Research direction
Start by reproducing the upgrade scenario with the listed winget commands, using the KiCad.KiCad package ID and the Windows environment described. Review the package metadata and version handling for the nightly build, then verify that winget no longer offers version 7.0.0 as an upgrade for the installed 7.99 nightly.
