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.
Nearly every headless UI test opened with the same four-line prologue
(resolve the shared MainWindow, show it, cast its DataContext, wait for the
assembly list), then repeated the corelib lookup, the EnsureLazyChildren +
Children.OfType<T>().Single() drill, the registry single-by-header lookups,
and the open-an-assembly-and-wait dance. The duplication made the intent of
each test hard to see and every signature tweak a suite-wide edit.
Collapse those into TestHarness (BootAsync, OpenAssemblyAsync, GetCommand,
GetEntry) and TreeNavigation extensions (FindCoreLib, GetChild<T>, Expand<T>),
then apply them across the suite. Net ~865 lines of boilerplate removed with
no change in behaviour; the full headless suite stays green.
Replace the single text-bar above the grid with one filter input per
column, baked into each DataGridColumn's header. The page model carries
a ColumnFilters collection alongside Columns; the filter predicate ANDs
every non-empty column's case-insensitive substring match. Column
instances are built fresh per page so sibling tabs don't share filter
state, and the column name moves to Tag for cell-level lookups now that
Header is a Panel.

The generic MetadataTableTreeNode<TEntry> base now overrides
CreateTab() to return a MetadataTablePageModel populated from
LoadTable() + reflected columns. Every typed CorTable / DebugTable
inherits the grid behaviour for free; the per-table text dump is gone.

Replaces the universal placeholder for Field, MethodDef, Param,
MemberRef, CustomAttribute, and Assembly with their own typed leaves.
Each carries the columns the WPF view shows (RID / Token / Offset / row
data) — the analogous tooltips and click handlers stay deferred to the
Phase-3 navigation work since Phase 1 only renders text. The remaining
25 CorTables continue to land as placeholders until the next pass.

Adds the generic MetadataTableTreeNode<TEntry> base — caches LoadTable's
result and runs it through MetadataTextWriter for the Phase 1 text dump.
Ports Module / TypeRef / TypeDef / AssemblyRef as the first concrete
leaves; the remaining 31 CorTables and 8 DebugTables continue to land
through the universal placeholder until subsequent commits replace
them. Also fixes MetadataTextWriter to convert enum values to their
underlying integer before applying digit-bearing format strings, since
Enum.ToString rejects "X8".

Adds the synthetic "Tables" folder that lazy-loads one leaf per
non-empty CLI metadata table, sitting between the PE headers and the
heaps to match WPF tree shape. The leaves are universal placeholders for
now — typed per-table viewers (35 CorTables + 8 DebugTables) replace
them in the next commit.

Adds the five PE-format leaves (DOS / COFF / Optional / DataDirectories
/ DebugDirectory) under each assembly's Metadata folder. Phase 1 renders
them as fixed-width text tables via Decompile; Phase 2 will swap to a
DataGrid tab. Introduces Entry / BitEntry / ColumnInfoAttribute and a
MetadataTextWriter helper that the heap and table nodes reuse.
