Research direction

Start by reproducing the listed winget install commands on WinGet 1.7.11261 and review the provided 0x80072F8F log sequence, especially the failure after package agreements are accepted. Trace that failure into the WinGet CLI or Windows Package Manager components; done means the affected installs complete without the reported error and regression coverage verifies the behavior.
