rbalsleyMSFT 15ca246abd Updates documentation screenshots and UI descriptions
Refreshes numerous screenshot image references across the documentation to reflect the latest UI changes. Updates text descriptions in several documents (Build, Prerequisites, Quickstart, Windows Settings) to align with recent features, such as the new Windows Media Source options, explicitly mentioning PowerShell 7.6+ requirements, and clarifying the Device Naming and Copy Unattend.xml behavior.

rbalsleyMSFT 38323e6be1 Add support for SerialComputerNames CSV mapping
Introduces a new `SerialComputerNames` device naming mode that allows automated device naming during deployment based on the BIOS serial number. The mapping is provided via a CSV file with `SerialNumber` and `ComputerName` columns.

This feature requires `CopyUnattend` and writes a `SerialComputerNames.csv` file to the USB deployment media, replacing the need for manual prompts or prefix selection when device serial numbers are known in advance. The UI has been updated to support creating, loading, and saving the CSV mapping content.

rbalsleyMSFT 82bac17b38 Adds Prompt option to device naming mode
Introduces an explicit "Prompt" option for device naming to allow technicians to enter the device name during deployment. This replaces the implicit legacy behavior, providing clear UI controls and validation to ensure that Unattend.xml is copied, which is required for prompt-based naming. Relevant documentation is updated to reflect this new workflow capability.

rbalsleyMSFT 1ea1ef6fd0 Improves FFU deployment menu selections and device naming
Refactors the `ApplyFFU.ps1` script to use a new `Read-MenuSelection` function for standardized user prompts, improving input validation and allowing users to skip optional prompts (like prefix selection, AP JSON, and PPKG files). Updates sample unattend XML files to use `*` for the computer name, falling back to default Windows naming if not specified. Updates the documentation to reflect the new UI and script behaviors.

rbalsleyMSFT 4a2d8e63ea Add flexible device naming options to Unattend delivery
Introduces new parameters and UI controls to give users more choice over device naming when applying an Unattend.xml file.
Users can now specify a device name, use a static or template-based name with the `%serial%` variable, or continue using a list of prefixes.
The UI is updated with a new Device Naming expander to guide the user through the options and clearly indicate the requirements for each mode, ensuring that mutually exclusive options like Copy Unattend and Inject Unattend are not selected together.
Documentation is updated to reflect the new functionality.

rbalsleyMSFT 78212f06d7 Add experimental VM networking opt-in for Hyper-V builds
The Hyper-V switch selection in the UI previously did not connect the build VM to the network during provisioning. Since internet-connected Sysprep and capture flows are still experimental, this introduces an explicit "Enable VM Networking" checkbox to the Hyper-V Settings page that defaults to off.

- Adds the `-EnableVMNetworking` parameter to BuildFFUVM.ps1 to conditionally attach the Hyper-V network adapter during VM creation.
- Persists the setting through FFU config files and blocks UI execution if enabled without a valid switch.
- Refactors WPF event handlers in FFUUI.Core to fix dropdown scoping errors.
- Updates documentation and the sample configuration file to reflect the new behavior.

rbalsleyMSFT c135ad0fba Captures FFU directly from host-mounted VHDX
By optimizing and mounting the VHDX directly on the host for image capture, the build process no longer needs to boot the VM into WinPE, create SMB network shares, generate temporary local accounts, or rely on complex Hyper-V switch IP configurations. This streamlines the workflow and eliminates multiple networking and permission-related points of failure.

This change also removes the need to generate and attach WinPE capture media. All related parameters (`ShareName`, `Username`, `VMHostIPAddress`, `CreateCaptureMedia`, `CleanupCaptureISO`), UI controls, capture scripts, and documentation references have been removed or updated to reflect the simplified architecture.
