…thout schematics Previously, `ng add` would install a package and then fail if the package did not support schematics. This change improves the user experience by checking for `ng add` support after installation. The package is still installed, but the command now provides a clear, user-friendly message if no `ng add` actions are available, preventing an unnecessary error. If the package's manifest contains a homepage URL, it is included in the message to provide the user with a helpful next step. The dry run messaging is also updated to reflect this new behavior.
