work from the rejuv'd run page (#39955) to
process the bookmark as an exe/path/url automatically.
I need to cross-check this with #39059 - I haven't cached that back in
since I got back from leave. I remember thinking that I wanted to try
this approach, but wasn't sure if it was right. More than anything, I
want to get it off my local PC and out for discussion
* We don't need to manually store the type anymore.
* breaking change: paths with a space do need to be wrapped in spaces
closes#38700
----
I accidentally destroyed #40430 with a fat-finger merge from #40427 into
it. This resurrects that PR
## Summary of the Pull Request
Fixes unsynchronized access to `LoadTopLevelCommands` in
`TopLevelCommandManager.UpdateCommandsForProvider`, which previously led
to `InvalidOperationException: Collection was modified`.
Addressing this also uncovered another issue: overlapping invocations of
`ReloadAllCommandsAsync` were causing duplication of items in the main
list -- so I'm fixing that as well.
