CmdPal: Update Extension SDK classes to raise property change notifications only on change (#44547) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces a new method  
`bool SetProperty<T>(ref T field, T value, [CallerMemberName] string?
propertyName = null)`
on `BaseObservable`.

The method updates the backing field only when the new value differs
from the current one and raises property change notifications only in
that case.

#### Summary

- Adds `SetProperty<T>` to `BaseObservable` to guard property change
notifications behind an actual value change.
- SDK API is not affected.
- Prevents unnecessary notifications from leaving the extension
boundary.
- Reduces redundant updates and saves a few round-trips between COM
objects and view models.
- Improves overall efficiency without changing observable behavior for
consumers.

Docs: consolidate instructions and fix prompt frontmatter (#44610) 
Title: Docs: consolidate Copilot instructions and prompt metadata

## Summary
- Consolidated AI guidance into a root AGENTS.md and new
`.github/instructions` files, removing older per-folder instructions.
- Scoped instruction files for pipelines, common libraries,
runner/settings UI, prompts, and simplified
`.github/copilot-instructions.md` to point to the sources of truth.
- Fixed prompt frontmatter (YAML markers, quoted fields, headings)
across built-in prompt files.
- Most instructions.md is from https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot

## Testing
- Not run (documentation/instructions-only change)

fix sign issue (#44609) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it

-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request introduces updates to the build pipeline and resource
configuration, primarily to support new modules and improve versioning
information for the File Locksmith CLI.

**Pipeline configuration updates:**

* Added new WinUI3 application binaries (`PowerToys.QuickAccess.dll`,
`PowerToys.QuickAccess.exe`, and `PowerToys.Settings.UI.Controls.dll`)
to the ESRP signing pipeline, ensuring these modules are properly signed
during the build process.

**Resource and versioning improvements:**

* Updated the resource file for `FileLocksmithCLI` to include version
information and metadata (such as company name, file description, and
product version) by referencing the shared version header. This improves
traceability and consistency of version details in the executable.

[CursorWrap] Update coordinate mapping (#43542) 
## Summary of the Pull Request
Update coordinate mapping across monitors

---

### Testing instructions

#### Single monitor
- Enable CursorWrap - the cursor should wrap around the top/bottom and
left/right edges of the display.

- Single monitor - Add a second monitor:

- If you have a USB monitor, add the monitor to your PC, CursorWrap
should detect the new monitor and wrapping should occur from the edges
of the monitor depending on monitor layout - for example, if the monitor
is added to the left of the main display then the cursor should move
freely between the left edge of the main monitor to the right edge of
the added monitor - the cursor should wrap from the left edge of the
added monitor to the right edge of the main monitor (same for top/bottom
if the new monitor is added above/below the main monitor).

#### Multi monitor
- If you have a static multi-monitor layout cursor should wrap for outer
edges of the monitor setup, for example, if you have three monitors in a
layout of [1][0][2] then the cursor should wrap from the right edge of
[2] to the left edge of [1], top/bottom should wrap on each monitor.

#### Issues
- If you detect any issues then run the Capture-MonitorLayout.ps1 file,
this will generate a JSON file with your monitor layout, attach the file
to a new comment.

Update VSCode task for streamline build + fix prompts syntax error (#44605) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request introduces several improvements and updates across the
repository, focusing on build tooling, prompt configuration for AI
agents, and documentation clarity. The most significant changes include
the addition of new VSCode build tasks, updates to prompt files to use a
newer AI model, enhancements to the build script for flexibility, and
refinements to documentation and style rules.

### Enabled scenario
* On any active files in VSCode, do "Ctrl + Shift + B" just build
correctly for you.
* The Run Task (no matter from Terminal or Ctrl + Shift + P), we can see
the build option:
<img width="1210" height="253" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/09fbef16-55ce-42d5-a9ec-74111be83472"
/>

**Build tooling and automation:**

* Added a new `.vscode/tasks.json` file with configurable build tasks
for PowerToys, supporting quick and customizable builds with platform
and configuration selection.
* Enhanced `tools/build/build.ps1` to support an optional `-Path`
parameter for building projects in a specified directory, updated
parameter documentation, and improved logic to resolve the working
directory.

