## Summary of the Pull Request
Fixes#4247. Improves consistency in -pos tag parsing by supporting
single-value input for both axes.
## References and Relevant Issues
#4247
## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
The change aligns -pos behavior with padding-style logic. Existing
comma-separated behavior remains unchanged.
- A single value like "number" now sets both x and y positions to that
value — similar to how padding behaves.
- A value like "number," (with a trailing comma) continues to set only
x, leaving y unchanged.
## Validation Steps Performed
- Ran all unit and integration tests
- Added unit test to verify single-value and comma-separated inputs
## PR Checklist
- [x] Closes#4247
- [x] Tests added/passed
- [x] Documentation updated

The idea with IControlSettings (and friends) was always that a consumer
of the terminal control could implement it in whatever way they pleased.
Windows Terminal (the application) was intended to be only one
consumer. It has a whole JSON settings model. Nobody wants to think
about JSON at the Terminal Control level. We could have an "adapter" in
TerminalApp, which spoke Terminal JSON Settings on one side and Terminal
Control on the other side.
That worked until we added the settings editor. The settings editor
needed to display a control, and that control's settings needed to be
based on the JSON settings. Oops. We took the expedient route of moving
the adapter into TerminalSettingsModel itself, and poking a bunch of
holes in it so that TerminalApp and TerminalSettingsEditor could tweak
it as needed.
Later, we doubled down on the control settings interface by having every
Terminal Control _make its own ControlSettings_ when we were going to do
the multi-process model. This reduced the number of IPC round trips for
every settings query to 0. Later we built color scheme previewing on top
of that--adding structs to carry color schemes and stuff which was
already in the Appearance config. Sheesh. Layers and layers and layers.
This pull request moves it back into its own library and strips it from
the surface of TerminalSettingsModel. It also deletes `ControlSettings`
and `struct CoreScheme`. That library is called
`TerminalSettingsAppAdapterLib`, and it contains a hidden WinRT
_implements_ type rather than a full-fledged activatable `runtimeclass`.
It also implements one-level inheritance on its own rather than using
IInheritable.
It adheres to the following principles:
- The control will never modify its settings in a way that is visible to
the control's consumer; therefore, none of the properties have setters
- The settings should never contain things of interest only to the
Application that the Application uses to communicate data _back to
itself_ (see `ProfileName`, removed in 68b723c and `KeyBindings`,
removed in fa09141). This generalizes to "we should never store stuff
in an unrelated object passed between layers solely for the purpose of
getting it back".
I made a few changes to the settings interface, including introducing a
new `ICoreScheme` interface that _only_ contains color scheme info. This
is designed to support the Preview/Set color scheme actions, which no
longer work by _app backing up the scheme and restoring it later._ All
of that machinery lives inside TermControl/ControlCore now.
`ICoreScheme` no longer supports `GetColorAtIndex`; you must read all 16
colors at the same time. I am not sorry. Every consumer did that
already, so now we have 15 fewer COM calls for every color scheme.
The new TerminalSettings is mostly consumed via
`com_ptr<TerminalSettings>`, so a bunch of `.` (projected) accesses had
to turn into `->` (com_ptr dereferencing) accesses.
I also realized, in the course of this work, that the old
TerminalSettings contained a partial hand-written reimplementation of
_every setting_ in `ControlProperties`. Every contributor had to add
every new setting to both places--why? I can't figure it out. I'm using
ControlProperties comprehensively now. I propagated any setting whose
default value was different from that in ControlProperties back to
ControlProperties.
This is part X in a series of pull requests that will remove all mention
of Microsoft.Terminal.Control and Microsoft.Terminal.Core from the
settings model. Once that is done, the settings model can consume _only_
the base WinRT types and build very early and test more easily.
Previewing is fun. I introduced a new place to stash an entire color
table on ControlCore, which we use to save the "active" colors while we
temporarily overwrite them. SetColorScheme is _also_ fun. We now have a
slot for overriding only the focused color scheme on ControlCore. It's
fine. It's clearer than "back up the focused appearance, overwrite the
focused appearance, create a child of the user's settings and apply the
color scheme to it, etc.".
There is a bug/design choice in color scheme overriding, which may or
may not matter: overlaying a color scheme on a terminal with an
unfocused appearance which _does not_ have its own color scheme will
result in the previously-deleted overridden focused color scheme peeking
through when the terminal is not focused.
I also got rid of our only in-product use of
`Terminal::CreateFromSettings` which required us to set `InitialRows`
and `InitialCols` on the incoming settings object (see core tenet 2).

