The PackageManager (Windows.Management.Deployment) references in these conceptual topics didn't mention that the calling app must declare the appropriate restricted capability, or link to the capability declarations page. Add capability notes that distinguish install from query: - msix-server-2019.md: installing via the Package Manager API requires the `packageManagement` restricted capability - app-installer/app-installer-documentation.md: the AddPackageByAppInstaller- FileAsync / RequestAddPackageByAppInstallerFileAsync methods require the `packageManagement` restricted capability - package/package-folding.md: querying packages your app didn't author with the PackageManager class requires the `packageQuery` restricted capability Each note links to the restricted capability declarations reference and the package manifest, and clarifies that managing/querying your own app's packages doesn't require the capability. Bump ms.date on the edited files. Resolves AB#25736442 Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Resolves the doc bug asking that the PackageManager API references note the appropriate restricted capability and link to the capability declarations page (AB#25736442).
What changed
The literal API reference page (
/uwp/api/...PackageManager) lives in the winrt-api repo, but several conceptual topics here reference the PackageManager API for install/query without noting the required restricted capability. This adds notes that follow the same pattern already used innon-store-developer-updates.md, distinguishing install from query (per the reporter's own guidance on the bug):packageManagementrestricted capabilityAddPackageByAppInstallerFileAsync/RequestAddPackageByAppInstallerFileAsyncmethods require thepackageManagementrestricted capabilitypackageQueryrestricted capabilityEach note links to the restricted capability declarations reference and the package manifest, and clarifies that managing/querying your own app's packages doesn't require the capability.
