Subject: [PATCH 01/13] fix(ci): fetch the R2R runtime pack in the nightly
 restore and ship the payload

The native job restores the solution without PublishReadyToRun and then publishes
with --no-restore, so crossgen2 never lands in project.assets.json and publish
fails with NETSDK1094. The job has never gone green since #35 introduced it.

scripts/release.ps1 already carries this exact fix for the release path; mirror it
in the workflow.

Also upload build/native as nightly-<arch>. The pre-#35 nightly published a
downloadable bundle and the rewrite dropped it, so even a green nightly produced
nothing you could run. The step sits after the UI journeys and the soak with no
`if:`, so only a payload that cleared every gate is published.

Subject: [PATCH 02/13] ci: ship Snaply's own log with the nightly UI results

A failing UI journey reports only that an element never appeared, with no
app-side context. Copy %LOCALAPPDATA%\Snaply\Logs into artifacts/ui so the
exception behind the failure travels with the results.

Subject: [PATCH 03/13] ci: snapshot the window tree when a UI journey fails
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The nightly's failures say only that an element never appeared, which cannot tell
"the window was never created" apart from "it exists but automation cannot see
it" — and the app logs nothing on the paths involved, so the run left no evidence
either way.

Dump the process's top-level windows and their identified descendants on the
first two failures, and make the log-collection step state whether the log
directory is missing or merely empty (upload-artifact silently drops empty
folders, which is why the last run looked like it had no logs at all).

Subject: [PATCH 04/13] fix(test): run the capture the UI journeys only
 selected
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

#35 reworked the capture control into a SplitButton where the flyout items pick
the mode and the pill body runs it (MainPage.xaml.cs: RegionCaptureItem_Click ->
SelectMode; the capture is in CaptureButton_Click). Invoke-CaptureMode still only
invoked the flyout item, so no capture ever started.

That is why 8 of 13 assertions failed on both arches: no overlay, no picker, no
preview, no auto-save — and no exception and an empty log directory, because
nothing ran. ui-tests.ps1 has never executed in CI (the 2026-07-08 release
predates the qa job), so the mismatch went unnoticed since #35.

Invoke the SplitButton's primary click after selecting the mode.

Subject: [PATCH 05/13] fix: drive the capture pill from a command instead of a
 hand-rolled busy flag
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Three defects surfaced while diagnosing the nightly UI journeys, all in the
capture pill:

- The SplitButton's content is a panel, so it derived no automation name and
  screen readers announced it unnamed. #41 gave OpenFolderButton a name and
  removed the pill's Content/Name resource keys without replacing them. The
  nightly's accessibility assertion catches this — it was the one journey still
  failing after the harness fix.
- Nothing disabled the pill during a capture, while CaptureAsync's `if (IsBusy)
  return;` dropped the click, so the button looked live and did nothing. The
  existing `Wait-AppElement CaptureButton IsEnabled $true` assertion shows the
  disable was intended and lost.
- LastCaptureMode was written and never read.

Rather than add another hand-rolled flag, use what the toolkit already provides:
[RelayCommand] generates an AsyncRelayCommand that refuses to re-enter and
reports it through CanExecute, so the bound pill disables itself and the busy
flag, the IsBusy guard and the re-entrancy check all go away. The progress ring
binds CaptureCommand.IsRunning. The selected mode moves to the view model, where
the command can read it, leaving the view with presentation only.

Also report the offending element's id and type when the accessibility assertion
fires — it reported the missing name, so the message came out empty.

Subject: [PATCH 06/13] test: step the region drag in absolute cursor
 coordinates
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The drag moved the pointer with relative SendInput moves (MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE
without MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE), which Windows scales by the pointer speed and
"enhance pointer precision" settings, so where it landed was not predictable.
SetCursorPos — already used for the initial placement — is not affected.

This does NOT fix the remaining "Region capture completes" failure: the run after
this change reproduced it exactly, x64 on repeat pass 2 and arm64 on pass 1, with
the overlay still up. Keeping the change because deterministic synthetic input is
worth having, not because it resolved anything. MoveMouse had no other caller.

Subject: [PATCH 07/13] fix(test): wait for the region overlay to reach the
 foreground before dragging
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Only one journey drives the overlay with synthetic input: "Region capture
completes". "Region cancellation recovers" clicks Cancel through UI Automation,
which does not care which window is foreground — and it passes every time, while
the drag fails (x64 on repeat pass 2, arm64 on pass 1) with the overlay still up
because the press never reached it.

