This commit delivers a **bug fix** and **UI/UX improvement** for the **Quick Accent settings page**, specifically addressing the **language character sets list**. Previously, this list would be **cropped** and fail to **reflow** its contents dynamically when the settings window was resized, often displaying unnecessary scrollbars. The solution involves modifying `PowerAccentPage.xaml` and `PowerAccentPage.xaml.cs` to remove the problematic horizontal scrollbar and introduce `Loaded` and `SizeChanged` event handlers on the `LanguageSettingsCard`. These handlers now dynamically calculate and set the `ListView.MaxWidth` via the `UpdateLanguageListMaxWidth` method, ensuring the language list correctly adapts its column layout to the available space. This significantly enhances the **user experience** by preventing content clipping and providing a responsive UI for **Quick Accent** users.

This commit provides a **bug fix** for the **PowerToys Settings application**, specifically addressing an issue where the "Settings" button on the **SCOOBE (What's New) page** would open a blank window instead of the Home page. The change in `ScoobeWindow.xaml.cs` ensures that when `OpenSettingsItem_Tapped()` is called, `App.OpenSettingsWindow()` is invoked with `ensurePageIsSelected: true`. This guarantees the settings window navigates to an initial page, preventing a non-functional display. This improves the user experience for **new installations or upgrades** by ensuring the settings window is always functional when accessed from the SCOOBE page.

This commit performs a **documentation update** by refreshing the **PowerToys download links** within the project's **main `README.md` file**. Specifically, it updates all references and descriptions from version 0.97.1 to the **latest stable release, 0.97.2**. This **maintenance task** ensures that new users and contributors are always directed to the most current and correct installation packages, improving the accuracy and utility of the project's primary documentation.

This commit **replaces the brute-force fuzzy matching algorithm** in **WindowWalker**'s `FuzzyMatching.cs` with an **optimal dynamic programming solution**. This **performance optimization** drastically reduces memory usage and execution time, especially for pathological cases involving long window titles or repetitive search strings. It resolves issues where the **Run** plugin would freeze the UI and consume gigabytes of memory, ensuring a much smoother user experience. The new algorithm improves time and space complexity from exponential to polynomial, making the fuzzy matching process significantly more efficient and reliable.

This commit **enhances** the screenshot functionality within the **ZoomIt** module by implementing a new filename generation strategy. The `GetUniqueScreenshotFilename()` method in `Zoomit.cpp` now creates unique filenames that include a date and time suffix, following the format `"ZoomIt YYYY-MM-DD HHMMSS.png"`. This **enhancement** prevents accidental overwrites of existing screenshots and significantly improves file organization by allowing chronological sorting. It's a **quality of life improvement** for users, making the screenshot saving process more robust and user-friendly.

This commit provides a **bug fix** for a **race condition** within the **WindowWalker** component, which is utilized by both **Command Palette** and **Run**. Specifically, it addresses an issue where the lack of a lock during cache updates for process information could lead to inaccurate enumeration of UWP applications. By adding a lock around the `_handlesToProcessCache` update in `Window.cs` for both `Microsoft.CmdPal.Ext.WindowWalker` and `Microsoft.Plugin.WindowWalker`, the commit ensures thread-safe access. This prevents potential data inconsistencies and improves the reliability of UWP app information presented to the user.

This commit **fixes two critical typing-related bugs** within the **ZoomIt** module, specifically impacting its **Type Mode** and **Draw Mode** input handling. It resolves an **operator precedence error** in `Zoomit.cpp` that allowed ampersands to be typed even when these modes were not active. Additionally, it addresses a **debug assertion failure** that occurred when typing non-alphanumeric characters, caused by an incorrect `isprint()` check on virtual key codes in `MainWndProc`. These **bug fixes** prevent crashes in debug builds and ensure accurate and controlled text input, enhancing the overall stability and user experience of ZoomIt's annotation features.

This commit **fixes a critical bug** in the **Awake** module where help, error, and logging information were not visible when running the application from the command line. It **refactors** the startup logic by introducing native console attachment and moving command-line argument parsing to the beginning of the `Main` function. This ensures that users can now properly view usage instructions and parsing errors, significantly improving the **command-line user experience** and debugging capabilities for Awake, and also allows help to be displayed even if Group Policy prevents execution.

This commit provides a crucial **bug fix** for the **PowerRename** module, resolving issues where **Unicode normalization** differences and **non-breaking spaces** led to incorrect file matching. It introduces a `SanitizeAndNormalize` function within `PowerRenameRegEx.cpp` to consistently convert search terms, replace terms, and source filenames to Normalization Form C (NFC) and replace non-breaking spaces with standard spaces. This ensures that PowerRename can reliably match and rename files originating from diverse platforms (e.g., macOS NFD) or those containing special whitespace characters. The change significantly enhances the robustness and accuracy of **regex matching** operations within PowerRename.

This commit provides a **bug fix** for the **PowerRename** utility, specifically addressing an issue where **date/time replacement tokens** were incorrectly rejected if followed by a capital letter. The problem stemmed from an overly aggressive negative lookahead in the regular expressions within `Helpers.cpp` that prevented conflicts with image metadata tokens. The fix involves **refining these regular expressions** to remove unnecessary negative lookaheads and make the remaining ones more precise, ensuring that valid date/time tokens like `$DD` are correctly processed even when followed by user-supplied capital letters. This **improves the reliability and usability** of PowerRename's token replacement feature, preventing unexpected failures for users.

