Asset references

Authored YAML uses alias.asset.

zinc:
  packages:
    browser: browser@0.6.1

uses:
  search:
    shape: browser.search-web

The field determines the required capability. shape resolves an asset that does circuitry.shape. Model adapter resolves an asset that does zinc.adapter.

Soft dependencies

soft_dependencies:
  browser: browser-tools@0.1.0

Zinc reports soft dependencies during package inspect and install. It never installs them automatically.
