This commit **improves validation** within the **Command Palette**'s extension creation process to ensure new extension names are compatible with C# namespace rules. Previously, users could create extensions with names containing invalid characters (like dashes), leading to subsequent build failures. The `NewExtensionForm.cs` now uses a stricter regex to enforce valid C# identifiers, and the error message in `Resources.resx` has been updated for clarity. This **bug fix** prevents users from generating unbuildable extensions, thereby enhancing the reliability of the extension development workflow.

This commit initiates the process of enabling **Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compilation** for the **CmdPal** module, primarily impacting its **UI ViewModels** and the **Bookmark extension**. The work involves extensive **refactoring** of JSON serialization logic across numerous files, transitioning to source-generated `JsonSerializationContext` and `BookmarkSerializationContext` for AOT compatibility. Additionally, interop calls in `ExtensionWrapper.cs` are refactored for potential AOT optimization, and a `NativeMethods.json` configuration is added for `CsWin32` source generation. This foundational **maintenance** effort prepares core components for future AOT publishing, which is expected to yield benefits like smaller binaries and faster startup times, though AOT publishing is not yet fully activated.

This commit performs a significant **dependency upgrade**, bringing the **CommunityToolkit.WinUI** packages to their latest versions. As a direct result of this **toolkit upgrade**, new `MVVMTK0045` and `MVVMTK0049` warnings, primarily concerning **AOT compatibility**, are now **globally suppressed** within `src/codeAnalysis/GlobalSuppressions.cs`. This **maintenance** effort ensures build cleanliness and proper AOT behavior while keeping the project current with the toolkit's features. The `NOTICE.md` file has also been **updated** to reflect these new package versions.

This commit performs a **dependency upgrade**, updating the **Boost library** from version 1.84.0 to 1.87.0 across all sub-projects within the **PowerRename module**. Specifically, it modifies the `packages.config` and `.vcxproj` files for `PowerRenameUI`, `PowerRenameExt`, `PowerRenameLib`, `PowerRenameTest`, and `PowerRenameLibUnitTests`. This **maintenance** task ensures that PowerRename components benefit from the latest Boost features, bug fixes, and security enhancements. The update improves the overall technical foundation and compatibility of the PowerRename module without introducing direct user-facing changes.

This commit performs a **documentation update** by modifying the `NOTICE.md` file to accurately reflect the project's third-party dependencies. It specifically adds `System.Net.Http`, `System.Private.Uri`, and `System.Text.RegularExpressions` to the list of referenced NuGet packages. This **maintenance** task is part of an effort to address a vulnerability, ensuring that the **legal and compliance documentation** is current. The update helps maintain transparency regarding the project's included components and their versions.

This commit performs **maintenance** by **updating NuGet package versions** listed in the `NOTICE.md` file, specifically ensuring consistent usage of `newtonsoft.json` and `streamjson` across the project. Concurrently, it includes a minor **refactoring** within the **PowerToys Run program plugin**, specifically in `src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.Program/Programs/Win32Program.cs`. This refactoring standardizes the initialization of the static `FileVersionInfoWrapper` property to leverage the `FileSystemHelper` for improved internal code consistency. The changes contribute to overall project stability and maintainability without introducing new features or fixing user-visible bugs.
