Contributor guide
Research direction
Start in the Command Palette and reproduce the issue by searching for `$ cameras` on Windows 11. Compare the returned legacy Scanners and Cameras result with the expected Manage cameras Windows Settings page; done means the expected Settings result is returned instead.
