Advanced Paste additional customizations and PhiSilica provider by khmyznikov · Pull Request #46727 · microsoft/PowerToys

khmyznikov · 2026-04-01T23:06:32Z

This pull request introduces significant improvements to the Advanced Paste module’s packaging, signing, and installation process. The most important changes are the migration of Advanced Paste to a self-contained MSIX package (with package identity), robust CI/CD signing and installer integration, and updated documentation and build configurations to support these changes.

Advanced Paste MSIX packaging and installer integration:

Migrated Advanced Paste to a self-contained MSIX package, including its dependencies, and ensured the MSIX is built and output to WinUI3Apps/AdvancedPaste/. The WiX installer now deploys and registers the MSIX package and its dependencies, with custom actions to install and uninstall the package during setup/uninstall.
Added a new ESRP signing policy and CI pipeline steps to locate, unpack, sign, and re-pack the Advanced Paste MSIX and its contents. This ensures the MSIX and its DLLs/EXEs are properly signed before distribution.
Build and configuration updates:
Updated build templates and props to support Advanced Paste versioning and new MSIX output location. This includes adding versioning steps, updating launch configurations, and importing new build properties for Phi Silica support.
Upgraded Windows App SDK NuGet package versions for Advanced Paste and related projects.

Documentation improvements:

Expanded developer documentation to explain the new MSIX packaging, debugging, and Phi Silica (Windows AI) integration, including how the installer and runtime registration work, and how the Settings UI queries Advanced Paste for AI model availability.

These changes together enable Advanced Paste to use Windows AI APIs (Phi Silica) via native package identity, simplify deployment and signing, and improve maintainability and developer experience.

Pull request overview

This PR upgrades the Advanced Paste module to support Phi Silica (Windows AI) by moving Advanced Paste to a self-contained MSIX with package identity, wiring installer + CI/CD signing for that MSIX, and extending Settings/UI + module runtime logic for new AI provider/customization features.

Changes:

Package Advanced Paste as a self-contained MSIX and integrate deployment/registration via WiX + custom actions and runtime registration fallback.
Add Phi Silica provider support (provider selection, availability probing from Settings via named pipe, new Fix Spelling & Grammar action with coaching mode).
Update build/pipeline/signing/versioning files and developer docs to support the new packaging and provider flow.

Test-AdvancedPastePackage is defined but never invoked from Main (only Test-CommandPalettePackages / Test-ContextMenuPackages are called). This makes the new Advanced Paste verification check dead code; consider calling it alongside CmdPal in both PerUser/PerMachine paths (or removing it if intentionally unused).

src/settings-ui/Settings.UI.Library/AdvancedPasteSettings.cs

+            // Coaching shortcut for Fix Spelling and Grammar
+            var fixSpellingAction = Properties.AdditionalActions.FixSpellingAndGrammar;
+            hotkeyAccessors.Add(new HotkeyAccessor(
+                () => fixSpellingAction.CoachingShortcut,
+                value => fixSpellingAction.CoachingShortcut = value ?? new HotkeySettings(),
+                "FixSpellingAndGrammarCoaching"));
+


GetAllHotkeyAccessors() maps AdvancedPasteAdditionalAction instances to additionalActionHeaderKeys[index], but FixSpellingAndGrammar was added to AdditionalActions.GetAllActions() without adding a corresponding header key. This will shift labels (and could eventually lead to index issues); add a "FixSpellingAndGrammar" entry in additionalActionHeaderKeys in the correct position, or change this logic to avoid relying on positional indexing.

In start_process, if RegisterPackage(msix[0], dependencies) fails you log an error but still proceed to protocol activation. If registration failed (or protocol handler isn’t present yet), the protocol launch will also fail and there’s no fallback. Consider treating registration failure like the "no MSIX found" case (fall back to direct exe launch) or return an error so callers can handle it.

The debug MSIX search path is hard-coded to ...\AppPackages\PowerToys.AdvancedPaste_0.0.1.0_Debug_Test\, but the project’s AppxPackageTestDir is versioned ($(Version)_Test) and doesn’t include Debug in the folder name. If GeneratePackageLocally / CI produces an MSIX, this code likely won’t find it and will never register the package. Prefer searching under ...\WinUI3Apps\AdvancedPaste\AppPackages\ (or the configured test dir) without hard-coding version/config-specific folder names.

StartPhiSilicaStatusServer caches Phi Silica ready state once at app startup and then serves the same value for the rest of the process lifetime. If the model transitions from NotReady to Ready after download/Windows Update, Settings will continue to report stale status until Advanced Paste is restarted. Consider re-checking LanguageModel.GetReadyState() per connection (or periodically) so the Settings UI reflects the current state.

New Phi Silica UI strings are hard-coded in XAML (e.g., "Checking Phi Silica availability..." and the HyperlinkButton content). This bypasses the app’s localization pattern (x:Uid / .resw) used elsewhere on the page; move these strings to Resources.resw and reference them via x:Uid (or resource bindings).

UpdatePhiSilicaUIAsync uses multiple user-visible strings hard-coded in code-behind (titles/descriptions like "Phi Silica is not available on this device."). These should be moved to localized resources (resw) to match the rest of Settings UI and avoid shipping non-localizable English text.
