A rebuilt WPF project only resolves its own pack URIs when every entry of
"<AssemblyName>.g.resources" comes back under the resource ID it had before.
The file on disk cannot carry that ID: it is sanitized for the file system,
and the ID itself is escaped. Verified against a WPF assembly built for this:
the WPF build tasks re-escape whatever LogicalName they are given, so the item
has to hand them the decoded name, and an entry left as EmbeddedResource
rebuilds into a manifest resource of its own instead of into ".g.resources".
The adjustment is made where the items are collected, so it covers the base
class and both hosts that plug their own BAML handling into it without
widening the WriteResourceToFile or IResourceFileHandler contracts.
The Resource build action this gives them is also what #2253 asks for.

The SDK-style writer only ever emitted EmbeddedResource items, so every other
item type the export produced never reached the project file. XAML recovered
from BAML lands in Page items: ILSpy wrote the .xaml files to disk and the
project referenced none of them, leaving an exported WPF project that cannot
rebuild.
Explicit items collide with the SDK's own globs - a UseWPF project globs
**/*.xaml into Page, and NETSDK1022 rejects the duplicate - so each include is
preceded by a remove of the same item type, the pattern the EmbeddedResource
path already uses. Setting EnableDefaultPageItems=false would work as well, but
it is WPF-specific and switches off a glob for the whole project, whereas the
remove is per item, applies to any item type, and keeps the SDK's item
definitions (XamlRuntime) in effect.

WPF's build tasks key every Page and Resource item in
"<AssemblyName>.g.resources" by the item's relative path, lower-cased and
run through Uri.GetComponents(Path, UriEscaped) - so a folder named
"Resource Test" arrives as "resource%20test", and a folder named in any
non-ASCII script arrives as a run of UTF-8 percent escapes. Those escapes
are not part of the name; sanitizing them turned "resource%20test" into
"resource-20test" and any Chinese or umlaut folder into a line of hex.
Measured against a WPF assembly built for this: only space, '#', '{', '}'
and non-ASCII bytes are ever escaped, and Uri.UnescapeDataString is the
exact inverse - anything the escaper leaves alone contains no percent
sign, and a literal one arrives as %25. Only the WPF-generated containers
are affected, so a percent sign in any other .resources file stays part
of the name.

One member the decompiler could not handle aborted the whole export, so a
single unsupported method in a large assembly left the user with nothing: no
sources, no .csproj, no way around it. Recovering silently would trade that
for a worse outcome - broken output nobody knows is broken - so every failure
is recorded, written where the content would have gone, and pointed at the
issue tracker.
The recovery has to hold for anything the export touches, not just method
bodies: a file that cannot be created, a resource that cannot be decoded, an
output visitor that throws mid-type. Each of those costs its own unit and
nothing else, and the units behind a failure are still produced - dropping
them would make the export look complete when it is not.
Consumers that relied on the exception keep their failure signal: ilspycmd
exits non-zero and lists the failures, the PowerShell cmdlets raise an error
record per failure, and the round-trip suite asserts the export reported none
- otherwise a crash on a method its own tests never call would ship green.

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.
