Pull request overview
This PR improves the First Run Experience (FRE) bootstrap path for installing GitHub Copilot (and Node.js when needed) by pre-warming WinGet’s source cache and switching package installation from invoking winget.exe to the WinGet COM/WinRT API for more reliable diagnostics in packaged-app context.
Changes:
- Add a single-flight, per-process “winget source update” pre-warm kicked off during FRE initialization and awaited before installs.
- Replace
winget install ...process execution withMicrosoft.Management.Deployment.PackageManager-based installs (with structured status/error logging and timeouts).
