### Scenario when this would be used?
When you want to use the activation command as the start of the query

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing how PowerToys Run and CmdPal parse the query header and plugin direct activation command. Verify the current handling of activation commands such as `C:\`, then define tests for using that command as the header without requiring a duplicated prefix; done means both entry points start the intended file search.
