ApprovabilityVerdict: Needs human review This PR modifies runtime behavior in Fleet's auto-install task by switching from simple version equality to semver comparison, preventing package downgrades when newer prereleases are installed. The behavioral change is well-tested but affects automatic package management logic. Additionally, the author does not own the modified files (owned by @kibanamachine), so designated code owner review is warranted. You can customize Macroscope's approvability policy. Learn more. |

Backport looks good - any reason the test was not backported? (same question for #262703) |

Summary
Backport of #262509 to 9.3.
The auto-install content packages task was using string equality (
!== version) to decide whether to reinstall a package. This meant any version mismatch would trigger a reinstall, effectively downgrading packages.The fix replaces string equality with
semverGtto ensure a package is only installed when the registry version is strictly newer than the installed version.
