Auto-update issue with installing miniforge with homebrew

Issue

Install miniforge with homebrew brew install miniforge. However, the miniforge is in Casks. I can't use the pin command which can only be used for formula to disable its auto-update. When I try for daily-update, miniforge will update and upgrade, which causes previous environments and packages missing.

brew update && brew upgrade

So how can I disable its auto-update? Or rather move it from cask to formula.

Installed packages

I think this question is better suited in the homebrew tracker as it asks for homebrew-specific commands.
