Research direction
Start with PACKAGE_SPEC.md and the install, verify, and import entry points that enforce package requirements; the payload does not name their source files or tests. Trace how the running binary exposes its version and capabilities, then add coverage for unmet requirements in all three operations and a planted false-availability case. Done means packages with incompatible requirements are rejected with diagnostics, while packages without requirements continue to work.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Found by #2170's step-2 audit (2026-10-29, probe (c)). A package manifest declaring "requires":{"eigenscript":">=999.0.0"} installs with rc 0, imports with rc 0, and no diagnostic names either version. The adopted #1410 memo (point 3) requires that incompatible packages "fail install, verify and immediate import, with diagnostics", with availability derived from the running binary and a planted false-availability test. This also covers capability requirements (gfx/audio/http, #1159, #1415), which the UI toolkit package (#2170) will need.
Done when
- A manifest can declare the runtime version range and the capabilities it needs (one field, its shape documented in PACKAGE_SPEC.md).
- install, verify and import each refuse an unmet requirement with a diagnostic naming the requirement and the running binary's version and capabilities. Test each of the three.
- Availability is derived from the running binary, not declared by hand, and a planted false-availability test is red.
- Packages with no requirement keep working unchanged.
