When a package is downloaded but one of its dependencies fails to
download (e.g., network error, SLSA verification failure), the cached
package becomes unusable because its dependencies are missing.
This causes build failures that cannot recover because:
1. Package A is in cache, so A.build() returns early
2. A.buildDependencies() is never called
3. Missing dependency B is never built
4. Build fails with PkgNotBuiltErr{B}
Fix: After the download phase, validate that all cached packages have
their required dependencies available. If a dependency is missing and
won't be built, remove the package from cache and mark it for rebuild.
The validation respects package types:
- Go/Yarn packages: check all transitive dependencies
- Generic/Docker packages: check only direct dependencies
- Ephemeral dependencies are skipped (always rebuilt)
A dependency is considered available if:
- It's in the local cache, OR
- It will be built (PackageNotBuiltYet), OR
- It will be downloaded (PackageInRemoteCache)

Reduce the expected speedup from 3x to 2.5x for 50+ packages to account for CI environment variability. The test was flaky because CI runners have variable performance characteristics. Co-authored-by: Ona <no-reply@ona.com>
Tests the scenario where package A downloads successfully but its dependency B fails to download. Verifies that: 1. A is invalidated due to missing dependency B 2. Both A and B are rebuilt locally 3. Build succeeds with all packages in local cache Uses a mock remote cache that simulates download failures for specific packages. Co-authored-by: Ona <no-reply@ona.com>

Summary
Fixes cache inconsistency when a package is downloaded but one of its dependencies fails to download (e.g., network error, SLSA verification failure).

Problem
When package A downloads successfully but its dependency B fails:
A.build()finds A in cache → returns earlyA.buildDependencies()is never calledPkgNotBuiltErr{B}and cannot recoverSolution
After the download phase, validate that all cached packages have their required dependencies available. If a dependency is missing and won't be built, remove the package from cache and mark it for rebuild.
Implementation
New function
validateDependenciesAvailable:Dependency is considered available if:

Unit tests cover:
Performance Impact
Negligible. The validation:
GetTransitiveDependencies()(already computed during download planning)Location()Affects Both SLSA and Non-SLSA Builds
The bug can occur in both modes due to network errors during download.
