Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the PowerToys Run appearance on Windows 11 25H2 build 26200.8875, checking theme settings and comparing it with Command Palette. Done means the Run bar uses entirely Mica blur in both light and dark themes without the black or white bar.
