Getting Started: `cp bin/complyctl-provider-openscap` copies a file `make build` never creates

[trevor-vaughan]

Summary

Right after "Build from source", the guide runs
cp bin/complyctl-provider-openscap ~/.complytime/providers/. That binary is not produced
by the documented make build — it is built from a separate repository
(complytime/complytime-providers) that the page never mentions. A user following the page
literally cannot install a provider, which blocks scanning entirely.

Affected

• Page: content/docs/getting-started/_index.md (lines 76–78)

Documented steps

# _index.md:76-78
mkdir -p ~/.complytime/providers
cp bin/complyctl-provider-openscap ~/.complytime/providers/

Steps to reproduce

1. Clone complytime/complyctl and run make build as the page instructs.
2. Run cp bin/complyctl-provider-openscap ~/.complytime/providers/.

Expected

The provider binary exists in bin/ after the documented build, and the copy succeeds.

Actual

$ cp bin/complyctl-provider-openscap ~/.complytime/providers/
cp: cannot stat 'bin/complyctl-provider-openscap': No such file or directory   (exit 1)

make build compiles ./cmd/... only (complyctl/Makefile:71), and bin/ afterwards
contains:

behavioral-report  complyctl  mock-oci-registry  test-provider

There is no complyctl-provider-openscap. That binary is built in
complytime/complytime-providers via
go build … -o bin/complyctl-provider-openscap ./cmd/openscap-provider
(complytime-providers/Makefile). The page jumps from "build complyctl" to "copy the
openscap provider" with no clone, no build, and no link to the providers repo.

The project's own in-repo complyctl/docs/QUICK_START.md gets this right — it has a
provider table linking to the complytime-providers repo.

Suggested fix

Add the missing provider build before the cp: clone and make complytime-providers,
then cp from its bin/. Alternatively, ship the openscap provider as a documented
release asset and copy from there. Either way, stop implying that the complyctl build emits
the provider binary.
