Add manifest update-assets command to generate MSIX image assets from source image

[Copilot]

Add command for updating image assets in appxmanifest

Summary

This PR implements the feature requested in the issue to add a command for easily updating image assets in an AppxManifest.xml file. The command takes a single source image and generates all required MSIX asset sizes and aspect ratios automatically.

Plan

• Explore repository structure and understand existing manifest commands
• Identify image asset requirements for MSIX packages
• Add SkiaSharp package for image processing (cross-platform, NativeAOT compatible)
• Create ManifestUpdateAssetsCommand class following existing command pattern
• Implement image resizing service to generate required asset sizes
• Add command to ManifestCommand as a subcommand
• Register new command in dependency injection configuration
• Create comprehensive tests for the new command
• Build and test the implementation (all tests pass!)
• Run code review and address feedback
• Run security scan (no vulnerabilities found)
• Remove unnecessary Linux-specific package references
• Make manifest path optional with inference from current directory
• Move business logic to ManifestService following repository patterns
• Remove stack trace logging from error handler
• Update SkiaSharp to latest stable version
• Add comprehensive documentation
• Fix CA1822 analyzer warnings
• Final verification complete ✅

Implementation Details

The new winapp manifest update-assets command:

• Takes a source image path as required argument
• Optionally accepts manifest path via --manifest option (infers from current directory if not provided)
• Generates 12 different image assets required for MSIX packages
• Assets are created in the Assets folder relative to the manifest
• Supports any image format that SkiaSharp can decode (PNG, JPG, GIF, etc.)
• Scales images proportionally while maintaining aspect ratio
• Centers images in the target dimensions with transparent background
• Warns if manifest doesn't reference the Assets directory
• Follows repository architecture pattern with business logic in ManifestService
• Uses latest stable SkiaSharp version (3.119.1)
• Fully documented in docs/usage.md

Architecture

The command follows the same pattern as other commands in the repository:

• Command Handler: Thin layer that extracts arguments and calls the service
• ManifestService: Contains all business logic for updating manifest assets
• ImageAssetService: Handles low-level image processing and generation

Assets Generated

All required MSIX assets (12 total):

• Square44x44Logo.png (44x44), scale-200 (88x88), targetsize-24 (24x24)
• Square150x150Logo.png (150x150), scale-200 (300x300)
• Wide310x150Logo.png (310x150), scale-200 (620x300)
• SplashScreen.png (620x300), scale-200 (1240x600)
• StoreLogo.png (50x50)
• LockScreenLogo.png (24x24), scale-200 (48x48)

Documentation

Complete documentation has been added to docs/usage.md including:

• Command syntax and usage
• All available options
• Description of generated assets
• Multiple usage examples

Testing Results

✅ All 9 new tests pass successfully (including manifest inference test)
✅ Command works correctly on Windows (target platform)
✅ Manifest path is properly inferred from current directory when not specified
✅ Verbose mode shows detailed progress
✅ Help text is clear and accurate
✅ Assets are generated with correct dimensions
✅ No security vulnerabilities (CodeQL clean)
✅ Architecture follows repository patterns
✅ Documentation is complete and comprehensive
✅ No build warnings or analyzer errors

Security Summary

No vulnerabilities were discovered or introduced. The SkiaSharp package (v3.119.1) was checked against the GitHub advisory database and is clean. CodeQL analysis found no security issues in the new code.

Example Usage

# Generate all assets from a single image (manifest inferred from current directory)
winapp manifest update-assets mylogo.png

# Explicitly specify the manifest
winapp manifest update-assets mylogo.png --manifest path/to/appxmanifest.xml

# With verbose output to see progress
winapp manifest update-assets mylogo.png --verbose

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Add a command for updating image assets in appxmanifest</issue_title>
<issue_description>Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We need a command that will easily update the image assets in a manifest based on a single image. The command would take in an existing image and generate the different sizes and aspect ratios needed for best experience.

Describe the solution you'd like
winapp manifest update-assets <appxmanifest.xml path> <path-to-image>

Additional context
This will simplify the process of generating assets for appxmanifests

@copilot src/winapp-CLI/WinApp.Cli.Tests/WinApp.Cli.Tests.csproj:26 this is a windows only tool. Even the tests never execute on linux.

Removed in commit 3bbd6a2. Since this is a Windows-only tool and tests run on Windows in CI, the Linux-specific package references are not needed.

@copilot src/winapp-CLI/WinApp.Cli/Commands/ManifestUpdateAssetsCommand.cs:46 We should accept nullable manifest paths, and inter, like other commands are doing it, so an optional argument

Changed in commit aa3396e. The manifest path is now an optional --manifest option that defaults to searching the current directory when not provided, following the same pattern as create-debug-identity command.

@copilot Most of the logic in the new command should be in a service, like other commands.

@copilot Most of the logic in the new command should be in a service, like other commands.

Refactored in commit cf97a8c. The business logic has been moved to ManifestService.UpdateManifestAssetsAsync(), and the command handler is now a thin layer that just extracts arguments and calls the service, following the same pattern as ManifestGenerateCommand.

Updated to 3.119.1 (latest stable version) in commit 0beaa25.

@copilot Is there documentation, probably markdown, that needs updating?

Yes, added comprehensive documentation to docs/usage.md in commit 0a08438. The documentation includes command syntax, options, descriptions of all 12 generated assets, and usage examples.

Fixed in commit 9522bb2. Both CreateTestManifest and CreateTestImage methods are now marked as static to resolve the CA1822 analyzer warnings.
