Sharp was an explicit dependency but nothing in the codebase imports it.
Chroma embeddings use ONNX Runtime via @chroma-core/default-embed, not sharp.
Sharp's native binary has a persistent Bun node_modules layout bug where
@img/sharp-libvips-* isn't placed alongside @img/sharp-darwin-* causing
ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED on every install.
- Remove sharp, @img/sharp-libvips-darwin-arm64, node-gyp from deps
- Remove node-addon-api from devDeps
- Remove @img cache clearing hacks from smart-install.js and sync-marketplace.cjs
- Replace with simple `bun pm cache rm` before install as general cache hygiene
