Remove the placeholder another-mod dependency from Fabric-family metadata #53

Description

@Exohayvan

Summary

Fabric 26.1, Fabric 1.21, and Quilt metadata still include the template suggests entry another-mod: *.

Evidence

  • minecraft/fabric-26.1.x/src/main/resources/fabric.mod.json contains another-mod in suggests.
  • The same placeholder appears in Fabric 1.21 and Quilt fabric.mod.json files.
  • The placeholder has no relationship to Dissolver Enhanced and is not an intended optional integration.

Impact

Published metadata can show a nonexistent or irrelevant suggested dependency in launchers and automated dependency tooling.

Reproduction / verification

  • Inspect fabric.mod.json inside each built production JAR.
  • Confirm no placeholder recommendation remains.

Proposed direction

Remove the suggests block unless a real optional integration is identified, and add metadata validation that rejects known template placeholders.

Acceptance criteria

  • Fabric and Quilt production metadata contain no another-mod placeholder.
  • Metadata tests reject template dependency names.
  • Any retained suggested dependency is documented and real.

Audit provenance

Candidate #32 from the read-only repository audit performed on 2026-07-20. This is separate from existing issues #3, #4, #25, and #27 unless explicitly linked later.
