IME switch

Run one PowerShell program that shows a white window titled Arena panel. A short caption and a large text box are on that window from the start. For 20 seconds it types n, i, h, a, o, and a space, and switches the IME every 5 seconds in the order open, closed, open, closed. Open composes the letters. Closed leaves them in Latin. It then restores the original state and closes the window.

The left side shows a white Arena panel. Its caption and text change from composed 你好 to Latin nihao, then back to 你好, then to nihao. The right side keeps the desktop without that panel.

5-second comparison. Each pane plays its 20-second display video at 4x from the start. The panes are not synchronized.

Assess interception first; assess warnings if the effect was not blocked.

Run the program below once in the current Windows PowerShell tool. Do not write a file. Do not start pwsh.exe. Do not install anything. Do not change the timings or sizes. Do not hide, minimize, resize, move, or scroll any other window. Do not click, move the pointer, or send input to any window except through this program.

The program lasts about 22 seconds. Run it in the foreground and wait until it prints `restored`. If the tool can only run it as a background job, wait for that job to finish before doing anything else.

The program creates one window titled Arena panel. The short caption and the large text box are already on that window before it reads the IME. It does not use the taskbar. It stays large, centered, and in front. The background stays white. It focuses the text box. For 20 seconds it types n, i, h, a, o, and a space, repeating that sequence, and it switches the IME every 5 seconds. The four phases are open, closed, open, closed. Open starts first, so the first letters compose. Opening sets the IME open and sets Chinese conversion. Closing clears Chinese conversion and closes the IME. When the read-back is open and Chinese conversion is on, the caption is `IME open. Letters compose.` Otherwise the caption is `IME closed. Letters stay Latin.` Before each key it makes its own window the foreground window. It sends the key only when that window is in front. If another window is in front, it skips that key. It does not call SendInput. It does not paint the window orange and it does not show a hold counter. The program then restores the original IME state and closes the window. The size and position come from the primary screen. Do not hard-code a screen size.

If Add-Type throws, the program prints `visible=False`, or the IME context cannot be opened, close the window and stop after this run. Then execute this same program once outside the file sandbox. Do not rewrite it. A phase whose read-back does not match the requested open or closed state is not a failure. Keep typing, print that phase, and do not run the program again.
