Report #47409

[research] Recommending non-existent Python packages or libraries that sound plausible \(e.g., python-requests2\)

Cross-reference any recommended package names against a live package registry \(like PyPI\) or a curated list before presenting them to the user.

Journey Context:
LLMs frequently hallucinate package names that syntactically look valid but don't exist. This is not just a factuality issue but a security risk \(typosquatting/supply chain attacks if a malicious actor creates the hallucinated package\). Verification is mandatory.
