…ade` Real-device testing showed `winget upgrade SkyLLC.UFFS` fails with `remove_all: Access is denied` — the running daemon/broker hold the binaries open, so WinGet can't replace in-use files. And the old note's claim that UFFS "defers to WinGet for WinGet-managed installs" is inaccurate: the WinGet binaries live in a per-user `…\WinGet\Links` path UFFS treats as an ordinary unmanaged install, and `uffs --update` swaps them directly (it stops the services first, then swaps). Update both the README and the full update guide to recommend `uffs --update` for WinGet installs, with the `winget upgrade` lock caveat (and the stop-services-first workaround if someone insists on WinGet).
