These explain the code by pointing at the front-end that used to implement it.
That front-end is no longer in the tree, so the referent a reader would go
looking for does not exist: "Mirrors WPF's RefreshDecompiledView() call" names
a method nobody can open. In almost every case the sentence beside it already
carried the reason, and the reference was an appendix.
Comments citing a live platform difference are left alone, because there the
comparison is the reason rather than a memory: Avalonia genuinely has no
global RequerySuggested signal, which is why SimpleCommand exists at all.
One had gone stale rather than merely redundant. DerivedTypesEntryNode
described consulting the active search term as a missing feature to reinstate,
but SearchTermMatches is deliberately a no-op so the assembly tree stays
independent of the search pane; the comment now says so.

The global:: prefixes existed because the test project's namespace
ICSharpCode.ILSpy.Tests used to shadow the app's old top-level ILSpy
namespace. With the UI code back under ICSharpCode.ILSpy there is
nothing left to shadow, so plain fully qualified names resolve fine.

The Avalonia port had placed the UI app in an ILSpy.* namespace tree,
while the csproj RootNamespace and every prior release (through 10.1)
use ICSharpCode.ILSpy.*. Restoring the historical namespace reduces the
public API diff against release/10.1 for plugin authors and removes the
shadowing that forced global:: qualifiers in the test project. The
Images class and AccessOverlayIcon enum move back into the root
namespace (as in 10.1), since an ICSharpCode.ILSpy.Images namespace
would shadow the Images class for all code inside ICSharpCode.ILSpy.

To audit what each UI test actually exercises, every step now snapshots the
live window to <TestFixtureName>/<TestName>_<NN>_<ShortDescription>.png: a
booted frame (emitted automatically by TestHarness.BootAsync), one after each
state-changing action, and one before each assertion. Flip ILSPY_TESTS_VISIBLE=1
to render the filmstrip; it lands under %TEMP%/ilspy-test-captures (overridable
via ILSPY_TEST_CAPTURES).
The step number and fixture/test name are derived automatically so inserting a
breakpoint never renumbers the rest. The identity is recorded up front from the
real ITest in an ITestAction hook rather than read live: NUnit's
TestContext.CurrentContext does not flow onto async continuations, so a capture
after an await would otherwise collide under the ad-hoc context. And when
rendering is off the whole call is a true no-op -- not even a dispatcher pump --
so instrumenting a test can never perturb the navigation/tab timing it asserts
on. Full headless suite stays green.
Nearly every headless UI test opened with the same four-line prologue
(resolve the shared MainWindow, show it, cast its DataContext, wait for the
assembly list), then repeated the corelib lookup, the EnsureLazyChildren +
Children.OfType<T>().Single() drill, the registry single-by-header lookups,
and the open-an-assembly-and-wait dance. The duplication made the intent of
each test hard to see and every signature tweak a suite-wide edit.
Collapse those into TestHarness (BootAsync, OpenAssemblyAsync, GetCommand,
GetEntry) and TreeNavigation extensions (FindCoreLib, GetChild<T>, Expand<T>),
then apply them across the suite. Net ~865 lines of boilerplate removed with
no change in behaviour; the full headless suite stays green.
Replace the single text-bar above the grid with one filter input per
column, baked into each DataGridColumn's header. The page model carries
a ColumnFilters collection alongside Columns; the filter predicate ANDs
every non-empty column's case-insensitive substring match. Column
instances are built fresh per page so sibling tabs don't share filter
state, and the column name moves to Tag for cell-level lookups now that
Header is a Panel.

Tree-node selection now updates the inner Content of one persistent
ContentTabPage instead of swapping the dockable in the dock. The
wrapper view (ContentTabPageView) keeps both inner views — the
decompiler text editor and the metadata grid — pre-realised in the
visual tree from construction time and toggles which is visible based
on Content's runtime type.

Tree-node selections always operate on whatever document tab is
currently active. If the active tab is the wrong concrete type for the
new selection (e.g. a decompiler tab is up and the user picks a
metadata node, or vice-versa), the active dockable is replaced in
place — close the old, add the new, no sibling tab left behind.
Previously the host added a sibling tab and switched focus, which
piled up dockables and made "back to entity from metadata" feel
broken because the user could see two tabs competing for the slot.

Picking DOS Header → COFF Header → DOS Header was opening three
dockables because ShowCustomTab unconditionally added a fresh tab. The
docking host now searches for an open tab of the same concrete type,
copies the new node's tab state onto it, and re-activates it — same
shape as how the single decompiler tab gets reused across tree-node
selections.

DOS / COFF / Optional / DataDirectories / DebugDirectory now expose
their entries through CreateTab() instead of writing a fixed-width text
table from Decompile. The grid view shows each entry's columns
reflected directly off the row shape — Phase 1's text table was a
stand-in until this view shipped. The existing PE-header tests are
rewritten to assert against MetadataTablePageModel.Items / Columns;
adds a Waiters.WaitForMetadataTabAsync helper used by every grid-tab
test.

Adds the five PE-format leaves (DOS / COFF / Optional / DataDirectories
/ DebugDirectory) under each assembly's Metadata folder. Phase 1 renders
them as fixed-width text tables via Decompile; Phase 2 will swap to a
DataGrid tab. Introduces Entry / BitEntry / ColumnInfoAttribute and a
MetadataTextWriter helper that the heap and table nodes reuse.
