Research direction
Start by reviewing the issue's two affected winget-pkgs pull requests and the package schema and InstallMode definitions; no source file or test is named in the issue. Done means establishing a clear schema design that allows ElevationRequirement to vary by InstallMode and addresses the Silent versus SilentWithProgress behavior.