**AI agent prompt configuration:**

* Updated all prompt files in `.github/prompts/` to use the
`GPT-5.1-Codex-Max` model instead of older models, and standardized the
agent field format.

Fix Peek allowing Local File Inclusion (LFI) and RCE (#44601) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
In PR #44456, we disabled scripts and HTML, but we still want to allow
HTML rendering.

This pull request introduces significant security improvements and UI
enhancements to the file previewer, focusing on safe rendering of files
and better user communication when opening external links. The main
changes include strict resource filtering to prevent external content
loading (and potential XSS attacks), a more informative dialog when
opening external URIs, and improved logic for determining how different
file types are previewed.

**Security enhancements:**

* Added strict resource filtering for non-dev file previews in
`BrowserControl` to block external HTTP/S requests and limit local file
access to the same directory and subdirectories, preventing XSS and
unwanted external content loading.
* Set the `WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS` environment variable
to block new web contents for extra security.
* Removed disabling of HTML rendering in the Markdown pipeline to allow
safe local rendering (now protected by resource filtering).

**File preview logic improvements:**

* Refactored previewer logic to prioritize file type handling: Markdown,
SVG, HTML/HTM, Monaco-supported source code, and fallback types,
ensuring correct preview strategy and context menu behavior for each
type.
* Resource filtering is dynamically applied or removed based on whether
the file is a dev/source code file (Monaco editor) or not, ensuring
compatibility and security.

**User interface enhancements:**

* Updated the open URI dialog to include a warning banner and improved
messaging, informing users about the risks of opening external links.

Optimize PowerRename logic on memory allocation based on path depth. (#44603) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request improves the way items are grouped and processed by
depth in the `s_fileOpWorkerThread` function of
`PowerRenameManager.cpp`. Instead of sizing the depth matrix by the
total item count, it now determines the actual maximum depth of items
first, resulting in more efficient memory usage and correctness when
handling items by their depth.

**Improvements to depth-based processing:**

* Added a first pass to determine the maximum depth among all items
before allocating the depth matrix, ensuring the matrix is sized
appropriately and not excessively large.
* Updated the logic to iterate from the maximum depth down to zero when
adding items, aligning with the new matrix sizing and ensuring correct
processing order.

Cmdpal: Peek command in indexer (#44581) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
Add a peek command, so we could quickly view the files found by indexer

I’m aware that wiring the Peek command directly into the indexer
extension is fairly PowerToys-specific.
I’m open to suggestions if we think this should instead be handled via a
more general extension / plugin mechanism; if a broader framework is
planned, I’m happy to wait and revisit this once that structure is in
place.

These interfaces are not stable and can change across Windows updates,

<!-- Provide a more detailed description of the PR, other things fixed,
or any additional comments/features here -->
## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
It was asked why this feature is needed at all, because it could be done
with snipping tool and just AoT that window as well. While this is true,
PowerToys goal always was to improve and speed up workflows. Instead of
capturing the screenshot, opening it, and then apply "Crop and Lock" or
"Always on Top" on the screenshots window, this PR aims to provide this
functionality in a single step.

Example use cases:
- _when I want to compare between two situations like previous output
result and current output result._ (#31799)
- _Allow cropping a section of a large code file (say top while working
at the bottom) as reference while working elsewhere in the file._
(#33071)
- _Can be useful for the work in the same document, like excel or word
where you are actively checking the data from the same document._
(#28633)
- _In lot's of older applications, if you need to get some information
or data from one dialog do another, but because of dialog modality it's
not possible to have both windows open at the same time._ (#33812)
- _nowadays quite a lot is happening inside the browser. Quite often, I
want to keep a small portion of the current website visible and switch
to e.g. the writing tool also running in a different tab in the same
browser window._ (#31799)


I've used win+ctrl+shift+s as the default activation shortcut, as it's
not yet used by other powertoys utilities, has similarity with the
normal win+shift+s shortcut hotkey and is consistent with the other Crop
and Lock shortcuts win+ctrl+shift+r (Reparent Mode) and win+ctrl+shift+t
(Thumbnail Mode).

