+The `pre_install` PowerShell block emits a generated `$dir\wheels.cmd` wrapper.
+That wrapper is what Scoop's `bin` directive shims onto PATH as `wheels`. We use
+`pre_install` (not `post_install`) because Scoop's install order is

+`post_install` would fail the shim step with `Can't shim 'wheels.cmd': File
+doesn't exist.` and abort the install before the wrapper is ever created.
