Description

### Short summary

Since GitHub is a subsidiary of Microsoft, the latest version of the Copilot App must be published to the Microsoft Store simultaneously with the desktop version.

### Affected version or release

v1.1.6

### Installation context

Switch from WinGet to Microsoft Store

### What happened?

Copilot App doesn't launch and the following error message box appears:

\[Window Title]
Update required

\[Content]
Your data was created by a newer version of this app than the one you have installed (version 1.1.6).

Please update to the latest version to continue. Your data has not been modified.

For more details, see: ($USERPROFILE)\\.copilot\\logs\\github-app.13724.log

\[Open logs folder] \[Close]

### Steps to reproduce

1. Install Copilot App via WinGet
2. Use it to save user data
3. Uninstall it
4. Re-install it via Microsoft Store
5. Launch it

### Expected behavior

Research direction

Reproduce the migration by installing the app through WinGet, saving user data, uninstalling it, and reinstalling it from the Microsoft Store. Compare the Store version with the WinGet version and verify that the Store release is current enough for the app to launch and preserve the migrated data.
