Description
Brief description of your issue
I installed vim.vim (currently at v. 9.1.1039), but afterward, winget thinks I have vim.vim.nightly installed and therefore offers to "upgrade" it (to v. 9.1.1071).
Steps to reproduce
- Install vim.vim (only when the vim.vim.nightly version doesn't match, I presume).
- Do
winget list vimand/orwinget upgrade
Expected behavior
Package is shown as vim.vim and no upgrade is offered.
Actual behavior
Package is listed as vim.vim.nightly and an available upgrade is shown.

Research direction
Reproduce the mismatch with winget list vim and winget upgrade after installing vim.vim at a version different from vim.vim.nightly. Trace the package identity or matching logic responsible for selecting vim.vim.nightly; done means the installed package is listed as vim.vim and no incorrect upgrade is offered.
