Architecture of microsoft/powertoys

Most of the code sits under src, which holds 6223 of the repository's files. src/common is shared Windows code for logging, settings files, version data and UI test automation, and the runner calls into it more than any other part. src/common/interop provides helper code for logging, named-pipe trust, update state, notifications and native API calls. src/dsc/v3/PowerToys.DSC/Program.cs is one of the program entry points, and src/dsc/PowerToys.Settings.DSC.Schema.Generator/Program.cs is a separate entry point for the Settings DSC schema generator. installer/PowerToysSetupCustomActionsVNext adds custom steps to the installer, including handling of files-in-use prompts during setup.
