docs: add comprehensive dependencies reference

[github-actions]

Overview

Adds comprehensive documentation for all external dependencies used in ADRScope, addressing a documentation gap identified during routine documentation review.

Changes

New Documentation

• docs/dependencies.md: Complete dependencies reference documentation
  • Core dependencies catalog (clap, serde, askama, pulldown-cmark, thiserror, time, glob)
  • Development dependencies (proptest, tempfile, pretty_assertions)
  • Version constraints and semantic versioning policy
  • Supply chain security information
  • Dependency graph visualization
  • Guidelines for adding new dependencies

Updates

• docs/README.md: Added dependencies reference to documentation index

  • New entry in Technical Reference section
  • Quick reference table entry for dependency checking
  • Updated last modified date to 2026-02-24

• CHANGELOG.md: Documented recent changes

  • pulldown-cmark 0.13.0 → 0.13.1 update
  • New dependencies documentation

Motivation

This documentation addresses several needs:

1. Transparency: Contributors and users can understand the tech stack at a glance
2. Security: Clear documentation of supply chain security practices
3. Maintainability: Version constraints and update policies are explicit
4. Evaluation: Users evaluating ADRScope can assess dependencies upfront

Documentation Standards

Follows Diátaxis framework as technical reference documentation:

• Information-oriented (precise descriptions)
• Structured by dependency category
• Cross-referenced with ADRs
• Includes practical examples

Testing

✅ Documentation-only change - no code modifications
✅ All markdown formatting verified
✅ Internal links validated
✅ Follows existing documentation style

Checklist

• Documentation index updated
• Changelog updated
• Last updated dates refreshed
• Cross-references to ADRs included
• Examples and commands provided

The changelog table claims an "Initial dependency reference documentation" entry on 2026-01-15, but this file is being introduced in this PR. Consider removing that row or updating it to reflect the actual introduction date/source to avoid confusing readers.

cargo tree --all-features enables all feature flags but does not include dev-dependencies. If the intent is to show dev-deps too, update this command to use cargo-tree's dev edges (e.g., --edges dev / -e dev) or otherwise adjust the wording so it matches what the command actually prints.

Suggested change

	cargo tree --depth 1 --all-features
	cargo tree --depth 1 --all-features --edges dev

This line no longer ends with a hard line break, so "Last Updated" and "Version" will render on the same line in CommonMark/GitHub Markdown. Add two trailing spaces at the end of the "Last Updated" line (as done in docs/dependencies.md) or insert a blank line so they render as separate lines.

Suggested change

	**Last Updated**: 2026-02-24
	**Last Updated**: 2026-02-24

Changelog tag naming is inconsistent: this entry uses [Deps] while earlier entries use [Dependencies]. Please standardize the bracket tag to the existing convention to keep the changelog consistent.

Suggested change

	- **[Deps]**: Update pulldown-cmark from 0.13.0 to 0.13.1 (patch release)
	- **[Dependencies]**: Update pulldown-cmark from 0.13.0 to 0.13.1 (patch release)

The markdown tables here start with ||, which creates an unintended empty first column in GitHub-flavored Markdown. Use a single leading | for the header and separator rows (and apply the same fix to the other tables in this document).
