Dock 12.1.0.6 removed the public JsonConverterFactoryList/JsonConverterList<T>
converters from Dock.Serializer.SystemTextJson that ILSpyDockJson used to
deserialize IList<T> into ObservableCollection<T>. Dock now does the same
substitution with an internal JsonTypeInfo modifier that swaps CreateObject
for IList<T> enumerables. ILSpyDockJson mirrors that technique in its own
modifier chain, which also removes the per-element JsonSerializer.Serialize
side effect the old converter had.
Also bumps Xaml.Behaviors.Avalonia, ProDataGrid, AwesomeAssertions, CliWrap,
NUnit3TestAdapter, and the decompiler minor version to 11.1.

The PowerShell host used to sleep for a fixed 300 s, so any run in which
the process walks got slow (as happened on a starved CI runner) lost the
host mid-fixture and failed the remaining tests for the wrong reason.
Waiting on the test host's PID makes the fixture independent of wall
clock and also guarantees the host disappears with the test host even
if the teardown never runs.

A refused unix socket raises SocketException, which derives from
Win32Exception rather than IOException, so it escaped the filter meant to
skip one unreachable process and failed the whole concurrent enumeration
instead: a machine where any .NET process exits between the port scan and
the connect showed an empty list. The classification is now a named
predicate covering both transports.
Two dialog defects shared a shape - state left behind by a query nobody is
waiting for any more. Rebuilding the bound collection on every filter
keystroke made the grid drop its selection and write that null back,
discarding the assemblies of a process the new filter still matched; and the
branch taken when nothing is selected cleared no loading flag, while the
query it superseded was no longer allowed to, so the progress bar animated
over an empty pane. Relatedly, the two-second command budget expired into a
process listed with null metadata, which made a slow machine look like a
runtime that answered with nothing; it is longer now, and expiry names the
process it gave up on, since the only thing that ever reaches the far end of
that budget is a runtime which will never answer.
The test gaps are closed the same way: a real dynamic assembly pins the
in-memory classification, the managed-only assertion is stated as the
property instead of a list of native names to exclude, and the .NET
Framework path gets live tests. Those showed that a desktop CLR process
mostly reports NGen native images rather than the IL assemblies behind them,
which is now recorded as the fidelity gap it is.

ILSpy resolves an assembly's references against the target framework it
detects from the TargetFrameworkAttribute. When that attribute is missing,
wrong, or the user wants to force a different framework, there was no way to
hint the correct one, so references could resolve against the wrong runtime
pack or framework directory.
A LoadedAssembly can now carry a TargetFrameworkIdOverride that short-circuits
detection (it is the single value every LoadedAssembly-based resolution path
reads), is persisted in the assembly-list XML, and is carried across a reload
so a runtime change re-resolves against the new framework. The "Set Target
Framework" context-menu entry edits it through a dialog with a free-form text
box and an always-visible list of common monikers to pick from (the app forces
overlay popups, so a dropdown would be clamped inside the small dialog); input
is validated and converted from the short TFM users know (net48) to the long
FrameworkName form the resolver consumes (.NETFramework,Version=v4.8) via
NuGet. The direct DetectTargetFrameworkId callers in the decompiler core
(project export, language version) intentionally keep reading the real
attribute; only reference resolution is overridden.
Resurrects a 2020 prototype (branch tfmoverride) re-implemented against the
current ILSpyX/Avalonia code, whose surrounding structures no longer matched.

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 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.

Windows maps CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1-9 and LPT1-9 to devices -- on many
builds even with an extension appended, so a type named Con made both
whole-project export and the save dialog fail with IOException '\\.\Con'.
CleanUpName only checked for reserved names after re-appending the file
extension, where they never match, and the save-dialog default-name
helpers did not check them at all. The escape appends the underscore to
the base name (con_.txt, not con.txt_) because device-name parsing
ignores everything after the first dot, and is applied per path segment
so reserved directory names produced by namespaces are covered too. The
ILSpy.Tests.Windows fixture verifies on a real Windows filesystem that
the escaped names are creatable.

