Fix: allow multiple dependencies

[AlexanderLanin]

Every addition of an external dependency has reset the list. Instead reset the list once, before adding dependencies.

Pull Request Overview

This PR fixes a bug where only the last external dependency was being retained when multiple dependencies were configured. The fix moves the initialization of config.needs_external_needs = [] from inside the add_external_needs_json function (which is called in a loop) to the connect_external_needs function (before the loop starts).

• Relocated list initialization from add_external_needs_json to connect_external_needs
• Ensured that multiple external needs can be accumulated correctly instead of being overwritten
