Summary

• Add a bump-scoop release job that renders .github/scoop/provenant.json.tmpl and commits it to the new getprovenant/scoop-bucket, mirroring bump-homebrew (stable tags only, no downgrades, push retry).
• Document scoop install in the README and the job in docs/RELEASING.md.

Issues

• Covers: Windows package-manager request from Can't install Provenant with Cargo - "missing field defined_names in initializer of DocumentIR" error in pdf_oxide #1453 (follow-up comment; not closing that issue)

Scope and exclusions

• Included: manifest template, release job, docs. The bucket repo already exists with a 1.0.14 manifest.
• Explicit exclusions: Winget and Chocolatey.

How to verify

• Before the next stable release, install the provenant-release-bot GitHub App on getprovenant/scoop-bucket with contents: write; without it the new job fails at the token step.
• On Windows: scoop bucket add provenant https://github.com/getprovenant/scoop-bucket && scoop install provenant && provenant --version.

Follow-up work

• Created or intentionally deferred: Winget manifest if there is demand.