Opening a package from a feed previously meant downloading the .nupkg by
hand and using File > Open (#2313). The new File menu command searches any
public V3 feed (editable package-source list, persisted as an MRU in the
ILSpy settings), offers the latest 100 versions in a dropdown, and downloads
into the NuGet global packages folder so the cache is shared with every
other NuGet consumer on the machine and nothing is fetched twice. The cached
.nupkg is then opened exactly like the regular Open command. Feed access
sits behind INuGetFeedClient so the headless test suite covers search,
paging, version selection, download, cancellation, and error surfacing
without touching the network.

The Microsoft.DiaSymReader / .PortablePdb packages pull NETStandard.Library
1.6.1, which drags in 4.3.0 builds of System.Net.Http, System.Private.Uri
and System.Text.RegularExpressions, all carrying known advisories (NU1902/
NU1903). They are framework-provided at runtime on net10.0; pin the patched
4.3.4 / 4.3.2 / 4.3.1 via central transitive pinning so NuGet audit passes.
Enabling transitive pinning also aligns a handful of other transitive
packages to their declared central versions.

The Pdb2Xml command (ILSpy) and the PDB round-trip tests (Decompiler.Tests)
reference Microsoft.DiaSymReader*, previously gated on the build host being
Windows. That made dotnet restore resolve a different graph on Windows than
on Linux -- the packages (and their transitive tail: DiaSymReader.PortablePdb,
the legacy NETCore.Platforms/Win32 packages) appear only on Windows, and
DiaSymReader.Native flips between Direct and CentralTransitive. So a checkout
could not be developed across OSes without the committed packages.lock.json
churning on every Windows restore.
Drop the OS gate (keep Debug-only) so the restored graph, and the committed
lock, are identical on every OS. The consuming code is still gated by DEBUG
and WINDOWS, so on non-Windows the packages are restored but never compiled
in; the native asset only resolves for win-* RIDs.
The "Verify package contents" step (which checks the committed *.filelist
snapshots still match the built VSIX/MSI contents) had been excluding
packages.lock.json from its git diff to tolerate that per-OS churn. With the
locks now identical across OSes the carve-out is unnecessary, so it goes back
to a plain git diff --exit-code.

Replace the Windows-only .bat helpers (clean / debugbuild / releasebuild /
restore / updatedeps and BuildTools/format) with cross-platform pwsh
scripts at the repo root: restore.ps1, build.ps1 (-Configuration), clean.ps1,
updatedeps.ps1 and BuildTools/format.ps1, alongside the existing publish.ps1.
Enable a packages.lock.json for every project by hoisting
RestorePackagesWithLockFile into the root Directory.Build.props (the four
core libraries set it individually before) and commit the generated locks,
so restores are repeatable and CI can cache packages off them.
Cache the NuGet packages folder in the three setup-dotnet workflows
(build-ilspy, build-frontends, codeql-analysis), keyed on the lock files
per the setup-dotnet caching guidance.
Scope the Debug "Verify package contents" check to the *.filelist outputs
it actually generates. A project's packages.lock.json is keyed only by
(framework, RID), with no host-OS axis, so a lock produced on Linux
legitimately differs from one produced on Windows whenever an OS-conditional
PackageReference applies (Debug+Windows pulls Microsoft.DiaSymReader*). The
Windows restore then rewrites those locks; that churn must not fail a step
whose job is to police the VSIX/MSI file lists.
Also drop the dead ILSpy.BamlDecompiler publish line from
publishlocaldev.ps1, mirroring the earlier publish.ps1 fix.

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.
Splits Windows-only tests out of the cross-platform ILSpy.Avalonia.Tests
project so the Pdb2Xml / OpenFromGac code paths (which compile only on
Windows) can be exercised without conditional `#if WINDOWS` blocks inside
the main test suite.