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed

Compatibility tested manually with a large set of applications I have
installed on my computer. However, automated tests don't really make
sense as there is not much business logic which could be tested.

[File Locksmith] Add CLI support (#44047) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request introduces a new command-line interface (CLI) project
for the File Locksmith module, enabling users to interact with File
Locksmith functionality directly from the command line. The changes
include project and build configuration, CLI implementation, and
supporting code to integrate with the existing FileLocksmith library.

## Commands and Options

| Command / Option | Alias | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `<path>` | N/A | **Required**. One or more file or directory paths to
check. You can specify multiple paths separated by spaces. |
| `--kill` | N/A | Terminates (kills) all processes that are currently
locking the specified files. |
| `--json` | N/A | Outputs the results in structured **JSON** format
instead of human-readable text. Useful for automation and scripts. |
| `--wait` | N/A | **Blocks execution** and waits until the specified
files are released. The command will not exit until the files are
unlocked. |
| `--help` | N/A | Displays the help message with usage instructions. |

## Usage Examples

### 1. Basic check (Human-readable output)
Check which processes are locking a specific file:
```powershell
FileLocksmithCLI.exe "C:\Users\Docs\report.docx"
```

### 2. Check multiple files and output JSON
Check multiple files and get the output in JSON format for parsing:
```powershell
FileLocksmithCLI.exe --json "C:\File1.txt" "C:\Folder\File2.dll"
```

### 3. Wait for a file to be unlocked
Block script execution until a file is released (useful in build
scripts):
```powershell
FileLocksmithCLI.exe --wait "C:\bin\output.exe"
```

### 4. Force unlock a file
Kill all processes that are locking a specific file:
```powershell
FileLocksmithCLI.exe --kill "C:\LockedFile.dat"
```

[Light Switch] Adding telemetry events (#44241) 
Adding events to track the following:
<table style="width:100%">
  <tr>
    <th>Event Name</th>
    <th>Description</th>
<th>Data collected</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Microsoft.PowerToys.LightSwitch_EnableLightSwitch</td>
    <td>Triggered when Light Switch is enabled or disabled.</td>
<td>Whether the module is enabled or disabled (bool)</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Microsoft.PowerToys.LightSwitch_ShortcutInvoked</td>
    <td>Occurs when the shortcut for Light Switch is invoked.</td>
<td></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Microsoft.PowerToys.LightSwitch_ScheduleModeToggled</td>
<td>Occurs when a new schedule mode is selected for Light Switch.</td>
<td>The new mode selected (string)</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Microsoft.PowerToys.LightSwitch_ThemeTargetChanged</td>
<td>Occurs when the options for targeting the system or apps is
updated.</td>
<td>The new options selected (two bools)</td>
  </tr>
</table>

The above events that are related to Light Switch settings are tracked
in the "LoadSettings" function inside the service but only if the value
has changed. The Enabled event as well as the Shortcut event are tracked
in the module interface.

 ## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
  Updated links in:
    - src/modules/cmdpal/Microsoft.CmdPal.UI/Settings/GeneralPage.xaml
    - src/modules/cmdpal/extensionsdk/README.md

Note: The issue proposes linking directly to “Command Palette /
Developer Docs / Extensibility overview” on
Learn. I noticed the project often uses fwlink/aka.ms redirects instead
of direct Learn URLs. If creating a
redirect is preferred (or if I can create one), let me know and I’ll
update the links accordingly.

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation
  steps taken as well -->
  ## Validation Steps Performed
Manually verified that the links resolve to the Microsoft Learn Command
Palette extensibility overview.

