Add setting for logs to use CCM format

[Copilot]

📖 Description

Adds a logging.format enum setting to WinGet that controls the log file format. The setting accepts "winget" (default, existing behaviour) or "CCM" to enable CCM/CMTrace-compatible log formatting in the FileLogger.

When "CCM" is selected, log entries are written in the format recognized by CMTrace and Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager log viewers:

<![LOG[message]LOG]!><time="HH:mm:ss.fff+###" date="MM-dd-YYYY" component="channel" context="" type="N" thread="TID" file="">

Key changes:

• Added LogFileFormat enum (WinGet, CCM) to AppInstallerLogging.h
• Replaced the previous LoggingUseCMTrace bool with LoggingFormat in the Setting enum, mapped to .logging.format
• Added ToCCMLogLine() helper in FileLogger.cpp; FileLogger::Write() dispatches to it when logging.format is "CCM"
• Added .github/workflows/build-msix.yml — builds an x64 Release MSIX on pushes to copilot/** branches, PRs, and manual dispatch, uploading the package as a GitHub Actions artifact

Example settings.json:

{
    "logging": {
        "format": "CCM"
    }
}

🔍 Validation

Unit tests added under SettingLoggingFormat in AppInstallerCLITests covering:

• Default value is WinGet
• "winget" and "CCM" values parse correctly
• Case-insensitive matching ("CCM" and "ccm" both work)
• Invalid value (e.g. "cmtrace") produces a warning and falls back to default
• Wrong type produces a warning and falls back to default

Original prompt

add a setting for logs to use the CMTrace format. they shouldn't use it by default. write and run appropriate tests. check past PRs and issues to ensure you follow conventions in the codebase

Created from VS Code.

the format's name is CCM, eg ToCCMLogLine

for the setting, let's make a logging.format enum. the values can be the current format (what's its name? winget?) or "CCM". defaulting to the current format

can you upload the built files somewhere, so I can test? Ideally the full msix. maybe by uploading to a file sharing service? or writing a GitHub action that builds and uploads them as artefacts. if you choose to make an action, run it yourself to test and ensure it works

the format's name is CCM, eg ToCCMLogLine

for the setting, let's make a logging.format enum. the values can be the current format (what's its name? winget?) or "CCM". defaulting to the current format...

Done in commit 9d83250:

• Renamed the formatter to ToCCMLogLine and the enum value to LogFileFormat::CCM
• Replaced the logging.useCMTrace bool with a logging.format enum; valid values are "winget" (default, existing behaviour) and "CCM"
• Added .github/workflows/build-msix.yml — it triggers on pushes to copilot/** branches and on PRs, builds an x64 Release MSIX, and uploads it as a GitHub Actions artifact (msix-x64-Release) retained for 7 days. You can also trigger it manually from the Actions tab.
