Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
As an enterprise customer I want to support .cmd as a portable application format so I can add portable applications to my private WinGet source.
[!NOTE]
The WinGet Community Repository blocks these formats due to policy.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, and provides no proposed technical implementation. Start by tracing how WinGet validates portable application formats and how private sources differ from the Community Repository policy. Done means .cmd is accepted as a portable application format for private WinGet sources without changing the stated Community Repository restriction.
