Research direction
Start with the Microsoft.VisualStudioCode.Insiders and Microsoft.VisualStudioCode.Insiders.CLI package entries, then run the listed winget search, show, and upgrade commands to confirm the catalog state. Review issue #406071 for the similar update path. Done means the catalog exposes the current Insiders release and offers the expected upgrade for both package IDs.

Brief description of your issue
The public WinGet catalog appears to be serving an outdated version of Visual Studio Code Insiders.
Current Visual Studio Code Insiders releases are beyond 1.139.0, however the public WinGet source only advertises version 1.127.0 for Microsoft.VisualStudioCode.Insiders and Microsoft.VisualStudioCode.Insiders.CLI.
Issue should be pretty similar to #406071.

Expected behavior