For some reason, we went real hard on an architecture where the settings
object contained the key bindings handler for the terminal. To make this
work, we had to wind it through tons of layers: `TermControl`,
`ControlInteractivity`, `ControlCore` (which saved it on
`ControlSettings`), `ControlSettings`. Of course, because we have no
clear delineation of concerns at the App layer this required us to put
the bindings into the Settings Cache[^1].
Well, `TermControl` used `ControlCore` to get the Settings, to get the
Bindings, to dispatch keys.
Yes, `TermControl` stored `IKeyBindings` down three layers _only to fish
it back out and use it itself._
There is one place in the application where `TermControl`s are hooked up
to their owners. Instead of passing the key bindings dispatcher in
through nine hundred layers, we can just set it once--definitively!--
there.
[^1]: This was the last thing that made the settings cache
page-specific...
This upgrades to [check-spelling v0.0.24].
A number of GitHub APIs are being turned off shortly, so we need to
upgrade or various uncertain outcomes will occur.
There are some minor bugs that I'm aware of and which I've fixed since
this release (including a couple I discovered while preparing this PR).
There's a new accessibility forbidden pattern:
#### Should be `cannot` (or `can't`)
See https://www.grammarly.com/blog/cannot-or-can-not/
> Don't use `can not` when you mean `cannot`. The only time you're
likely to see `can not` written as separate words is when the word `can`
happens to precede some other phrase that happens to start with `not`.
> `Can't` is a contraction of `cannot`, and it's best suited for
informal writing.
> In formal writing and where contractions are frowned upon, use
`cannot`.
> It is possible to write `can not`, but you generally find it only as
part of some other construction, such as `not only . . . but also.`
- if you encounter such a case, add a pattern for that case to
patterns.txt.

This changes `NewTabArgs`, `SplitPaneArgs`, and `NewWindowArgs` to
accept a `INewContentArgs`, rather than just a `NewTerminalArgs`. This
allows a couple things:
* Users can open arbitrary types of panes with the existing `splitPane`,
`newWindow` actions, just by passing `"type": "scartchpad"` (for
example). This is a lot more flexible than re-defining different
`"openScratchpad"`, `"openTasksPane"`, etc, etc actions for every kind
of pane.
* This allows us to use the existing machinery of session restore to
also restore non-terminal panes.
The `type` property was added to `newTab`, `splitPane`, `newWindow`.
When omitted, we still just treat the json as a blob of NewTerminalArgs.
There's not actually any other kinds of `INewContentArgs` in this PR
(other than the placeholder `GenericContentArgs`). In
[`dev/migrie/fhl/md-pane`](https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/compare/dev/migrie/f/tasks-pane...dev/migrie/fhl/md-pane),
I have a type of pane that would LOVE to add some args here. So that's
forward-thinking.
There's really just two stealth types of pane for now: `settings`, and
`scratchpad`. Those I DON'T have as constants or anything in this PR.
They probably should be? Though, I suspect around the time of the tasks
& MD panes, I'll come up with whatever structure I actually want them to
take.
### future considerations here
* In the future, this should allow extensions to say "I know how to host
`foo` content", for 3p content.
* The `wt` CLI args were not yet updated to also accept `--type` yet.
There's no reason we couldn't easily do that.
* I considered adding `ICanHasCommandline` to allow arbitrary content to
generate a `wt` commandline-serializable string. Punted on that for now.

Closes#17014
This pull request removes the need for the SettingsModel tests to run in
a UAP harness and puts them into the standard CI rotation.
This required some changes to `Run-Tests.ps1` to ensure that the right
`te.exe` is selected for each test harness. It's a bit annoying, but for
things that depend on a `resources.pri`, that file must be in the same
directory as the EXE that is hosting the test. Not the DLL, mind you,
the EXE. In our case, that's `TE.ProcessHost.exe`
The bulk of the change is honestly namespace tidying.
