Report unsatisfied dependencies on add and install

Browse source 
Found while verifying the repo against INTENT.md's eight success criteria for
a first practical release, after CANP-WP-0002 finished.

Criterion 5 is "publish a version to a registry and install it elsewhere".
Installing practice/pqrst-estimate into a fresh catalog reported success, and
rendering it then failed with "included package not found:
practice/house-style". CANP-WP-0002-T03 introduced this — composition made a
package installable but unrenderable, and nothing said so at install time.

The error was honest, but reaching it after a successful-looking install is
the silently-incomplete failure section 23 now names as the thing this format
avoids.

`add` and `install` now name declared prompt dependencies the target catalog
cannot satisfy, including a package present at no matching version. They do
not fetch anything: section 10 leaves dependency resolution to the consumer,
and auto-installing transitively is a resolver — a separate decision from
refusing to hand over a package that looks fine and is not.

Whether `install` should offer `--with-dependencies` is left open as a design
question rather than smuggled in as a bug fix.

Tests 81 -> 84. Recorded as CANP-WP-ADHOC-2026-09-06.

# Ad hoc fixes — 2026-09-06
Low-risk fixes found while verifying the repo against `INTENT.md`'s eight
success criteria for a first practical release, after `CANP-WP-0002` finished.

**Found by verification.** INTENT success criterion 5 is "publish a version to
a registry and install it elsewhere". Installing `practice/pqrst-estimate` into
a fresh catalog reported success, and rendering it then failed with
`included package not found: practice/house-style`. `CANP-WP-0002-T03`
introduced this: composition made a package installable but unrenderable, and
nothing said so at install time.
The error itself was honest, but reaching it *after* a successful-looking
install is the "silently incomplete" failure that § 23 now names as the thing
this format avoids.
`add` and `install` now check declared prompt dependencies against the target
catalog and name any the catalog cannot satisfy, including the case where the
package is present but no version matches the selector:
```text
declared dependencies not in this catalog: practice/house-style@>= 0.1.0
— install them, or composition referencing them will not resolve
```
They do **not** fetch anything. § 10 leaves dependency resolution to the
consumer, and auto-installing transitively is a resolver, which is a different
decision from refusing to hand over a package that looks fine and is not.
`missing_dependencies` and `report_missing_dependencies` in
`reference/canned_prompts.py`; tests 81 → 84.
**Left open deliberately:** whether `install` should offer to fetch
dependencies (`--with-dependencies`) is a real design question, not a bug fix.
It wants its own decision rather than being smuggled in here.
