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.

Textual assembly resources (JSON, XML, Markdown, plain text, ...) rendered
as an opaque byte count with only a Save button. Detect text vs binary from
the payload (size cap, BOM-aware decoding, strict UTF-8, rejecting control
characters) and pick a highlighting extension by resource-name extension,
falling back to content sniffing (angle-bracket for XML/HTML, an actual
JsonDocument parse for JSON) when the extension is unknown. Text renders as
the view's whole content with the matching highlighting; binary keeps the
byte-count-plus-Save presentation.
Container resources unpack their entries as raw byte arrays. Route those
through the same IResourceNodeFactory pipeline as top-level resources so a
nested .baml gets the BAML view, an image its viewer, and so on, instead of
the generic byte node; the .resources and !AvaloniaResources views also list
their entries by name. Register built-in AvaloniaEdit definitions (JSON,
Markdown, ...) with the theme manager on lookup so they follow the dark
theme like the bundled ones.

Avalonia apps pack every resource (compiled XAML, image/SVG assets, ...)
behind a single !AvaloniaResources manifest blob, which until now fell
through to the generic resource node and could not be browsed. Parse the
blob's index and expose each packed file as its own entry, mirroring how
.resources files are unpacked, so individual files can be viewed and
saved. The reader is bounds-checked against crafted offsets/sizes in the
same defensive spirit as the recent .rsrc parsing guards.

The Avalonia port gave DecompilationOptions a parameterless constructor
that silently defaults to new DecompilerSettings(). Several paths picked
it up and decompiled with default settings where the WPF version used
the user's current options: tree member filtering (CSharpLanguage.
ShowMember), PDB generation, the single-file / project / solution Save
Code paths, and the DEBUG decompile-all commands.
Promote the live-snapshot logic that was private to DecompilerTabPage-
Model (settings clone + Display-option bridge + toolbar language
version) to SettingsService.CreateEffectiveDecompilerSettings and use
it at every entry point. Remove the parameterless DecompilationOptions
constructor and make SolutionWriter require settings, so reaching for
defaults is an explicit choice rather than a silent fallback - that
default is exactly what masked these regressions. Search deliberately
keeps default settings (it only needs a type system to materialise).

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.

The previous version's About page carried a Check-for-updates / Download
button and an "automatically check for updates every week" toggle. Embed
both back into the About output: the button reuses the toolbar banner's
shared UpdatePanelViewModel (same check, same state), and the toggle is
two-way bound to UpdateSettings.AutomaticUpdateCheckEnabled.

Adds ICSharpCode.BamlDecompiler as a ProjectReference, ports IResourceFileHandler +
ResourceFileHandlerContext from WPF, and plumbs both through:

Adds a leading paragraph describing what each test verifies and Arrange /
Act / Assert markers (split into numbered phases for multi-step tests) so
the intent of each fixture is readable from comments alone.

Override Save on ResourcesFileTreeNode to present a dual-format file picker
("Resources file" / "Resource XML") and dispatch by chosen extension; .resx
re-emits the entries via the bundled ICSharpCode.Decompiler.Util.ResXResourceWriter
while .resources copies the original byte stream. The base ResourceTreeNode's
inline Save button now dispatches through the virtual Save() so this override
is actually reached — previously it called the private SaveAsync directly,
making subclass overrides unreachable from the inline button. Tests pin the
WriteResX output and the FilePickers filter parsing.

Replace the comment-line dump in ResourcesFileTreeNode.Decompile with two
AvaloniaUI DataGrid views — ResourceStringTable for string entries (Name/Value)
and ResourceObjectTable for everything else (Name/Value/Type, including
ResourceSerializedObject and primitive-typed values). otherEntries collection
plus SerializedObjectRepresentation row model are added on the node so
ResX export (next commit) can iterate the same shape. Test pins the behaviour:
a synthetic .resources stream produces three UIElements (Save button + two
grids) where the prior implementation produced one.

Five new IResourceNodeFactory implementations route .xml/.xsd/.xslt to a shared
XmlResourceEntryNode (text + XML highlighting via SyntaxExtensionOverride on the
output), .xaml to XamlResourceEntryNode (same pattern), and .png/.gif/.bmp/.jpg /
.ico / .cur to image-rendering nodes that inline the bitmap with a Save button.
SyntaxExtensionOverride is read after Decompile to switch the editor's highlighter
without changing the active language. Cursor handling flips byte 2 of the on-disk
header so Skia decodes the .cur as an icon for preview while Save preserves the
original bytes. ResourceFactoryTests pin the dispatch — including .xsd — and the
existing assembly-tree assertion is relaxed since typed entries are no longer all
ResourceTreeNodes.
