docs: add guide for using bison as a dependency - #777
Merged
Conversation
bison isn't published to a conda/pixi channel yet, so the supported way to consume it from another Mojo project is to vendor it as a git submodule and precompile it locally against a matching Mojo/MAX pin — the same pattern bison itself uses for marrow. Documents that pattern end to end and links it from the README's documentation index. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01FmB8Dsbchms8GwMfLs8VXk

Summary
docs/using-as-a-dependency.md, documenting how to vendor bison into another Mojo project (git submodule + localmojo precompileagainst a matching Mojo/MAX pin) since bison isn't published to a conda/pixi channel yet. Mirrors the pattern bison itself already uses formarrow(scripts/build_marrow.sh).0.x-alphawith stub methods remaining, so a versioned package release didn't seem warranted yet. The doc says as much and points to opening an issue if that would unblock someone.Test plan
