* Fix backward compatibility for old-style JSON config imports * Refactor sidebar UI generation and add tests for Get-WinUtilVariables * Fix appnavigation config test following UI generation refactor * Restore global sync state in variables tests * fix(impex): migrate supported legacy selections Keep modern imports strict while allowing legacy backups to skip retired entries with clear logging and user feedback. Add fixtures covering partial and all-retired imports. * test: strengthen UI and global state coverage Exercise app category rendering through Initialize-WPFUI and restore global sync without leaking test state. * fix(impex): ignore legacy metadata fields Limit legacy selection migration to supported WPF key families so unrelated string metadata does not produce false retired-setting warnings. * docs: clarify legacy config imports Distinguish strict modern flat imports from partial legacy object migration, including single-setting export shape and historical groups. --------- Co-authored-by: Chris Titus <contact@christitus.com>
