Initial repository analysis for APM dependency integration - clarification needed

[Copilot]

This PR represents the initial exploration phase for Task 5: Enhanced Install Command Integration for APM Dependencies. During repository analysis, I discovered a critical mismatch between the task requirements and the current repository state that requires clarification before proceeding with implementation.

Issue Identified

The task description indicates this work should be based on the feature/apm-modules branch with existing APM CLI infrastructure from Tasks 1-4, but the current repository state shows:

• Missing Branch: No feature/apm-modules branch exists in the repository
• Missing Source Code: No APM CLI implementation found (expected at src/apm_cli/cli.py)
• Missing Documentation: Required files docs/wip/apm-package-dependencies-plan.md and docs/wip/apm-package-dependencies-tasks.md don't exist
• Separate Repository Reference: Existing documentation points to APM CLI as a separate repository at https://github.com/danielmeppiel/apm-cli

Clarification Needed

Before implementing the enhanced apm install command with APM dependency resolution, I need to understand:

1. Repository Scope: Should this work be done in the danielmeppiel/apm-cli repository instead of awesome-ai-native?
2. Foundation Requirements: Do I need to create the feature/apm-modules branch and implement the foundational components (Tasks 1-4) first?
3. Implementation vs Documentation: Is this task focused on updating documentation to reflect APM capabilities, or implementing actual CLI functionality?

Planned Implementation (Once Clarified)

The task calls for enhancing the existing apm install command to:

• Parse apm.yml for both MCP and APM dependencies
• Add --only, --update, and --dry-run flags
• Integrate APM dependency resolution before existing MCP installation
• Auto-update .gitignore to exclude apm_modules/ directory
• Maintain 100% backward compatibility

Following the project's guidelines to validate approach before making file modifications, this PR documents the analysis and seeks clarification on the correct implementation path.
