On github-hosted windows-2022 runners this action always runs platform `wsl --update` for WSL2. The default Store path intermittently fails with Forbidden (403) (issue Vampire#72). Prefer --web-download so the update uses the public CDN, matching the workaround consumers already apply in CI.

Summary
On github-hosted windows-2022 runners this action always runs platform
wsl --updatefor WSL2 before installing a distro. That path hits the Microsoft Store and intermittently fails with Forbidden (403) (see #72).This change passes
--web-downloadso the update uses the public CDN instead of the Store path.Motivation / evidence
In patchloom CI the failure reproduced twice on main after a green stretch:
wsl.exe --update→Forbidden (403).(exit 4294967295)update: falseonly skips distro apt upgrade, not this platform updateConsumer workaround that succeeded on the same image class: run
wsl --update --web-downloadfirst; the action's subsequent Store update then reported "most recent version already installed". Encoding--web-downloadhere removes the need for every consumer to pre-step.Change
Only affects the existing win22 / X64 / github-hosted / WSL2≠1 branch.
