Report #26497

[agent\_craft] Suggesting non-existent or typosquatted packages \(hallucinated dependencies\)

Before suggesting an \`import\` or \`pip install\`, verify the package exists in a trusted registry \(e.g., PyPI, npm\) via a tool call. Never hallucinate package names.

Journey Context:
LLMs frequently hallucinate package names. Attackers watch for these hallucinations in public codebases and register the names with malicious payloads \(Supply Chain Vulnerabilities\). The agent must treat dependency resolution as a high-risk action requiring empirical verification, not just generation.
