In `@functions/private/Find-AppsByNameOrDescription.ps1`:
- Around line 125-128: Preserve each category’s original collapsed state before
the automatic expansion in the filtering logic around $categoryLabel.Content.
Update the reset path to restore that saved state rather than inferring it from
the modified label, and add a regression test covering a collapsed matching
category that is filtered and then cleared.
- Line 32: Update the caller in Start-WinUtilInstallAppRendering to pass
$sync.SelectedAppCategories.ToArray() via -Categories instead of the obsolete
-Category argument, and invoke the rendering-batch filtering when either search
text or selected categories are active.

- Pass the selected categories to the lazy rendering batches, the old call used a parameter that no longer exists and threw while typing - Keep the category filter when switching tabs, the chips stayed checked while the filter itself was dropped - Put a category back to collapsed once the filter that expanded it is gone

In `@functions/public/Invoke-WPFTab.ps1`:
- Around line 35-37: Ensure the search text is cleared before lazy rendering
begins, not only when Invoke-WPFTab later calls Find-AppsByNameOrDescription.
Update the Initialize-WinUtilTabContent queued-batch rendering flow to set
$sync.SearchBar.Text to "" before batches read it, while preserving the
selected-category filtering in Invoke-WPFTab.

Type of Change
Description
The category filters on the Install tab were plain buttons. They looked the same as every other button in the tool, and nothing showed which filter was active once you clicked one.
Before:
(cannot see which one is selected, long label at start & no multiselect)
After:
Clicking a category used to type the category name into the search box, and filter by category only. Typing anything after that dropped the category filter, and you were left searching for the category name plus whatever you typed. So the two could not be used together.
They are independent now. The search box only holds what you type. An app is shown when it matches the search text and is in one of the selected categories, so either filter works on its own or both at once.
A collapsed category opens while a filter is active, since the matches would otherwise sit behind a closed header. With no filter running, collapsed categories stay how you left them.
