Description

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Currently, Microsoft Store Applications supports IARC content ratings, it would be nice if we could specify the content rating in manifests too.

Maybe we can extend https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/1401 and automatically filter manifests based on the content rating specified and for the ones compliant with the rating we could ask the parent for authorization of manifest for children's accounts.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

This feature could be probably added to the install or locale part. And it can also be added to YamlCreate and other affiliated tools by default on manifest creation.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the related issue microsoft/winget-cli#1401 and how manifest install or locale sections are handled. Then inspect the YamlCreate and affiliated manifest-creation tools mentioned in the issue. Done requires an agreed IARC representation and a defined scope for manifest support, rating-based filtering, and any authorization behavior.
