Research direction

Review the existing actions and the linked setup-scoop search results to understand how installation and bucket-maintenance work are currently coupled. Define a separate official setup-scoop action that installs Scoop without triggering bucket-maintenance actions, then verify that GitHub Actions users can invoke it independently.

Description

enhancement

There is currently no way to do a Scoop install without triggering actions relevant to bucket maintenance. We may decouple existing actions and maintain an official setup-scoop action so other projects on GitHub using Scoop for CI/CD can catch up with the latest Scoop easily other than bucket maintenance.
