Description

While Install/Uninstall/Upgrade or Tweaks/Undo runs, the tab content is now replaced with the same spinning arrow used by the Win11 Creator working page, with the live job status beneath it (e.g. Installing vlc (2/7)). The bottom progress bar keeps reporting as before.

How it works:

• New Set-WinUtilWorkingView -Area Install|Tweaks helper owns the show/hide per tab area. Adding a new area is one XAML panel plus one map entry.
• Start-WinUtilJob swaps to the working view for its jobs (Install/Uninstall -> Install, Tweaks/Undo tweaks -> Tweaks) and restores the tab in the worker finally (success, error, cancel) and on scheduling failure. Invoke-WPFInstallUpgrade (which runs outside the job wrapper) shows/hides it via try/finally.
• Step-WinUtilJob mirrors each status update into whichever working labels are visible.
• The spinner reuses the Win11 Creator pattern (Segoe MDL2 E895 glyph, 1.4s rotation tied to visibility, BitmapCache so it does not stutter). The Tweaks overlay also covers the Run/Undo action bar, so a run cannot be double-started mid-flight.

Verification: Compile.ps1 builds cleanly; new Pester coverage for area routing (all four jobs + a non-view job), worker-finish hide, status mirroring, and both tab round-trips (144 tests across the touched suites, all passing). Also exercised manually in the GUI.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Install, uninstall, and upgrade actions now show a spinner and live status while running. The application list returns when the action finishes, while the progress bar retains its final result.
  • Applying or undoing tweaks now shows a spinner and live status. The tweak list and action buttons return when the job finishes, and the progress bar retains its final result.
• Documentation
  • Updated the Applications and Tweaks guides to describe these progress indicators.

Install, Uninstall, Upgrade All Applications, Tweaks, and Undo jobs now show a working panel in the matching tab. The panel displays progress status while active, and the tab content returns when the job finishes.

Changes: Install and Tweaks working views

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Define and switch working views xaml/inputXML.xaml, functions/private/Set-WinUtilWorkingView.ps1, pester/xaml.Tests.ps1, pester/progress-state.Tests.ps1	The XAML adds working panels, spinners, labels, and named content controls. Set-WinUtilWorkingView shows or hides a panel and collapses or restores its associated content. Tests cover the control wiring and view state changes.
Connect job lifecycle to working views functions/private/Start-WinUtilJob.ps1, pester/job-layer.Tests.ps1, docs/src/content/docs/guides/application.mdx, docs/src/content/docs/guides/tweaks.mdx	Start-WinUtilJob selects and displays a working view for supported jobs, passes the selected area to the worker, and attempts to hide the view after completion or scheduling failure. Tests cover job selection, cleanup, and failure handling. The guides describe the working panels and content restoration.
Update visible progress labels functions/private/Step-WinUtilJob.ps1, pester/progress-state.Tests.ps1	Step-WinUtilJob updates the Install and Tweaks working labels when their panels are visible. Tests check that collapsed panels do not receive status updates.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in functions/private/Set-WinUtilWorkingView.ps1: Added Set-WinUtilWorkingView with UI-thread dispatch and mappings for the Install and Tweaks panels, labels, and content controls. It returns when the area is empty or unmapped, or the selected panel is absent. When Working is true, it updates the label only when a nonempty label and label control are available, collapses existing mapped content controls, and shows the panel; otherwise, it hides the panel and restores existing mapped content controls.
• observed — Modified behavior in functions/private/Step-WinUtilJob.ps1: When HasStatus is true, the function now checks the install and tweaks working panels and labels, updating each label only when both controls exist and the panel is visible.
• observed — Modified behavior in pester/progress-state.Tests.ps1: The test setup now dot-sources Set-WinUtilWorkingView.ps1.
• observed — Modified behavior in pester/progress-state.Tests.ps1: Adds tests that Step-WinUtilJob mirrors status to visible install and tweaks working labels and does not change labels when their panels are collapsed.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "feat(ui): add working view to Install and Tweaks tabs" matches the main change. The PR adds a working view (spinner and live status) that replaces the Install and Tweaks tab content while jobs run. The title is short and specific, and it names both affected tabs.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description matches the changeset. It explains the new working view, the Set-WinUtilWorkingView helper, the Start-WinUtilJob and Step-WinUtilJob changes, the spinner XAML, and the test coverage. It also lists the change type and verification steps.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files.

Fixed in 8a69c03: the app-list restore and the working-view hide now have independent guards in both the worker and scheduling-failure cleanup paths, so one dispatcher failure can no longer skip the other. Added a regression test proving a hide failure still warns and releases the job slot.
