Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash using the documented SetTitleBar example on Windows 10 with Windows App SDK 1.6.1, then trace the minimized-window close path and the ExtendsContentIntoTitleBar behavior. Done means closing the minimized app from the taskbar no longer crashes.
