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.

Reference links navigated on pointer-press, which meant a press-drag
over a link could never select its text -- the press fired navigation
and handled the event before a selection could start. Move navigation
to pointer-release and only follow the link when the pointer did not
drag past the click threshold, matching the WPF view's mouse-up
handling. A press-drag now selects link text like any other span.

A Debug.Assert raised on a background decompile thread runs through
TraceInternal.Fail, which holds the global trace lock while invoking
the listener; the listener blocks on the UI thread to show the
assertion dialog. Meanwhile the UI thread, mid-navigation, runs a
layout pass whose virtualizing panel raises a binding error that
Avalonia logs via Trace.WriteLine -- which blocks acquiring that same
global trace lock. The two threads deadlock and the app freezes with
no dialog.
Mark the listener thread-safe and disable the global trace lock so
TraceInternal dispatches to it without serializing, removing the
contended lock between the asserting thread and the UI thread.

Selecting text inside the popup closed it: the selection drag captures
the pointer, so sweeping past the popup edge fired the content's
PointerExited with IsPointerOver already false. The close veto now
covers pointer-over, keyboard-focus-within (so a finished selection
survives for Ctrl+C, as the WPF tooltip did), and pointer capture held
inside the popup; only a document change force-closes.

Doc-comment crefs in hover tooltips rendered as link-styled but inert
text, and cref resolution was never wired up. Crefs now resolve against
the current tab's assembly list and navigate through the same
NavigateToReferenceEventArgs channel the analyzer uses; href links open
via the TopLevel launcher. Avalonia inlines are not input elements, so
links are hit-testable TextBlocks embedded via InlineUIContainer.
Interactive content also requires the popup to survive the pointer
travelling onto it: the editor's exit handler now tolerates the
overlay-popup enter/exit ordering via the distance corridor, and the
popup closes when the pointer leaves its own content instead.

The hover documentation popup has been invisible since
X11PlatformOptions.OverlayPopups was enabled (c075c2bc8): popups are
hosted in an OverlayPopupHost, a ContentControl that resolves its
control theme through the Popup's logical parent. The popup was
constructed detached (valid for the native PopupRoot hosts used
before), so the host stayed template-less, never materialized its
child, and rendered as nothing. Declaring the popup in the view's
XAML gives the host a styling root.

The WPF app showed the disassembled IL header when hovering a member
reference in IL view, and the opcode's XML documentation when hovering
an instruction. The Avalonia port lost both: ILLanguage fell back to
the base ambience one-liner and the opcode tooltip carried only the
name and encoding. Opcode docs additionally need a modern-.NET source:
the WPF code read the .NET Framework reference-assembly docs, which do
not exist on modern .NET, so MscorlibDocumentation now falls back to
the ref pack parallel to the hosting runtime.

When the current language is not an IDebugStepProvider (e.g. the IL
disassembler), the Debug Steps pane kept displaying the previous
language's step tree, and its commands still triggered re-decompiles
with a step limit the language ignores. Detaching now clears the tree
and the view shows a "not available" note until a step-providing
language is selected again.

Compilation uses the .NET builds of the Roslyn toolsets (tasks/netcore*,
bincore csc.dll/vbc.dll launched through the dotnet host). ilasm/ildasm
options use the '-' prefix, which all platforms accept. The dotnet-hosted
compilers have no implicit references or SDK path: net40 compiles pass
mscorlib explicitly, and vbc gets -sdkpath, _MYTYPE=Empty and
-vbruntime:Microsoft.VisualBasic.Core.dll (the facade in the ref packs is
not followed for runtime helpers). The TestRunner gets a self-contained
build for the host platform.
Configurations depending on Windows-only tools or runtimes (legacy
csc/vbc, Roslyn 1.x/2.x, mcs, Force32Bit, executing net40 binaries) are
filtered from the matrix off-Windows via Tester.SupportedOnCurrentPlatform
or gated with [Platform("Win")]. PdbGen comparisons normalize document
name separators, and Correctness/Async uses Console.IsInputRedirected
instead of the Windows-only Console.CapsLock.

Hosts without a .NET Framework installation (e.g. Linux and macOS) have
no GAC; the only system-wide assembly store there is the shared-framework
directory of the runtime executing the decompiler, and
UniversalAssemblyResolver only consulted it through the version <= 4.0
legacy fallback. This made e.g. the type-forwards of a netstandard facade
(pointing to a versioned System.Runtime) unresolvable, which left
well-known types like Nullable<T> without a definition and among other
things misaligned nullability decoding (Nullable<T> occupies no slot in
the nullable metadata, so it must be recognized).
On Windows nothing the GAC answered changes; the new fallback only adds
resolutions that previously failed outright.

