tegwick 4b2bda0013 Report unsatisfied dependencies on add and install 
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.

Report unsatisfied dependencies on add and install

id: CANP-WP-ADHOC-2026-09-06-T01
status: done
priority: medium

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:

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.