## Validation Steps Performed

### Run manual tests from [Test Checklist
Template](5bc7201ae2/doc/releases/tests-checklist-template.md (mouse-without-borders)):

* Install PowerToys on two PCs in the same local network:
   - [x]     Verify that PowerToys is properly installed on both PCs.
   - [x]     Configure Windows Firewall Rules
- ```netsh advfirewall firewall add rule
name="PowerToys.MouseWithoutBorders - mc" dir=in action=allow
program="C:\src\mc\PowerToys\x64\Debug\PowerToys.exe" enable=yes
remoteip=any profile=any protocol=tcp```
   
 * Setup Connection:
- [x] Open MWB's settings on the first PC and click the "New Key"
button. Verify that a new security key is generated.
- [x] Copy the generated security key and paste it in the corresponding
input field in the settings of MWB on the second PC. Also enter the name
of the first PC in the required field.
- [x] Press "Connect" and verify that the machine layout now includes
two PC tiles, each displaying their respective PC names.
   
 * Verify Connection Status:
- [x] Ensure that the border of the remote PC turns green, indicating a
successful connection.
- [x] Enter an incorrect security key and verify that the border of the
remote PC turns red, indicating a failed connection.
   
 * Test Remote Mouse/Keyboard Control:
- [x] With the PCs connected, test the mouse/keyboard control from one
PC to another. Verify that the mouse/keyboard inputs are correctly
registered on the other PC.
- [ ] Test remote mouse/keyboard control across all four PCs, if
available. Verify that inputs are correctly registered on each connected
PC when the mouse is active there.
     - unable to test - only 2 machines available
   
 * Test Remote Control with Elevated Apps:
- note - the main PowerToys.exe must be running as a **non**-admin for
these tests
- [x] Open an elevated app on one of the PCs. Verify that without "Use
Service" enabled, PowerToys does not control the elevated app.
- [x] Enable "Use Service" in MWB's settings (need to run PowerToys.exe
as admin to enable "Use Service", then restart PowerToys.exe as
non-admin). Verify that PowerToys can now control the elevated app
remotely. Verify that MWB processes are running as LocalSystem, while
the MWB helper process is running non-elevated.
- ```get-process -Name "PowerToys.MouseWithoutBorders*" -IncludeUserName
| format-table Id, ProcessName, UserName```
- [x] Process: ```PowerToys.MouseWithoutBorders.exe``` - running as
```SYSTEM```
- [x] Process: ```PowerToys.MouseWithoutBorders.Helper.exe``` - running
as current user
- ```get-service -Name "PowerToys.*" | ft Status, Name, UserName;
get-ciminstance -Class "Win32_Service" -Filter "Name like 'PowerToys%'"
| ft ProcessId, Name```
- [x] Service: ```PowerToys.MWB.Service``` - running as ```Local
System```
- [x] Toggle "Use Service" again, verify that each time you do that, the
MWB processes are restarted.
- [x] Run PowerToys elevated on one of the machines, verify that you can
control elevated apps remotely now on that machine.

* Test Module Enable Status:
- [x] For all combinations of "Use Service"/"Run PowerToys as admin",
try enabling/disabling MWB module and verify that it's indeed being
toggled using task manager.
   
 * Test Disconnection/Reconnection:
- [x] Disconnect one of the PCs from network. Verify that the machine
layout updates to reflect the disconnection.
   - [x]     Do the same, but now by exiting PowerToys.
   - [x]     Start PowerToys again, verify that the PCs are reconnected.
  
 * Test Various Local Network Conditions:
- [ ] Test MWB performance under various network conditions (e.g., low
bandwidth, high latency). Verify that the tool maintains a stable
connection and functions correctly.

 * Clipboard Sharing:
- [x] Copy some text on one PC and verify that the same text can be
pasted on another PC.
- [x] Use the screenshot key and Win+Shift+S to take a screenshot on one
PC and verify that the screenshot can be pasted on another PC.
- [x] Copy a file in Windows Explorer and verify that the file can be
pasted on another PC. Make sure the file size is below 100MB.
- [x] Try to copy multiple files and directories and verify that it's
not possible (only the first selected file is being copied).
 
