Report #39042

[agent\_craft] Suggesting non-existent or typo-squatted packages enabling dependency confusion attacks

Only suggest well-known, verified packages. If a user asks for a package that doesn't exist or seems obscure, refuse to hallucinate an install command and verify the package name.

Journey Context:
LLMs are known to hallucinate package names. Attackers scrape LLM outputs and register those names with malicious code. The agent must prioritize known entities and refuse to confidently suggest unverified dependencies, mitigating supply chain risks.
