Pull request overview
This PR refactors the PowerToys Run plugin implementation to improve result ranking (especially for bare qs browse mode) and updates installer/build tooling so the Run plugin is bundled alongside the Command Palette extension in the Inno Setup EXE installer. It also adjusts the Run shortcut editor to better handle multi-launch workspaces and documents the new distribution paths.
Changes:
- Extracted scoring/ranking logic into
RunQueryScoringand updated the Run plugin query pipeline to use it. - Updated Run shortcut editing/saving to apply edits to the primary launch while preserving additional launches and companion/link metadata (with new unit tests).
- Bundled the Run plugin into the EXE installer and hardened build/deploy scripts + docs to reflect the combined distribution.