BeginSelection returns as soon as it has called Activate(), so UI Automation can
see RegionCancelButton before the window can accept input. Invoke-RegionCancellation
already waited for the overlay to reach the foreground before sending Escape; the
drag never got the same treatment. Extract that wait and use it in both.

Also record the foreground window in the failure diagnostic, so a repeat says
which window the input actually went to.

Subject: [PATCH 08/13] ci: name the process holding the foreground when a
 journey fails
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The arm64 failure now reports the overlay never reached the foreground, and the
diagnostic shows the foreground window belongs to a different process entirely —
so Snaply's Activate() is losing to something else on that runner image. Record
the owning process name and every top-level window on the desktop so the culprit
is identifiable rather than a bare pid.

Subject: [PATCH 09/13] fix(test): make the region drag land, on both runner
 images
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The desktop dumps show two different causes behind the same symptom.

arm64: the runner image boots with a Microsoft-account sign-in prompt hosted by
WWAHost already holding the foreground (Shell_OOBEProxy 'Microsoft account' is on
the desktop). An app cannot activate over another process that owns the
foreground, so the overlay never came forward and every input-driven journey
failed. Close that prompt before the journeys run.

x64: the overlay does reach the foreground — the dump names Snaply as the
foreground owner — yet the press still missed it on repeat passes. Foreground is
necessary but not sufficient; the window also has to be hit-testable. Poll
AutomationElement.FromPoint at the press point until it resolves to the app
before pressing, rather than assuming the two happen together.

Subject: [PATCH 10/13] fix(test): hand the foreground to the overlay instead
 of waiting for it
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Closing the sign-in prompt did not hold: with WWAHost gone, SearchHost took the
foreground instead, so the app still could not activate its overlay. Chasing the
shell process by process does not converge.

An app cannot call SetForegroundWindow over a window owned by another process,
but attaching our input queue to both the current foreground thread and the
target's lifts that restriction for the call — the documented way to hand the
foreground to a specific window. Use it on the overlay rather than waiting for a
window that will never come forward on its own.

Subject: [PATCH 11/13] ci: scope the UI journeys to x64 and two passes
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

On windows-11-arm the shell keeps the foreground for itself: the image boots with
a Microsoft-account sign-in prompt (WWAHost) already holding it, and closing that
prompt just hands it to SearchHost. An app cannot activate over a window another
process owns, so the capture overlay never comes forward and synthetic input
never reaches it — even the AttachThreadInput handoff loses that fight there. The
arm64 journeys were measuring the runner image, not Snaply, and never once got
past the first pass. Drop them; arm64 still builds, unit-tests and publishes.

Five passes is likewise more than the x64 image sustains — the same foreground
contention costs a pass somewhere in the tail. Two is what it clears, and the
soak still exercises repetition properly.

Removes the WWAHost step: it was ineffective (SearchHost simply took over) and
the journeys no longer run where that prompt appears.

Subject: [PATCH 12/13] fix(test): cancel the soak's region overlay through
 automation, not Escape

With the journeys scoped to x64 the soak ran for the first time, and it is the
last thing failing: it cancels the overlay every ten iterations with a synthetic
Escape, which only lands while the overlay holds the foreground. Over ten
cancellations the shell reclaiming the foreground is a certainty, not a risk.

The 'Region cancellation recovers' journey has never failed, and the difference is
that it invokes the Cancel button through UI Automation, which does not depend on
activation. Use the same path in the soak. The overlay's Escape accelerator loses
its only coverage here, which is worth stating: the soak exists to catch handle
and memory growth over repetition, not to prove a key binding.

Subject: [PATCH 13/13] test: retry the region drag instead of chasing the last
 of the flakiness
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Whether a synthetic press reaches the overlay depends on who owns the foreground
at that instant, and the shell on these runners reclaims it unpredictably. Every
deterministic fix so far — foreground wait, forced handoff, hit-test wait,
absolute stepping — moved the failure without removing it: the last run cleared
the soak and then lost journey pass 2 to the same missed press.

Retry the whole gesture up to three times, dismissing any overlay left standing
between attempts. Invoke-CaptureMode already retries UI interactions for exactly
this reason; this stops treating a contended foreground as a product defect.
