Research direction

The failure is in the shim step of Scoop's install.ps1, which cannot find Telegram.exe because the 1.2.13 zip no longer contains that name. Open the 64gram manifest in the Extras bucket (bucket/64gram.json) and check its bin and shortcuts entries against the new archive contents; the upstream release renamed the executable to 64Gram.exe. Done means the manifest points at the executable that exists in 64Gram_1.2.13_x64.zip, and the shim is created during a local install.
