Research direction
The issue requests adding package dependency support to the WASM compiler. Examine the current WASM binding implementation in the repository, specifically files under `compiler core/src/wasm` or similar. Look for how modules are compiled and linked, and identify where package dependencies should be integrated. The existing add files/modules logic may be in `wasm module.rs`; extend it to handle dependency packages from the Gleam package manager.
