Summary

This PR enhances Devbox's npm package support by enforcing an explicit npm: prefix for npm packages, removing implicit transformation of scoped packages (e.g., @angular/cli no longer auto-transforms). It improves version parsing for npm-prefixed packages, refactors the parsing logic for better maintainability, and provides clearer error messages when npm packages are not found in Nixpkgs. Users now get actionable guidance, including a workaround to set npm's global prefix and install manually.

Partially fixes #2300

Changes Made

• Enforced explicit npm: prefix in parsePackageInput and newPackage.
• Updated error handling in initDefaultNames for user-friendly npm package not-found messages.
• Refactored code to extract helper functions and consolidate logic.
• Updated tests to reflect new behavior.

How was it tested?

• Built the local Devbox binary and tested installation of valid npm packages (e.g., npm:lodash).
• Attempted installation of non-existent npm packages (e.g., npm:@github/copilot) to verify improved error messages.
• Ran unit tests to ensure no regressions.
• Verified that bare scoped packages (e.g., @angular/cli) are no longer transformed.
