* Fix Show Installed Apps missing the widest winget name winget pads each column of `winget list` to its widest value plus one space, so the row with the widest Name has a single space before its Id. The installed-app pattern required two or more, so that app was never ticked; for example vc2015_64/vc2015_32 when the VC++ v14 runtimes have the longest names. Require only one whitespace character on each side of the ID instead of two. There is still no start-of-line alternative, so an ID still cannot match at the start of a Name. Add a Pester case where the target app has the widest Name. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Only accept a one-space winget Id at the Id column Loosening the pattern to one whitespace character let an ID match a word inside another package's Name, so "Some Git.Git Tool" ticked Git. Restore the original two-space pattern unchanged, so everything main matched still matches. Also accept the ID when it starts exactly at the Id column, taken from the header line above the dashes. That still catches the row with the widest Name or Id, cannot match inside an ASCII Name, and skips rows whose Name has combining marks or emoji, which are more characters than columns. The lookbehind keeps Windows PowerShell 5.1 as fast as main.
