• Exclude disabled formulae and casks because brew upgrade cannot install their newer versions.
• Share filtering through their outdated? methods so brew outdated, brew update and minimum-version checks agree.
• Keep deprecated packages eligible until their disable date.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Disabled formulae and casks are no longer reported as outdated.
  • Outdated-package reports now omit disabled items, including when they are the only outdated packages.
  • Outdated checks now account for minimum-version requirements.

Formula and cask outdated checks now accept an optional minimum version and exclude disabled packages. The outdated command passes the minimum version to these checks. Tests cover package selection and update reports.

Changes: Outdated package selection

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Outdated check methods and command integration Library/Homebrew/formula.rb, Library/Homebrew/cask/cask.rb, Library/Homebrew/cmd/outdated.rb	Formula#outdated? and Cask#outdated? accept an optional minimum version and return false for disabled packages. select_outdated passes the minimum version to these methods.
Outdated selection and report tests Library/Homebrew/test/cmd/outdated_spec.rb, Library/Homebrew/test/cmd/update-report_spec.rb	Tests cover disabled formulae and casks, packages with future disable dates, and reports that contain no output when only disabled packages are outdated.
