Research direction
Start by reproducing winget upgrade --all --include-unknown and compare its source-refresh behavior with winget source update. Trace the upgrade path that updates the winget source and verify that available updates are detected after the refresh succeeds; the issue provides no file or test location, so project-wide search is required.