This commit introduces a **significant performance optimization** for the **CmdPal** `MainListPage` by refactoring how search results are compiled and displayed. It replaces the previous LINQ-based approach, which redundantly sorted combined lists, with a new `MainListPageResultFactory` that employs a **k-way merge algorithm**. This change leverages the pre-sorted nature of individual result sources to combine them in linear time, resulting in a **400% speed improvement** and a **substantial reduction in memory allocations** for the search results display. The refactoring enhances the responsiveness and resource efficiency of the CmdPal search experience.

This commit **fixes a critical bug** in the **ImageResizer** module where the **Fill** mode failed to crop images when **Shrink Only** was enabled and one dimension's scale factor was 1.0, resulting in uncropped images being saved with incorrect filenames. It also **resolves a latent bug** that caused square images to be incorrectly handled by the **Ignore Orientation** setting, preventing erroneous dimension swaps. Additionally, the `Transform` method within `ResizeOperation.cs` has been **refactored for improved readability**, enhancing the clarity of dimension and orientation calculations. This **bug fix** and **refactoring** ensures correct image processing for various resizing scenarios and improves code maintainability.

This commit delivers a **bug fix** for the **Awake** module, addressing an issue where its **timed mode** failed to expire correctly. Previously, the `StartTimed` method in `src/modules/awake/Awake/Core/Manager.cs` incorrectly wired the timer's completion logic to the error handler of an `Observable` interval due to a lambda expression syntax error. This prevented `Awake` from exiting the timed state when the duration elapsed. The fix ensures the `Subscribe` method properly handles timer completion, allowing `Awake` to correctly terminate its timed operation.

This commit **refines the user interface text** within the **Settings UI** for the **Mouse Utilities** module. Specifically, it **updates the descriptions** for `Find My Mouse`, `Mouse Highlighter`, and `Mouse Pointer Crosshairs` from declarative to imperative phrasing. This **maintenance** task ensures **consistency** with other descriptions across the application, improving the overall user experience and adhering to best practices for UI text. The change primarily affects the `Resources.resw` file, standardizing the language presented to users in the settings panel.

This commit **fixes two significant UI bugs** within the **Settings Dashboard**, specifically addressing the flickering and glitching of the module list when toggling module states and correcting the behavior of the sort menu checkmarks. It **refactors** the module list management logic in `src/settings-ui/Settings.UI/ViewModels/DashboardViewModel.cs` to update items in-place, preventing full list re-renders and associated visual glitches. Additionally, the `DashboardSortOrder` property now correctly notifies UI changes, resolving the issue where sort menu checkmarks displayed incorrectly. This **bug fix** and **refactoring** significantly improve the user experience and stability of the **Settings UI**.

This commit **updates the pull request template** (`.github/pull_request_template.md`) by adding a crucial **guidance note** for contributors. The note advises that multiple issue references should be placed on **separate lines** to ensure GitHub correctly auto-closes all linked issues upon PR merge. This is a **documentation update** and **maintenance** task that improves the **contributor workflow** and ensures proper issue management within the **GitHub repository**.

This commit **fixes two critical issues** within the **ZoomIt** module's screenshot saving functionality. It resolves a **GDI object leak** that occurred with each save operation by implementing RAII for device contexts and bitmaps, preventing resource exhaustion. Additionally, it corrects the "actual size" screenshot output, which previously suffered from visual artifacts and non-1:1 pixel accuracy, especially when smooth mode was active. This **bug fix** ensures that screenshots are now pixel-perfect and prevents resource leaks, significantly improving the reliability and quality of **ZoomIt**'s screenshot feature and enhancing overall application stability.

This commit provides a **bug fix** for the **Image Resizer** module, resolving an issue where batch resize operations could yield **inconsistent results**. Previously, the `Settings.Default` property would reload configuration for each image, allowing external changes to affect an ongoing batch. The fix ensures that **Image Resizer settings are captured once** at the start of a batch and consistently applied to all images, preventing mid-batch alterations. Additionally, the `Settings` class was **refactored** to decouple its `Reload` method from the UI dispatcher, improving its testability. This change guarantees **reliable and predictable batch image resizing** behavior.

This commit provides a **bug fix** for the **Peek** module, resolving an issue where audio and video files remained locked after the preview window was closed, preventing the safe ejection of removable storage. It **refactors** the `AudioPreviewer` and `VideoPreviewer` components within `Peek.FilePreviewer` by implementing `IDisposable` and introducing an `Unload()` method. This ensures the deterministic release of media file handles, preventing resource leaks and improving the overall stability of the previewer. The change allows users to reliably manage their media files and removable devices after using Peek.

This commit **enhances the bug report issue template** by incorporating references to high-volume, frequently reported bugs directly into its header. This **maintenance improvement** to `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml` aims to guide users to existing issues before submission. The primary goal is to **reduce the amount of triaging** required by preventing duplicate reports and streamlining the issue reporting process for common problems.
