Research direction

Reproduce the issue by connecting over SSH and running winget install app or winget upgrade; begin with the winget source update path and the diagnostic logs under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\DiagOutputDir. Confirm the fix by ensuring these commands no longer print the source-update failure over SSH while installation and upgrade still work.
