Scoop Version Management Rules

This rule applies to files matching the patterns above.

# Scoop Version Management Rules

## Rule
Version-sensitive tools MUST be held to prevent automatic upgrades. Use the versions bucket for specific version requirements. Always check status before updating.

## Version Pinning
```powershell
# Hold critical tools
scoop hold nodejs
scoop hold python

# Check held packages
scoop list | Select-String "Held"

# Release when ready to update
scoop unhold nodejs
scoop update nodejs
scoop hold nodejs
```

## Versions Bucket
```powershell
# Install specific versions
scoop bucket add versions
scoop install versions/python310    # Python 3.10
scoop install versions/nodejs-lts   # Node.js LTS

# Switch between versions
scoop reset python310    # Use Python 3.10
scoop reset python       # Use latest Python
```

## Safe Update Procedure
```powershell
# 1. Check what's outdated
scoop status

# 2. Update by category
scoop update git gh ripgrep    # CLI tools (safe)
# scoop update nodejs          # Runtime (test after)
# scoop update python          # Runtime (test after)

# 3. Verify
scoop status
scoop checkup
```

## Good
```powershell
scoop status                    # Review first
scoop hold nodejs               # Pin version
scoop update git gh ripgrep     # Selective update
```

## Bad
```powershell
scoop update *                  # Updates everything blindly
# Node.js major version bumps, Python breaks, chaos
```
