Research direction

Start by reproducing the command with PowerToys 0.81.0 installed and compare its version-resolution path with the versions shown by winget upgrade. Trace the CLI handling for --id and --version; done means the specified 0.81.1 upgrade succeeds when that version is reported as available.
