Research direction

Start by reading the WinGet CLI configuration handling and the DSC v3 support for parameters and variables. Determine how winget configure currently processes configuration inputs and compare that behavior with DSC v3. Done means winget configure accepts and applies parameters and variables in an adaptable configuration, with tests covering the supported behavior.
