Research direction
Examine the `gleam add` command implementation, likely in `src/commands/add.rs` or similar. Look for how packages are resolved and fetched from the registry. Add a check for the package's retirement status (e.g., from the Hex API) and print a warning. The relevant structs and functions may be in the package registry client or build files. Review any existing tests for `gleam add` to understand patterns.
