Malin FossumandChris Titus b8b81edcdb Show preset JSON key in app, tweak, and feature tooltips (#4995)
* Add Get-WinUtilEntryToolTip helper for preset-key tooltips

* Show preset JSON key in app and tweak tooltips

* Match apps search against preset key for consistency with tweaks

* Limit preset-key tooltips to preset-representable controls

Comboboxes and package-manager radio buttons cannot appear in a preset
file. Update-WinUtilSelections routes a flat list of keys by the
WPFInstall/WPFTweaks/WPFToggle/WPFFeature/WPFAppx prefixes, so a preset
can carry neither a combobox selected value nor a radio group choice;
WingetRadioButton and ChocoRadioButton do not even carry a WPF prefix.
Advertising those control names as preset keys invited users to add keys
that fall through the switch and abort the whole import.

Revert the combobox label and radio button tooltips to the plain
description, and add tests that fail if the key is reattached to a
control the preset importer cannot accept.

* fix: address preset key review feedback

* docs: clarify preset key search scope

WinUtil Docs

Built with Starlight

Documentation site for WinUtil, built with Astro and Starlight. Served at winutil.christitus.com.

Starlight looks for .md or .mdx files in the src/content/docs/ directory. Each file is exposed as a route based on its file name.

Images can be added to src/assets/ and embedded in Markdown with a relative link.

Static assets, like favicons, can be placed in the public/ directory.

🧞 Commands

All commands run in a Docker container — there's no need to install Node or npm dependencies on your host. This is deliberate, not just convenience: npm/pnpm/yarn have seen a steady stream of supply-chain attacks (malicious postinstall/preinstall scripts, credential-stealing packages), so npm install and friends never run directly on a contributor's machine here. Note the container still has read-write access to this docs/ directory (it's bind-mounted for live reload), so this only contains a compromised package to the project folder plus the container itself — it doesn't reach the rest of your host (SSH keys, other repos, cloud credentials elsewhere on disk). Don't keep real secrets in docs/ as a result.

Docker (with Compose) is required — install Docker Desktop (or Docker Engine + the docker compose plugin on Linux) and make sure the daemon is running before using any of the commands below.

All commands are run from the docs/ directory, from a terminal:

Command Action
docker compose build Builds the dev image (needed after Dockerfile or dependency changes)
docker compose up winutil-astro Starts local dev server at localhost:4321
docker compose run --rm winutil-astro npm run build Build the production site to ./dist/
docker compose run --rm --service-ports winutil-astro npm run preview -- --host 0.0.0.0 Preview the build locally, before deploying
docker compose run --rm winutil-astro npm run astro ... Run CLI commands like astro add, astro check
docker compose down Stop and remove the dev container

Source files are bind-mounted into the container, so edits on the host are picked up immediately by the dev server — no rebuild needed for normal content or code changes. After changing package.json, package-lock.json, or the Dockerfile, rebuild the image and drop the node_modules volume, since Docker only seeds a named volume from the image the first time it's created — a plain rebuild leaves the old node_modules in place:

docker compose build
docker compose down -v
docker compose up winutil-astro

The first docker compose up (or any command before an image exists) builds the image and runs npm install from scratch, which can take a few minutes. Subsequent runs reuse the cached image and start almost immediately.