The decompiled view only offered navigation on member names; finding
what an override actually overrides required opening the analyzer.
Attaching a reference to the modifier token gives the same
go-to-definition affordance Visual Studio has on 'override'. The
reference resolves via InheritanceHelper.GetBaseMember, so it targets
the nearest overridden member and degrades to plain text when the base
member cannot be resolved.

Two failure modes that both showed the user the "no" cursor with no
other feedback:
1. ResolveDropTarget returned null when e.Source had no
SharpTreeViewItem ancestor, so Explorer drops landing in the gap
beneath the last row (or onto an empty list) never reached
SharpTreeNode.InternalDrop.
2. The middle 50% of a row produces a DropPlace.Inside target on the
row's own node. Most concrete SharpTreeNodes inherit the base CanDrop
(returns false), so a literal "drop a .dll onto an assembly row"
refused even though AssemblyListTreeNode happily accepts that payload.
For (1), fall back to (Root, Children.Count, DropPlace.Inside) when no
row is hit. For (2), introduce PickAcceptingTarget which retries with
the empty-space (root) target when the initial CanDrop is false. Both
OnDragOver and OnDrop go through the same picker so the cursor and the
actual drop agree on the outcome. The retry skips when the initial
target already IS the root, so a real refusal still surfaces as "no".
The marker adorner stays hidden for empty-space drops because the
place is always Inside (Item is null for that case); the existing
DropPlace.Inside early return covers it.
DropTarget, DropPlace, and the two new helpers are internal-visible to
the ILSpy.Tests project for the unit tests that assert the fallback
chain.

Frozen tabs each cache their own decompiled output, but the language
change handler only refreshed ActiveDecompilerTab — hard-wired to the
preview tab — and the display-setting refresh only reached the preview
tab's cached content model, so frozen (and floated) tabs kept showing
stale output until manually re-selected. The handler predates the
freeze feature, which introduced multiple sibling decompiler tabs
without widening it.
Both paths now iterate every decompiler tab across all document docks
(the walk CancelPendingOperationsAsync already used, extracted as
AllDecompilerTabs), and the language handler uses Redecompile instead
of the CurrentNode re-assignment hack.

Three follow-ups so the WPF-era ILSpy.xml survives a load-save-load
cycle through the Avalonia host without losing data the user expected
to keep.
Preserve unknown children verbatim. LoadFromXml only interprets a
known set of element names (KnownChildren) and stashes everything
else; SaveToXml re-emits the stash after the known section. The
AvalonDock <DockLayout> blob the WPF host writes is incompatible with
the Avalonia Dock host and we don't want to interpret it, but blank-
ing it on save would discard a WPF user's saved layout the first
time they launched the Avalonia build. The same stash future-proofs
older builds against fields added in newer ones.
Emit the legacy on-disk shape on save. WindowBounds is written as a
CSV body "L,T,W,H" (the WPF Rect TypeConverter format) instead of
Left/Top/Width/Height attributes, and ActiveTreeViewPath <Node>
values are \xNNNN-hex-escaped on write. With both directions of the
conversion in this file a file written by the Avalonia build is
still readable by an older ILSpy 10.x install, and the diff against
a pre-existing ILSpy.xml stays small during the transition.
Wire SelectedSearchMode and ActiveAutoLoadedAssembly. The WPF host
persisted both: the search-pane mode picker so the user's last
choice survives restarts, and the file path of the auto-loaded
(dependency) assembly the saved tree-path lands in so the restore
can re-open it before walking. The Avalonia code read both into
properties that nothing wrote to. Now SearchPaneModel restores
SelectedSearchMode on construction and writes back on change via
SettingsService, and AssemblyTreeModel walks the selection's
ancestor chain to find the owning AssemblyTreeNode, stores its
LoadedAssembly.FileName when IsAutoLoaded, and re-opens that file
(when it still exists) before RestoreSelectedPathAsync.

