Description
Description
When calling capgen, the host model needs to specify all input requirements, currently: list of metadata files (host, scheme), list of type definitions, list of suite definition files, ...
The following change is suggested: Instead of providing a list of scheme files and suites, provide a search path plus a list of suites. capgen should then return a list of schemes that need to be compiled to support the selected suites. An error must be generated if a scheme file cannot be found.

Research direction
Start by locating the capgen entry point and its current handling of scheme files, suite definitions, and other input requirements. Trace how the search path and selected suites could determine the schemes to compile, then identify the existing error path for missing files. Done means capgen returns the required schemes and reports an error when a scheme cannot be found.
