Adds a PowerShell-only UI test suite that drives the PowerToys Command Palette (CmdPal) module via Microsoft's winappCli UI-Automation client and translates the manual release-checklist boxes into runnable assertions. Contents (focused on CmdPal as a worked example): - WinAppCli.PowerToys: shared helper module (test harness, PT settings, shared events, UIA actions, asserts, lifecycle). - modules/_shared/Assertions.ps1: uniform Assert-* vocabulary. - modules/command-palette-checklist.ps1: CmdPal orchestrator entry point with -Only/-Skip/-Tag filtering. - modules/cmdpal/: 24 per-provider test files + CmdPal-specific helpers. - Supporting docs: README, AAA-PATTERN-CONVENTION, 0.99 coverage-gaps. The suite runs against an installed PowerToys (winget/AppX); it does not build the product. Verified locally against CmdPal 0.11 with winappCli 0.3.1: CmdPal_Installed_* and all 6 CmdPal_Calculator_* functional tests pass (0 failures).

Reachability analysis (direct + transitive call graph) from the CmdPal orchestrator, test files and helpers showed 4 function files in WinAppCli.PowerToys are never reached by the suite: - 05-PtSettingsJson.ps1 (CmdPal mutation tests use their own cmdpal/helpers/cmdpal-settings.ps1 backup/restore, not the generic Tier-B Backup-/Restore-/Set-PtSettingJson) - 11-MouseInput.ps1 (no mouse simulation in CmdPal tests) - 13-Asserts.ps1 (Assert-Eventually* — CmdPal uses Wait-Until + the _shared Assert-* vocabulary instead) - 14-Lifecycle.ps1 (Use-ClipboardSnapshot / New-FreshAppX unused; CmdPal uses Use-CmdPalClipboardSnapshot) Removed the files and their entries from FunctionsToExport. Module still imports cleanly (63 functions); CmdPal_Installed_* + all CmdPal_Calculator_* tests still pass (7 PASS / 0 FAIL). Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Summary
Adds a PowerShell-only UI test suite that drives the PowerToys Command Palette (CmdPal) module via Microsoft's winappCli UI-Automation client, translating the manual release-checklist boxes into runnable assertions.
This PR is intentionally focused on Command Palette as a worked example of the winappcli approach, so it can serve as a template for porting other modules.
What's included
WinAppCli.PowerToys/— shared helper module (test harness, PT settings read/write, shared-event signalling, UIA actions, asserts, lifecycle).modules/_shared/Assertions.ps1— uniformAssert-*vocabulary.modules/command-palette-checklist.ps1— CmdPal orchestrator / entry point with-Only/-Skip/-Tagfiltering.modules/cmdpal/— 24 per-provider test files (Calculator, Files, WebSearch, System, Shell, Registry, Dock/Pin, Settings-UI, stability, mutation, …) plus CmdPal-specific helpers.README.md,AAA-PATTERN-CONVENTION.md,command-palette-099-coverage-gaps.md.How it runs
The suite runs against an installed PowerToys (winget / AppX) and does not build the product. Prerequisites: winappCli ≥ 0.3.1, PowerShell 7.2+, PowerToys with CmdPal enabled.
Validation
Verified locally against CmdPal 0.11.11561.0 with winappCli 0.3.1:
CmdPal_Installed_*→ PASS 1 · FAIL 0CmdPal_Calculator_*(functional, drives the live UI end-to-end: typing, invoking, clipboard + on-disk history assertions) → PASS 6 · FAIL 0
