fix: deduplicate optional npm dependencies

[oritwoen]

optionalDependencies overrides matching entries in dependencies, but the npm adapter returned both records. Keep only the optional record so consumers do not receive conflicting dependency metadata.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The NPM registry no longer reports a package as both a runtime and optional dependency. The unit fixture adds fsevents to both declarations to validate this classification.

Changes

NPM dependency classification

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Filter overlapping dependencies src/registries/npm.ts, test/unit/registries.test.ts	fetchDependencies skips runtime dependencies that also exist in optionalDependencies. The fixture adds fsevents to both dependency lists.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0144c

The npm adapter now removes duplicate dependency entries so optional metadata takes precedence; the remaining merge-readiness risk is low because the unit fixture does not distinguish the required and optional version ranges, so a precedence regression could go unnoticed. This is a bounded test follow-up, not evidence of a production failure.

Poem

A rabbit checks the package row,
“Optional” keeps its proper glow.
No duplicate hops appear,
fsevents lands in the right ear.
Runtime lists stay neat and clear.

<sub>Auto-approved: The diff fixes a clear bug where npm optionalDependencies override dependencies but both were emitted; the focused skip logic removes duplicates and a test pins the corrected behavior.

197-197: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use conflicting requirement ranges in the fixture.

Both dependencies.fsevents and optionalDependencies.fsevents use ^2.3.0. The test proves deduplication, but it does not prove that the optional record wins. Set the runtime entry to a different range and keep the expected optional requirement at ^2.3.0.

Suggested fixture change

-          fsevents: "^2.3.0",
+          fsevents: "^1.0.0",

As per coding guidelines: Do not add module coverage gaps without corresponding unit tests.
