Greptile SummaryThe PR adds declarative absent-state package handling and pacman removal support while updating status output, configuration mutation, command-effect metadata, documentation, and tests.
Confidence Score: 4/5The PR is not yet safe to merge because an absent virtual pacman capability can remove additional installed provider packages. Status selects one provider for a virtual package, but the removal path independently collects every installed package matching that capability and passes all of them to pacman, leaving the previously reported over-removal defect outstanding.

absent requests resolved through a pacman Provides capability retain the
concrete installed provider package name as the removal target; alternatively
reject such provider-backed absent requests before remove is called. Do not pass
the capability name to pacman -R when it differs from the physical provider
name.