 * Drag and Drop:
- [ ] Drag a file from Windows Explorer on one PC, cross the screen
border onto another PC, and release it there. Verify that the file is
copied to the other PC. Make sure the file size is below 100MB.
- [ ] While dragging the file, verify that a corresponding icon is
displayed under the mouse cursor.
- [ ] Without moving the mouse from one PC to the target PC, press
CTRL+ALT+F1/2/3/4 hotkey to switch to the target PC directly and verify
that file sharing/dropping is not working.

 * Lock and Unlock with "Use Service" Enabled:
   - [x]     Enable "Use Service" in MWB's settings.
- [x] Lock a remote PC using Win+L, move the mouse to it remotely, and
try to unlock it. Verify that you can unlock the remote PC.
- [x] Disable "Use Service" in MWB's settings, lock the remote PC, move
the mouse to it remotely, and try to unlock it. Verify that you can't
unlock the remote PC.

 * Test Settings:
- [ ] Change the rest of available settings on MWB page and verify that
each setting works as described.

Add Drag and Drop For Environment Variables (#40105) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR introduces drag-and-drop functionality for environment
variables, allowing users to easily update the order of variables based
on their preferences. Users can now rearrange variables directly in the
UI by dragging and dropping, making it more intuitive and efficient to
customise the order without manual editing.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Updated `EnvironmentVariablesMainPage.xaml` to use a `ListView` instead
of an `ItemsControl`, enabling item dragging and reordering. The new
`ListView` features a grid layout with a `FontIcon`, `TextBox`, and
`Button`, while maintaining visibility control through data binding.

Added `EditVariableValuesList_DragItemsCompleted` method in
`EnvironmentVariablesMainPage.xaml.cs` to update the text box with the
new order of items after drag-and-drop operations, ensuring consistency
with the underlying data model.
<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
- Manually tested the affected functionality.
- Change was minimal and did not impact existing automated tests.
- Verified that the new/modified feature works as expected and did not
cause regressions in related areas.

Fix peek issue (#44456) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request focuses on improving the security and behavior of
Markdown file previews. The main changes include disabling HTML
rendering in Markdown to prevent potential security issues, and ensuring
that the `IsDevFilePreview` flag is set correctly when previewing
Markdown files.

**Markdown rendering and preview behavior:**

* Disabled HTML rendering in the Markdown pipeline by adding
`.DisableHtml()` in `MarkdownHelper.MarkdownHtml`, which helps prevent
XSS and other security issues in file previews.
* Explicitly set `IsDevFilePreview` to `false` when handling Markdown
files in `WebBrowserPreviewer`, ensuring correct preview state.

[Awake] Fix issues with help and error text not being visible when running Awake via the command line (#41774) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
This fixes issues when running Awake via the command line. It allows for
the display of help/usage information, parsing errors, and normal
logging information to the user, whereas these were not shown
previously.

Note: the GPO check is now deliberately placed _after_ the parameter
parsing, changing previous behaviour. This lets the user view help
information about Awake even if they cannot yet run the application
because of a policy rule. There is no change to the GPO check itself.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Awake is compiled as a Windows Executable. When run via the command
line, it does not have a console to which it can log information or
errors. The application does open its own console under certain
circumstances, but this occurs _after_ command line parameter parsing is
done, which means errors and help information cannot be displayed.

This fix attaches to the parent console and moves the parameter parsing
to the start of `Main` so the errors and usage information can now be
seen:

### Help/usage information
<img width="1449" height="501" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e4d02501-1484-4f5d-a00a-606aaf13973e"
/>

### Parsing error display
<img width="1458" height="570" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/66405db9-0b65-4f07-9af9-d22ecd0da2ba"
/>

### Normal operation

/>

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
- Tested that all modes still perform as expected from both the command
line and via PowerToys Runner / settings file.
- Confirmed that there were no side-effects from attaching to the
console when running in non-command line mode (`AttachConsole` fails in
that instance and no other changes are apparent).

