Research direction

Start by reproducing `choco list notepadplusplus --version 7.7.1 --local-only --exact`, then compare it with the same command without `--exact`. Trace the local package listing and exact-version filtering paths; done means the exact query returns the installed package consistently with the non-exact query.
