Description
This is great software.
I sysupgraded 21.02.1 to 21.02.5 successfully.
However, openwrt 22.03.2 is available but the "search for firmware upgrade" doesn't see it.
https://sysupgrade.openwrt.org/ knows about 22.03.2.
Is there a way to force it to upgrade to the very latest? Does it not want to upgrade to a new major version?
Thanks.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the firmware search from OpenWrt 21.02.5 and compare its results with sysupgrade.openwrt.org, which lists 22.03.2. Trace the search-for-firmware-upgrade flow to determine how major-version upgrades are handled. Done means the supported behavior is clear and the latest applicable firmware is found or the limitation is documented.
