Scoop Extras — not portable-safe

Decision for Team HQ #9 (2026-07-20): do not open a ScoopInstaller/Extras PR. Scoop extracts installers; the public Windows artifact is a full Setup EXE that was not validated as extract-safe.

Verdict

skipped - not portable-safe

Shipping a broken Scoop manifest hurts more than not being on Scoop. Revisit when a portable zip (or Windows-validated extract) exists.

Evidence

Check	Result
Public artifact	`AidaIDE_Setup_0.5.77.exe` (~1.39 GiB) — Setup installer, not a portable zip
HTTP probe	`200` · `application/x-msdownload` · length `1486262078`
Docs launch path	`C:\Program Files\AidaIDE\aidaide.exe` (installed layout)
Local scoop manifest	`package_manifests/scoop/aidaide.json` not present in AidaIDE-Web
Test environment	Linux cloud agent — cannot install Scoop or launch Windows AidaIDE (vault / SSH / file browser)

DoD

Test extract + shim — blocked (no Windows / no scoop manifest in this repo).
If broken or unvalidated → close with skipped - not portable-safe — done
Fork ScoopInstaller/Extras + PR — not opened (per task step 3).

Revisit when

A portable Windows build is published (stable URL + SHA-256), or
A Windows machine validates that extracting the Setup and shimming aidaide.exe fully works for vault, SSH connect, and file browser.

Until then prefer installer-run channels (WinGet / Chocolatey) over Scoop extract. Live pricing remains Free forever · Pro $19/mo · Teams Pro $70/mo.
