What I found:
On a winget install of GitHub.Copilot, using Copilot CLI /upgrade can leave copilot --version at 1.0.91 while winget list and HKCU Uninstall DisplayVersion remain v1.0.89 and winget still offers v1.0.91 as available.
After that /upgrade, WinGet\Links\copilot.exe reportedly has no LinkType (not a symlink) and ProductVersion 1.0.91 while the WinGet\Packages package-folder copilot.exe stays at 1.0.89.
Evidence:
https://github.com/github/copilot-cli/issues/5071
Still unknown:
Whether Copilot CLI releases after 1.0.91 detect winget-managed installs and refuse or redirect /upgrade.
Useful next check:
Whether Copilot CLI releases after 1.0.91 detect winget-managed installs and refuse or redirect /upgrade.
