SAVER_APPBARDISMISSAL: interpret the capture reason, not a public stop-code contract

SAVER_APPBARDISMISSAL (0x0000F00E) classifies a diagnostic capture where an application-bar dismissal transition did not complete. SAVER values are diagnostic categories; the public symbol does not provide a stable bugcheck-parameter contract that identifies one defective driver by itself.

Capture the evidence that belongs to this category

Preserve app-bar identity, dismissal request, focus/capture owner, animation/compositor state, shell events, and UI-thread wait chain. Also keep the Windows build, dump type, producer, WER/event correlation, and relevant process or package identity.

What the investigation should prove

The goal is to replay dismissal and determine whether input/focus, shell coordination, rendering, or the app thread prevents the bar from leaving. Use the dump and surrounding events to find the first concrete blocked transition or failing component; do not manufacture parameter meanings from the numeric SAVER value.
