Add a timeout for each developer-tool probe.
At Line 61, the native command waits without a timeout. Invoke-WPFExportEnvironmentReport calls this collector on the UI event path at Line 19. If a tool process does not exit, the Diagnostics action remains blocked until it exits.
Start each process with a finite timeout. If it expires, terminate the process and leave its version unavailable.

On stock Windows systems where the Microsoft Store Python execution alias is enabled but Python is not actually installed, Get-Command python still returns the WindowsApps stub, so setting installed = $true before validating a usable version makes the exported report say Python is installed with a null version. This makes the diagnostic report's installed-state data misleading for a common default environment; only mark the tool installed after the command produces a recognizable version, or explicitly ignore Store alias stubs.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

When Get-WindowsOptionalFeature cannot run, such as the repo's documented PowerShell 7 MSIX Class not registered DISM failure, this default leaves enabled as false, so a machine with Hyper-V, WSL, or Sandbox enabled is exported as disabled rather than unknown. Because this diagnostic is meant to report whether those features are enabled, troubleshooting data becomes misleading in that environment; use a nullable/unknown state or an error flag instead of defaulting failures to false.

WinUtil relaunches itself elevated before the UI starts, so this diagnostic button runs whichever git, java, node, python, or docker executable appears first on the user's PATH with admin rights. In environments with user-writable PATH entries, per-user installs, or WindowsApps aliases, clicking an advertised read-only export can execute arbitrary local code just to collect a version; prefer non-executing discovery or restrict version probing to trusted locations.

Document the report metadata fields.
Get-WinUtilEnvironmentReport also emits top-level schemaVersion and generatedAtUtc. Because this sentence says the report contains “only” the listed fields, add both fields to keep the documentation consistent with the exported JSON.
