Claude fceddfc43f docs: add DEPENDENCIES sections to function doc headers
Documents what each function needs for full functionality -- other
repo functions it calls, and external CLI tools it uses or falls
back gracefully without (e.g. rm/trash, ls/eza+lsd) -- matching the
existing CLASSIFICATION convention's placement and the ~20 functions
that already carried this label.

Also broadens verify-manual.py's dependency-resolution check to
recognize this repo's other existence-check idioms (command -q,
command -v, which -- not just type -q) and dng2avif's dynamic
type -q $cmd loop, since several genuine dependencies (eza, lsd,
fastfetch, fd, ps, ...) are only ever guarded that way.

#
# SYNOPSIS
# cat [args...]
#
# DESCRIPTION
# Enhanced cat replacement. Wraps bat for files, giving syntax highlighting
# and line numbers; passes directories to ls; falls back to raw cat for
# ANSI-colored log files, and finally to /usr/bin/cat if bat is not
# installed.
#
# ARGUMENTS
# args... Files or directories to display
#
# EXAMPLE
# cat README.md
# cat ~/projects/myapp
function cat --wraps='bat' --description 'Use bat for files, ls for directories, and raw cat for ANSI logs'
# Opinionated guard (C1): fall back to bare command cat when disabled.
if not __fish_config_op_enabled (status current-function)
command cat $argv
return $status
end
# If no arguments are provided, cat usually waits for stdin.
# We'll maintain that behavior by skipping the directory check if $argv is empty.
if set -q argv[1]
if test -d $argv[1]
# If it's a directory, run your custom ls function
ls $argv
return
end
# NEW: Check if the target file lives in your scrollback snapshot directory OR
# contains raw terminal ANSI color escape sequences.
if test -f $argv[1]
if string match -q "$SCROLLBACK_HISTORY_DIR/*" $argv[1]
or string match -qr -- '\e\[[0-9;]*m' (head -n 5 $argv[1] 2>/dev/null)
command cat $argv
return
end
end
end
# Fallback to bat or standard cat
if type -q bat
