Research direction
Start by tracing how Paket reads the references file and dependencies file, then identify where package consistency is checked before target compilation. Determine the expected warning behavior for a package present only in references, including how framework restrictions and affected targets should be reported. Done means the behavior is covered for the described mismatch and does not silently allow unexpected target results.
