Research direction

Reproduce the issue with winget list and winget upgrade --all using Microsoft.DotNet.SDK.9, starting from the reported 9.0.204 to 9.0.300 upgrade. Compare the installed and offered versions in the upgrade decision; done means winget upgrade --all no longer repeatedly offers or installs 9.0.300 after it is installed.
