Research direction
Start by locating the command-line code that emits "Downloading and parsing:" and trace the installer download and parsing entry points. No file or test is identified in the issue, so first determine where progress information is available and how similar winget progress is represented. Done means the CLI shows a useful progress bar while the installer is downloaded and parsed.
