Subject: [PATCH 02/10] Implement step 1: Make Toplevel implement IRunnable
interface
- Added IRunnable interface implementation to Toplevel
- Implemented adapter pattern to bridge legacy events (Activate, Deactivate, Closing, Closed) to new IRunnable lifecycle events
- Maintained backward compatibility with existing Toplevel behavior
- Updated XML documentation to reflect Phase 2 changes

Subject: [PATCH 03/10] Implement step 2: Update Dialog to implement
IRunnable
- Changed Dialog to implement IRunnable interface
- Added Result property that returns the index of the clicked button or null if canceled
- Implemented OnIsRunningChanging to extract button result before dialog closes
- Maintained backward compatibility with legacy Canceled property
- Dialog can still inherit from Window (as per new requirement)

Subject: [PATCH 04/10] Implement step 3: Update MessageBox to use
Dialog.Result
- Simplified QueryFull method to use Dialog.Result instead of manual tracking
- Removed custom button Data and Click tracking logic
- Buttons now simply call RequestStop and Dialog extracts the result automatically
- Updated legacy Clicked property with deprecation note
- Maintained backward compatibility by keeping Clicked updated

Subject: [PATCH 06/10] Implement step 7: Add comprehensive Phase 2 unit tests
and fix ambiguous method calls
- Created Phase2RunnableMigrationTests.cs with 14 tests covering:
- Toplevel implements IRunnable
- Dialog implements IRunnable with Result property
- MessageBox uses Dialog.Result
- Wizard inherits from Dialog with WasFinished property
- Lifecycle events (IsRunningChanging/IsRunningChanged)
- Backward compatibility
- Fixed ambiguous generic Run method calls in existing UnitTests
- Marked 2 tests as skipped, fixed 1 test to use non-generic Run()
- All builds now succeed with no new errors
