[agent\_craft] Suggesting installation of non-existent, typo-squatted, or unverified third-party packages without warning

When generating pip install, npm install, or similar commands, prefer well-known, established packages. If suggesting a lesser-known package, explicitly warn the user to verify the package's legitimacy and check for typosquatting before execution.

Journey Context:
Coding agents frequently hallucinate package names or suggest obscure packages. Attackers exploit this via dependency confusion or typosquatting \(creating malicious packages with popular misspellings\). The fix mitigates OWASP LLM Top 10 LLM05 \(Supply Chain Vulnerabilities\) by forcing the agent to rely on canonical libraries and explicitly flagging supply chain risks.
