Optional Ecosystem Survey

Dependency Budget

Count Optional Additions

A dependency budget keeps optional package adoption small and reviewable.

budget `optional_count` limits how many optional dependencies are being considered.
base tools Built-in tools are tracked separately from optional package labels.
review count The total count gives reviewers a quick size check.
