  • Resolves [ENHANCEMENT] Show/track installer url domain by default #4617 by flagging upgradable WinGet packages whose installer URL host differs between the installed and new manifest versions. An amber warning glyph appears in the Updates row before the version text; the tooltip lists the old and new host sets and explains the implication.
  • New setting DisableInstallerHostChangeWarning (default off → warning shown) exposed in Settings → Updates → Update security. Implemented across both UIs in all three view modes (List, Grid/Tile, Icons).
