Description

Ported from MSFT:21315817

We shouldn't render the XAML island when we're minimized.

I don't remember any more of the context on this one. It was assigned to @DHowett-MSFT, so he might remember.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the rendering pipeline in the Terminal project, specifically the XAML island rendering. Identify where rendering is triggered and add a condition to skip it when the window is minimized. Check for existing visibility checks and test by minimizing and restoring the terminal.
