Description

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to specify a Package.resolved to be used instead of defining packages individually in the yml file? A plausible use-case here would be to lock in a specific transitive dependency's version instead of having it potentially resolve to a later version when one is available.

Thanks!

Research direction

The issue names Package.resolved and package definitions in the YAML file but no source files or tests. Start by tracing the package-generation entry point and determine how a supplied lockfile would be selected; done means the requested lockfile constrains transitive dependency versions during generation, with the behavior covered by tests.
