* Make UI helpers no-op when no window exists The -Preset and -Config paths run Invoke-WinUtilAutoRun before the XAML form is created and before PresentationCore is loaded, so every call into Invoke-WPFUIThread failed with InvokeMethodOnNull and every call into Set-WinUtilTweaksProgressIndicator failed to resolve [Windows.Visibility]. The errors were non-terminating, so tweaks still applied, but each run filled the log with noise. Loading presentationframework earlier does not help: Visibility lives in PresentationCore, which only loads once a WPF object is instantiated, and the XAML-named progress controls do not exist in these paths either. Guarding the two helpers covers Invoke-WPFtweaksbutton, Invoke-WPFundoall and Invoke-WPFFeatureInstall, which the existing per-call-site $hasUI convention never reached. * Suppress stray console output from automation runs Invoke-WPFRunspace returns an IAsyncResult that no caller uses, and Set-WinUtilRegistry was the only New-PSDrive call site that did not suppress its output. A GUI click handler discards both, but the -Preset and -Config paths call the workflows directly, so an async handle dump and a PSDrive table landed in the user's log. The handle itself is kept because pester/runspace.Tests.ps1 asserts that Invoke-WPFRunspace returns a single IAsyncResult, so the suppression goes at the four call sites reachable from Invoke-WinUtilAutoRun. * Add project learning for window-free UI helpers
