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.

Project/solution export (and other RunInNewTabAsync work) opened a tab with a
static title and a permanently indeterminate progress bar, even though the
whole-project decompiler already produces per-file DecompilationProgress that
was being dropped.
Wire that progress through: DecompilationOptions carries an
IProgress<DecompilationProgress> that DecompileAsProject sets on the
WholeProjectDecompiler; a new RunInNewTabAsync overload hands the work a
UI-thread-marshaled Progress<T> feeding the tab. The tab now animates the
braille spinner over its title (the operation name) and shows a determinate bar
plus the file currently being written and an "N of M" count. Solution export
reports per-assembly rather than per-file, since its assemblies decompile in
parallel and per-file reports would race. The determinate bar is pinned to 75%
of the overlay width so it doesn't jitter as the status text changes.

The Debug Steps pane previously only served the ILAst language (one node per
IL transform). The C# decompiler's intermediate AST states were instead
exposed as a row of extra "C# - after TRANSFORM" dropdown languages, which
cluttered the language list and only let you jump to one fixed step at a time.
Generalise the pane to an IDebugStepProvider interface: ILAst keeps its IL
steps, and the C# language now contributes one step per AST transform, mapping
a selected step onto options.StepLimit (already honoured by CreateDecompiler).
Each language also supplies its own options object, so the writing-options
checkboxes show for ILAst and nothing for C#. The per-transform dropdown
languages are removed in favour of this.

The Export Project/Solution, Save Code and Compare tests decompiled whatever
the default assembly list seeds -- System.Linq, CoreLib, the Uri assembly --
so each spent ~10s purely on type count (Solution/CreateSolution/SaveCode/
DecompileAssembly ~10s, CompareView ~4.5s).
Add FixtureAssembly, which emits a minimal two-type assembly via
PersistedAssemblyBuilder, and point these tests at it. They still exercise the
full project/solution writer, save-to-file and compare-tree pipelines, but
each now runs well under a second (e.g. Solution_Mode 10.8s -> 0.3s,
CreateSolution 10.8s -> 0.2s, ShowIdentical 4.5s -> 0.3s).

Port the mixed IL/C# disassembler language that the previous version
shipped: it disassembles IL with the decompiled C# source interleaved
above each instruction (mapped via sequence points) as gray comments. The
language was missing entirely from the Avalonia tree, though it is a
Release-visible entry in the language dropdown.

The quick Save Code path exports a project (one assembly) or a solution
(several) straight through a file picker, with no way to tune the
output. Add a dedicated, discoverable "Export Project/Solution..." entry
(File menu + assembly context menu, alongside Save Code) that opens a
configuration dialog: pick the output folder, preview the projects that
will be written (with invalid / duplicate-name / PDB-eligible badges),
toggle project-format and decompiler options, optionally sign with a
strong-name key, and optionally emit a portable PDB per assembly --
defaulting source-embedding off since the project's .cs are on disk.
The export runs on a clone of the live settings (never the persisted
instance) behind the tab's cancellable progress UI and reports into the
active decompiler tab. StrongNameKeyFile now flows through
DecompilationOptions into the project writer, which had no reachable
setter before. The engine (ProjectExporter) and the preview computation
are split out from the window so they are headless-testable.

The single-assembly project save was already wired, but selecting
multiple assemblies and choosing Save Code only ever saved one of
them: SolutionWriter had never been ported, so there was no path that
emitted a .sln with one decompiled project per assembly.
Port SolutionWriter UI-agnostically and route both Save Code surfaces
(the context-menu entry and the Ctrl+S command) through a shared
SolutionExport helper that recognises a multi-assembly selection,
prompts for the .sln path, runs the export behind the tab's cancellable
progress UI, and reports the result into the active decompiler tab
(matching how the other long-running commands surface their output).
Unlike the prior app, the project-export path writes the .csproj to
disk itself and only returns a breadcrumb through the text output, so
each project's on-disk file is located after decompiling rather than
captured from the output stream.

WPF parity: under DEBUG, the language dropdown gains one extra entry per
C# AST transform — "C# - no transforms", "C# - after FirstTransformName",
… "C# - after LastTransformName" — so a developer can pick a step and
see the decompiler's mid-pipeline AST output.

Brings the assembly-to-project export across. Right-click an assembly in
the tree (or use the existing File → Save Code / Ctrl+S that calls into
`node.Save()`) and choose between two filters in the save picker:

Adds the Language abstraction so tree-node labels render through the
active output language instead of raw metadata names.
