* feat: Add Beeper to Messaging applications
This commit adds the Beeper desktop application to the list of installable packages in the "Messaging" category.
The entry has been added to `config/applications.json` with the official download URL and the correct silent installation arguments.
Fixes#3608
* Fix job failure: ensure excluded directory exists before processing
This commit updates the Invoke-Preprocessing function to prevent workflow failures caused by missing excluded directories.
Previously, the script would attempt to recursively list files in excluded paths, resulting in an error if a directory did not exist.
The updated logic checks if the excluded path refers to a directory (ends with a backslash) and creates it if necessary before proceeding. This avoids "Cannot find path" errors and ensures smoother preprocessing, especially for jobs that depend on directory existence for exclusion logic.
No changes are made for excluded files or wildcard patterns.
* [Applications] DISM utility changes, app description fixes
- NTLite has been added to the list of apps to give the user some choice
- Both DISMTools and NTLite have been moved to a new section so they can be identified more easily by what they do, and because the former is not a tool made by either Microsoft or Sysinternals. The former now has its description pulled from WinGet (and summarized using Copilot)
- Em-dashes in some app descriptions have been replaced with semicolons to avoid question marks in tooltips
* Change category from 'DISM Utilities' to 'Microsoft Tools'

🚨 Spotube is banned from using "Spotify™ API" 🚨
The developer of Spotube has received a cease and desist letter from Spotify USA Inc. and Spotify AB, asserting a legal threat concerning the distribution and development of any application that utilizes Spotify’s data API in conjunction with content from YouTube® to facilitate ad-free playback of music tracks. The letter contends that this specific use of the Spotify™ APIs contravenes the Spotify™ Agreements and may also infringe upon the rights of music rights holders.
Consequently, as the official maintainer of Spotube, I will immediately cease all forms of official distribution and development of Spotube that continue to employ the aforementioned 'Spotify™ APIs'
Their exact reasoning: (any) "uses of Spotify’s data API in connection with content from YouTube to provide ad-free playback of music tracks. The use of the Spotify APIs in this manner violates the Spotify Agreements and may also violate the rights of music rights holders."