The new Avalonia SessionSettings reads WindowBounds as Left/Top/Width/Height
attributes and reads ActiveTreeViewPath node values raw, but ILSpy 10.x wrote
WindowBounds as a CSV element body ("L,T,W,H", the Rect TypeConverter format)
and \xNNNN-hex-escaped every non-letter-or-digit char in each Node value (so
"TomsToolbox.Wpf" round-tripped through XML as "TomsToolbox\x002EWpf"). On
first launch against an existing ILSpy.xml that means the saved window
position resets to the default and the selected tree node never restores --
the escaped path can't match a live node's ToString().
Accept the CSV body when the WindowBounds element has no attributes, and
decode \xNNNN escapes in tree-view node values. Both fall back through the
existing ParseDouble defaults if a piece is missing, so a corrupted entry
won't crash startup.
Lock the shape in with tests against the actual section the WPF host emits,
plus a forward-compat pair confirming LoadFromXml ignores unknown children
(DockLayout, SelectedSearchMode, ActiveAutoLoadedAssembly) and SaveToXml
never echoes them back -- the AvalonDock schema doesn't translate to the
Avalonia Dock host and would otherwise persist forever as dead state.

WPF showed a row Offset column and decoded the Kind GUID into one cell
combining heap offset, friendly name, and raw GUID; the Avalonia table
only carried the bare heap offsets. Offset follows the GetRowOffset
convention every other table uses. Kind is plain text rather than a
hex column plus tooltip so the per-column filter matches the friendly
names.

Selecting a row in the CustomDebugInformation table now previews its
Value blob beneath it, completing WPF row-details parity: state-machine
hoisted local scopes, compilation options, metadata references, and
tuple element names parse into typed sub-grid rows; source-link JSON
shows as text; everything else — unrecognized kinds, embedded source,
and malformed structured blobs — degrades to a hex dump, as in WPF.
The parser switches on the Kind GUID directly via KnownGuids; the
entry deliberately carries no decoded-kind state, leaving that to the
kind-column work that builds on this.

WPF ILSpy used DataGrid row details in three places: the COFF and
Optional header views (flag-bit breakdown of the Characteristics /
DLL Characteristics words, permanently expanded) and the
CustomDebugInformation table (decoded Value blob, visible when
selected). The Avalonia port already carried the data — both header
nodes populate Entry.RowDetails and the column builder skips it — but
nothing displayed it.
ProDataGrid builds the row-details template once per details element
and recycles the built control across rows, swapping only the
DataContext, so a WPF-style template selector would go stale;
MetadataRowDetailsControl re-runs its content factory on every
DataContext change instead. Per-row initial visibility has no
SetDetailsVisibilityForItem equivalent and recycling resets
AreDetailsVisible, so the view re-derives it in LoadingRow. Row
activation now ignores gestures originating inside the details
presenter — selecting text in a details blob must not navigate away.
This lands the infrastructure plus the two header consumers; the
CustomDebugInformation details build on the EmbeddedSource decoding
work and follow with it. ConfigurePage on MetadataTableTreeNode is
the hook that consumer overrides.

Clicking inside the open flags filter popup could act on the
DataGridColumnHeader underneath: unhandled press/release pairs bubbled
out of the popup into the header (which treats them as a sort click
and flashes its pressed visual), and on X11 overlay popups the
light-dismiss machinery could even re-target a click's press directly
at the header while the popup stayed open.
The filter UI is now hosted in a Flyout attached to the funnel icon
instead of a hand-rolled Popup parked in the header's panel. Avalonia
positions Popup as the low-level primitive and recommends Flyout for
attached pickers: light dismiss, Escape-to-close, focus handling, and
theme-correct presenter chrome come built in (the old hard-coded white
background was also wrong in dark mode). The flyout content swallows
unhandled wheel and press/release events, since its internal popup is
still logically parented to the funnel inside the header.
A headless end-to-end regression test drives a real DataGrid with
overlay popup hosts (the X11 OverlayPopups=true configuration the app
runs with) and raw input through the funnel and every visible flyout
control, asserting the header never sorts and never receives an
unhandled press or release.

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.

When enabled, switch sections are ordered by their case label value
instead of by the underlying branch's IL offset. Default is false to
keep existing output unchanged. Useful when diffing decompiler output
across rebuilds of obfuscated assemblies, where IL block layout is
unstable but the case-to-value mapping is not.
Includes an ILPretty test that exercises a hand-written switch whose
table targets are placed at non-monotonic IL offsets (simulating
obfuscator block shuffling) and verifies the cases come out in
label-value order with the setting enabled. Also adds the
Resources.resx / Resources.Designer.cs entry so the WPF settings UI
shows a proper label instead of the raw key.

