Research direction
Start by tracing how AppID-arguments.txt is read and how the updater decides whether an app needs an update. Verify the existing winget update path, then make the requested version trigger a downgrade even when the installed app is already at the repository's latest version; done when this behavior is covered by the relevant available checks.
