Research direction

Reproduce the sequence using dotnet new classlib -lang F#, paket init, and paket add Saturn -p <projname>, then trace the paket add project-update entry point. Verify whether the command invokes restore; done means the project can use Saturn immediately without a separate dotnet restore.