[PowerRename] Fix Unicode characters and non-breaking spaces not being correctly normalized before matching (#43972) 
## Summary of the Pull Request
Fixes PowerRename failing to normalise different Unicode forms before
matching. This results in filenames containing visually identical
characters to the search term from failing to match because their
underlying binary representations differ.

This affects renaming files created on macOS which names files in NFD
(decomposed form) rather than Windows' NFC (precomposed form).

Additionally, this fixes matching to filenames containing non-breaking
space characters, which can be created by automated systems and web
downloaders. Previously, the NBSP character would fail to match a normal
space.

<!-- Provide a more detailed description of the PR, other things fixed,
or any additional comments/features here -->
## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
The underlying issue is a binary mismatch between:

1. Precomposed characters (NFC) typed by Windows users, e.g. `U+0439` -
`й`.
2. Decomposed characters (NFD) found in filenames from other platforms
(or copied from text), e.g. `U+0438` `U+0306` - `и` + `̆ `.
3. Standard spaces (`U+0020`) versus non-breaking spaces (`U+00A0`).

### Updates to PowerRenameRegex.cpp

I added a `SanitizeAndNormalize` function which replaces all
non-breaking spaces with standard spaces and normalises the string to
**Normalization Form C** using Win32's `NormalizeString`.

`PutSearchTerm` and `PutReplaceTerm` now normalise input immediately
before performing any other processing.

`Replace` now normalises the `source` filename before processing.

I updated the RegEx path to ensure it runs against the normalised
`sourceToUse` string instead of the raw `source` string; otherwise regex
matches would fail.

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
Manually tested the use case detailed in #43971 with the following
filenames:

- `Testй NFC.txt`
- `Testй NFD.txt`

Result:
<img width="1097" height="542" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/55dd4f01-8ec9-462c-a20f-dd246c368cf5"
/>

There are two new unit tests which exercise both the non-breaking space
and Unicode form normalisation issues. These run on both the Boost- and
non-Boost test paths, adding four tests to the total. All new tests fail
as expected on the prior code and all PowerRename tests pass
successfully with the changes in this PR:

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

### Review Tools Added (`.github/review-tools/`)

**Core Scripts:**
1. **`Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1`** (173 lines) - Compares last
reviewed commit SHA with current PR head to identify incremental
changes. Returns JSON with changed files, new commits, and review
recommendations. Handles scenarios: first review, no changes, force-push
detection, and incremental changes.

2. **`Test-IncrementalReview.ps1`** (170 lines) - Helper script to
preview incremental review detection before running full review.
Displays colored console output showing current vs last reviewed SHAs,
changed files, new commits, and recommended review strategy.

3. **`Migrate-ReviewToIncrementalFormat.ps1`** (206 lines) - One-time
migration script to add review metadata sections to existing
`00-OVERVIEW.md` files, enabling incremental review functionality for
legacy PR reviews.

4. **`Get-GitHubRawFile.ps1`** (91 lines) - Downloads file content from
GitHub repository at specific git reference for baseline comparison
during reviews. Supports optional line numbering.

5. **`Get-GitHubPrFilePatch.ps1`** (79 lines) - Fetches unified diff
(patch) for a specific file in a pull request using GitHub API.

6. **`review-tools.instructions.md`** (355 lines) - Comprehensive
documentation covering script usage, workflow integration, error
handling, best practices, and AI integration examples. Serves as Copilot
instructions for the review tools.

