Summary

  • migrate the complete desktop shell from WPF/.NET Framework 4.8 to WinUI 3 on .NET 10 and Windows App SDK 2.3.1
  • retain one elevated GUI/CLI executable with unpackaged, self-contained, single-file publishing
  • redesign History & Status with compact status cards, an inline typed history list, and exact-revision removal or rollback verification
  • add System, Light, and Dark themes, Mica, NavigationView, semantic resources, high-contrast fallback, and refreshed screenshots
  • replace WPF dispatcher and GAC PowerShell dependencies with a native STA COM worker and fixed Windows PowerShell 5.1 WinRM transport
  • update documentation, notices, locked dependencies, CI versioning, and 3.0.0-beta.1 release metadata

Safety and packaging

  • release builds continue to require administrator elevation
  • smoke builds use a separate UiSmoke configuration and a fake WUA adapter
  • Verify-Release.ps1 rejects a published EXE unless its embedded manifest has the production identity and requireAdministrator
  • no raw PowerShell, automatic reboot, or permanent update module/runtime installation is introduced

Validation

  • locked restore and Release x64 build: 0 warnings, 0 errors
  • 24/24 unit tests passed
  • production-assembly WinUI smoke captures passed in Dark/History and Light/Updates modes
  • formatting verification and git diff --check passed
  • single-file publish produced the EXE, SHA-256 checksum, SPDX SBOM, and third-party notices
  • embedded release manifest verified as elevated and free of the test-only smoke identity

P1 Badge Locate the smoke executable under the framework/RID output path

This script will fail before running either smoke scenario: passing -p:OutputPath=$smokeRoot\ to an SDK-style build does not suppress the default target-framework and runtime-identifier suffixes, and this project sets both net10.0-windows10.0.26100.0 and win-x64. The executable is therefore emitted below $smokeRoot\net10.0-windows10.0.26100.0\win-x64\, while the next check looks only for $smokeRoot\PSWindowsUpdateGUI.exe; every normal Build.ps1 run with tests enabled reaches that failing check.

P2 Badge Bound each smoke scenario with a timeout

If WinUI initialization, activation, or screenshot capture deadlocks, Start-Process -Wait waits indefinitely and leaves CI/build invocations hung rather than reporting a failed smoke test. The previous harness had a 20-second deadline; retain an equivalent timeout and terminate the process so a broken GUI startup fails predictably.
