πŸ“ Description

Implements the in-app feedback/issue reporting system requested in #2023, inspired by Windows Dev Home's feedback feature.

✨ Features

βœ… Auto-fill system information:

  • UniGetUI version and build info
  • Windows version and architecture (x64/x86)
  • Installed package managers with versions and paths
  • .NET runtime version
  • System locale and UI language
  • Memory information

βœ… Auto-fill logs:

  • Last 200 lines of application logs
  • User can opt-out via checkbox
  • Formatted as markdown code blocks

βœ… User-friendly workflow:

  1. User opens feedback dialog (from Settings or Help menu)
  2. Selects issue type (Bug/Feature/Enhancement)
  3. Enters title and description
  4. Clicks "Generate Preview" to see formatted markdown
  5. Clicks "Submit on GitHub"
    • Issue body automatically copied to clipboard
    • GitHub issue page opens in browser with pre-filled template
    • User pastes clipboard content and submits

βœ… Privacy-focused:

  • Preview before submission
  • Optional log inclusion
  • Optional system info inclusion
  • No automatic submission without user action
  • No personal identifying information collected

* feat: Add auto-dismiss functionality to failure dialogs with configurable timeout

- Add auto-dismiss timer (default 10 seconds, configurable)
- Display countdown timer with visual feedback
- Pause timer on hover for user convenience
- Add 'Keep Open' button to cancel auto-dismiss
- Add settings toggle to enable/disable feature
- Maintain user choice persistence

Closes #2097

* feat: Add settings UI for auto-dismiss configuration and unit tests

- Add settings page for auto-dismiss configuration
- Add timeout slider (3-60 seconds)
- Add enable/disable toggle
- Create comprehensive unit tests
- Add localization strings
- Add documentation

Related to #2097

* refactor: Simplify auto-dismiss logic by removing state flags and branching

- Remove _autoDismissCancelled and _isHovered flags
- Model cancelled state as null timer
- Model hover as pause/resume timer instead of flag checks
- Combine configuration methods into single GetAutoDismissTimeout()
- Remove CloseButton_Click indirection
- Use Math.Clamp for timeout validation
- Reduce branching in timer tick handler

This simplification maintains all functionality while:
- Reducing state complexity
- Making code easier to reason about
- Eliminating redundant checks
- Following cleaner patterns

* test: Update unit tests to match simplified implementation

- Update tests to verify timer-based state management
- Remove tests for deleted state flags
- Add tests for null timer representing cancelled state
- Verify pause/resume behavior through timer state
- Ensure all tests align with refactored code

* docs: Update documentation to reflect simplified implementation

- Document timer-based state management approach
- Explain null timer = cancelled state pattern
- Clarify pause/resume instead of flag checks
- Update code examples with simplified logic
- Add notes on complexity reduction benefits

* improve: Add accessibility, error handling, and UX enhancements

- Add IDisposable implementation for proper timer cleanup
- Add null-safety for timer operations
- Add accessibility labels for screen readers
- Improve InfoBar with progress indicator visual
- Add error boundary for robust operation
- Extract magic numbers to named constants
- Add XML documentation for public API
- Improve button creation with helper method
- Add keyboard shortcut hint (Esc to close)
- Better separation of concerns

* test: Add tests for improvements and update documentation

- Add disposal pattern tests
- Add error handling tests
- Add accessibility verification tests
- Update documentation with new features
- Document IDisposable implementation
- Add performance notes
- Update changelog with improvements

* docs: Add comprehensive improvement summary and PR template

- Document all improvements made
- Create detailed PR summary
- Add before/after comparisons
- Include metrics and benefits
- Provide review checklist

* fix: Correct mock return type and default timeout test

- Fix GetRetryOptions mock to return List<MenuFlyoutItemBase> instead of List<object>
- Add missing using statement for MenuFlyoutItemBase
- Fix default timeout test to actually test unset scenario
- Remove timeout setting from TestInitialize to avoid false positives
- Add explicit Settings.Set calls only where needed

These fixes ensure tests actually verify what they claim to test.

* refactor: Simplify auto-dismiss lifecycle and throttle accessibility announcements

- Remove _disposed flag entirely, use timer nullability as single source of truth
- Consolidate InfoBar updates into single UpdateAutoDismissUi method
- Make StopAutoDismiss the only place that tears down the timer
- Simplify IDisposable to just call StopAutoDismiss
- Throttle screen reader announcements to avoid noisy per-second updates
- Announce only at 5-second intervals and during final 5 seconds
- Track last announced value to prevent redundant announcements
- Remove SetupAutoDismissUI and UpdateAutoDismissDisplay split
- Centralize all InfoBar state management

This reduces complexity while maintaining all functionality and improving accessibility.

* docs: Update documentation for simplified logic and accessibility throttling

- Document removal of _disposed flag
- Explain single UpdateAutoDismissUi method
- Document accessibility announcement throttling strategy
- Add notes on 5-second interval announcements
- Update architecture diagrams
- Add throttling benefits explanation