### AI Prompt Templates Added (`.github/prompts/`)

1. **`review-pr.prompt.md`** (200 lines) - Structured prompt for
comprehensive PR reviews with incremental review support
2. **`review-issue.prompt.md`** (158 lines) - Template for systematic
issue analysis and triage
3. **`fix-issue.prompt.md`** (71 lines) - Guided workflow for
implementing issue fixes
4. **Minor updates** to `create-commit-title.prompt.md` and
`create-pr-summary.prompt.md` for consistency

### Key Features

**Incremental Review Flow:**
- Initial review (iteration 1): Creates overview with metadata including
HEAD SHA
- Subsequent reviews (iteration 2+): Reads last reviewed SHA, detects
changes, reviews only modified files
- Smart step filtering: Skips irrelevant review steps based on file
types changed (e.g., skip Localization if no `.resx` files changed)

**Error Handling:**
- Detects force-push scenarios (last reviewed SHA no longer in history)
- Validates GitHub CLI authentication
- Provides detailed error messages with actionable solutions
- Exit code 1 on errors for automation compatibility

**Integration:**
- Works with GitHub CLI (`gh`) for API access
- JSON output for programmatic consumption
- Designed for AI-powered review systems (Copilot integration)
- Metadata tracking for context-aware suggestions

## Validation Steps Performed

**Manual Testing:**
1. ✅ Verified all PowerShell scripts follow PSScriptAnalyzer rules
2. ✅ Tested `Get-PrIncrementalChanges.ps1` with various scenarios:
   - First review (no previous SHA)
   - No changes (SHA matches current)
   - Force-push detection (SHA not in history)
   - Incremental changes (multiple commits and files)
3. ✅ Validated `Test-IncrementalReview.ps1` output formatting and
accuracy
4. ✅ Confirmed `Migrate-ReviewToIncrementalFormat.ps1` adds metadata
without corrupting existing reviews
5. ✅ Tested GitHub API integration with `Get-GitHubRawFile.ps1` and
`Get-GitHubPrFilePatch.ps1`
6. ✅ Verified documentation accuracy and completeness in
`review-tools.instructions.md`
7. ✅ Validated prompt templates follow PowerToys repo conventions from
`.github/copilot-instructions.md`

**Dependencies Verified:**
- Requires PowerShell 7+ (or Windows PowerShell 5.1+)
- Requires GitHub CLI (`gh`) installed and authenticated
- All scripts include comprehensive help documentation (`Get-Help`
support)

**No Automated Tests:** These are development/CI tooling scripts used by
maintainers for PR reviews. Manual validation appropriate as they
interact with live GitHub API and require human judgment for review
quality assessment.

CmdPal: Fallback ranking and global results (#43549) 
> [!IMPORTANT]
> For extension developers, this release includes a new required `string
Id` property for `FallbackCommandItem`. While your existing extensions
will continue to work, without this `Id` being set, your fallbacks will
not display and will not be rankable.
> Before this is released, you will want to prepare your extension
fallbacks.
> 
> As an example, we are naming our built-in extensions as:
> - Calculator extension provider Id:
`com.microsoft.cmdpal.builtin.calculator`
> - Calculator extension fallback:
`com.microsoft.cmdpal.builtin.calculator.fallback`
> 
> While the content of the Id isn't important, what is important is that
it is unique to your extension and fallback to avoid conflicting with
other extensions.

Now the good stuff:

## What the heck does it do!?

### The backstory

In PowerToys 0.95, we released performance improvements to Command
Palette. One of the many ways we improved its speed is by no longer
ranking fallback commands with other "top level" commands. Instead, all
fallbacks would surface at the bottom of the results and be listed in
the order they were registered with Command Palette. But this was only a
temporary solution until the work included in this pull request was
ready.

In reality, not all fallbacks were treated equally. We marked the
calculator and run fallbacks as "special." Special fallbacks **were**
ranked like top-level commands and allowed to surface to the top of the
results.

### The new "hotness"

This PR brings the power of fallback management back to the people. In
the Command Palette settings, you, dear user, can specify what order you
want fallbacks to display in at the bottom of the results. This keeps
those fallbacks unranked by Command Palette but displays them in an
order that makes sense for you. But keep in mind, these will still live
at the bottom of search results.

But alas, we have also heard your cries that you'd like _some_ fallbacks
to be ranked by Command Palette and surface to the top of the results.
So, this PR allows you to mark any fallback as "special" by choosing to
include them in the global results. Special (Global) fallbacks are
treated like "top level" commands and appear in the search result based
on their title & description.
