Research direction

The issue only identifies the current import-error flow and the suggested pip install dimos[something] command; no files or tests are named. Start by locating the dependency-import handling and package extras configuration, then determine a sustainable missing-dependency experience. Done means the new approach replaces the current unsustainable behavior and is covered by appropriate tests.