* Fix anonymous-type lambda early-return emitting unresolvable cast
When a lambda's inferred return type contains an anonymous type and one
branch returns null, the decompiler emitted an explicit cast such as
`return (IEnumerable<<>f__AnonymousType0<int>>)null;`, which is invalid C#.
Skip the cast in IsPossibleLossOfTypeInformation for null literals whenever
the expected type contains an anonymous type:
null is implicitly convertible to any reference type, so no cast is needed,
and the anonymous type has no nameable form to cast to anyway.
Fixes#3751
ECMA-335 names the zero state of most mutually exclusive sub-ranges
(NotPublic, AutoLayout, Class, AnsiClass, PrivateScope, ReuseSlot, ...)
and the reflection enums declare those members, but the schema inferer
skipped zero-valued fields and synthesised a generic '(none)' entry
instead. Zero fits every mask, so the member is attributed to a group
by declaration order: ECMA-335 and the reflection enums declare each
mask directly followed by its members. Filter persistence stores
numeric values, so saved filters are unaffected by the label change.

The blob was tracked 100644, so every fresh checkout (and any branch

Two Options tests selected the whole System.Linq.Enumerable type and then
awaited WaitForDecompiledTextAsync. That decompile takes >15 s in headless and
overran the 60 s wait on a loaded CI runner, so the suite flaked intermittently
(green in one run of a commit, red in another). The behaviours under test --
that a re-decompile setting refreshes the active tab, and that the refresh does
not steal focus from the Options tab -- fire on whatever the tab shows, so a
single small method exercises them just as well and decompiles near-instantly.

Selecting a C# version, switching to a version-less language (IL), then back to
C# left the toolbar's version ComboBox blank even though LanguageService had
restored CurrentVersion. The MVVM-toolkit setter runs OnCurrentLanguageChanged
(which assigns CurrentVersion, pushing it onto the bound SelectedItem) before it
raises PropertyChanged for CurrentLanguage (which repopulates ItemsSource from
the new language's versions). So SelectedItem is set against the previous
language's still-stale, empty list, rejected, and never re-pulled once
ItemsSource updates.
Re-assert the version combo's SelectedItem from the bound CurrentVersion after
each ItemsSource swap settles, keeping the model untouched.

CaretHighlightAdornerTests waited on the wall clock (3s budget) for the

timing dependency. Registration is still exercised through the real
OnReferenceClicked path, and production behaviour is unchanged.

These three project settings were present in the WPF build but lost in the
move to Avalonia. RollForward=major matters most: the default publish is
framework-dependent (publish.ps1 uses --no-self-contained) and the app targets
net10.0, so without it a machine that only has a newer major runtime installed
fails to start the app. DynamicAdaptationMode (DATAS) lets server GC shrink its
heap count to the live load for a smaller idle working set, and Debug-only
CheckForOverflowUnderflow traps arithmetic wrap during development.

Generate-PDB and assembly-node decompile failures reported only the exception
Message, which is too thin to act on: the runtime-async PDB-generation crash
surfaces as a bare "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" with
no indication of where it came from. Append the whole exception (type, message,
stack trace, inner exceptions) inside a default-collapsed "Exception details"
fold so the report stays scannable while the trace is one click away.
The fold span is counted in WriteLine() calls rather than embedded newline
characters, so the trace is emitted one line per WriteLine() -- a single
Write() of the multi-line string would collapse to one counted line and be
dropped as a single-line fold.
Also fixes the PDB tab title showing a literal "{0}": the GeneratingPortablePDB
resource is a format string whose placeholder was never filled.

Debug.Assert failures were routed straight to the single-button unhandled-
exception dialog and deduplicated by call site, so the only available action
was effectively "ignore". Restore the developer dialog the WPF host offered:
Throw raises the assertion as an exception, Debug breaks into the debugger,
Ignore continues, and Ignore All suppresses that call site for the session.
Asserts fire on the background decompiler thread, so the dialog marshals to the
UI thread and blocks the caller on a nested dispatcher frame until a choice is
made, matching how the WPF version stayed responsive.
Separately, cancelling a long-running operation tab left it blank; it now shows
"Operation was cancelled." so the frozen tab explains why it stopped.

Redecompile display-setting reaction to it. F5 reload and dependency-load keep

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.
