Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

The PowerShell module doesn't appear to support the explicit agreements flow at the moment on the CLI.

winget install Microsoft.PowerAutomateDesktopwould require me to accept package agreements, but I could get around those by using:
Install-WinGetPackage -Id Microsoft.PowerAutomateDesktop

Research direction

Start by comparing the winget install Microsoft.PowerAutomateDesktop flow with Install-WinGetPackage -Id Microsoft.PowerAutomateDesktop, focusing on how each handles package agreements. Trace the PowerShell module's install entry point and the corresponding CLI behavior; done means the PowerShell install flow supports explicit agreement handling consistently with the CLI.
