Research direction

Reproduce the update sequence on Windows 10 2004+: install an MSIX bundle through App Installer, publish an updated bundle, and invoke App Installer again. Inspect the AppXDevelopment-Server event and Delivery Optimization behavior; done means the subsequent update succeeds without restarting a service or the machine.
