## Summary of the Pull Request
Brace yourselves, it's finally here. This PR does the dirty work of splitting the monolithic `TermControl` into three components. These components are:
* `ControlCore`: This encapsulates the `Terminal` instance, the `DxEngine` and `Renderer`, and the `Connection`. This is intended to everything that someone might need to stand up a terminal instance in a control, but without any regard for how the UX works.
* `ControlInteractivity`: This is a wrapper for the `ControlCore`, which holds the logic for things like double-click, right click copy/paste, selection, etc. This is intended to be a UI framework-independent abstraction. The methods this layer exposes can be called the same from both the WinUI TermControl and the WPF control.
* `TermControl`: This is the UWP control. It's got a Core and Interactivity inside it, which it uses for the actual logic of the terminal itself. TermControl's main responsibility is now
By splitting into smaller pieces, it will enable us to
* write unit tests for the `Core` and `Interactivity` bits, which we desparately need
* Combine `ControlCore` and `ControlInteractivity` in an out-of-proc core process in the future, to enable tab tearout.
However, we're not doing that work quite yet. There's still lots of work to be done to enable that, thought this is likely the biggest portion.
Ideally, this would just be methods moved wholesale from one file to another. Unfortunately, there are a bunch of cases where that didn't work as well as expected. Especially when trying to better enforce the boundary between the classes.
We've got a couple tests here that I've added. These are partially examples, and partially things I ran into while implementing this. A bunch of things from #7001 can go in now that we have this.
This PR is gonna be a huge pain to review - 38 files with 3,730 additions and 1,661 deletions is nothing to scoff at. It will also conflict 100% with anything that's targeting `TermControl`. I'm hoping we can review this over the course of the next week and just be done with it, and leave plenty of runway for 1.9 bugs in post.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
* I don't love the names `ControlCore` and `ControlInteractivity`. Open to other names.
* I added a `ICoreState` interface for "properties that come from the `ControlCore`, but consumers of the `TermControl` need to know". In the future, these will all need to be handled specially, because they might involve an RPC call to retrieve the info from the core (or cache it) in the window process.
* I've added more `EventArgs` to make more events proper `TypedEvent`s.
* I've changed how the TerminalApp layer requests updated TaskbarProgress state. It doesn't need to pump TermControl to raise a new event anymore.
* ~~Something that snuck into this branch in the very long history is the switch to `DCompositionCreateSurfaceHandle` for the `DxEngine`. @miniksa wrote this originally in 30b8335, I'm just finally committing it here. We'll need that in the future for the out-of-proc stuff.~~
* I reverted this in c113b65d9. We can revert _that_ commit when we want to come back to it.
* I've changed the acrylic handler a decent amount. But added tests!
* All the `ThrottledFunc` things are left in `TermControl`. Some might be able to move down into core/interactivity, but once we figure out how to use a different kind of Dispatcher (because a UI thread won't necessarily exist for those components).
* I've undoubtably messed up the merging of the locking around the appearance config stuff recently
## Validation Steps Performed
I've got a rolling list in https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/6842#issuecomment-810990460 that I'm updating as I go.
- Implements the default application behavior and handoff mechanisms
between console and terminal. The inbox portion is done already. This
adds the ability for our OpenConsole.exe to accept the incoming server
connection from the Windows OS, stand up a PTY session, start the
Windows Terminal as a listener for an incoming connection, and then
send it the incoming PTY connection for it to launch a tab.
- The tab is launched with default settings at the moment.
- You must configure the default application using the `conhost.exe`
propsheet or with the registry keys. Finishing the setting inside
Windows Terminal will be a todo after this is complete. The OS
Settings panel work to surface this setting is a dependency delivered
by another team and you will not see it here.
## Validation Steps Performed
- [x] Manual adjust of registry keys to the delegation conhost/terminal
behavior
- [x] Adjustment of the delegation options with the propsheet
- [x] Launching things from the run box manually and watching them show
in Terminal
- [x] Launching things from shortcuts and watching them show in the
Terminal
Documentation on how it works will be a TODO post completion in #9462
References #7414 - Default Terminal spec
Closes#492
I wanted to start using VScode. It wasn't easy. I wrote some tasks that allow us to build the various flavors of OpenConsole and Windows Terminal from one of the tasks. I also wrote a task that allows registration of the loose Windows Terminal package and a shortcut one to launch it.
Also it was grinding away at its own Intellisense forever because it was indexing obj, bin, packages, etc. I excluded those.
Things should be easier now for folks in general. I expect we'll make more task types in the future.
