Preset-pack install rides the shared resolver; apply adds the dependency, validates presets.json, and optionally appends the chosen preset to site.theme.presets — no scaffold-copy, no site creation, no theme-field change
refrakt theme presets list lists presets resolvable from installed packs + the active theme, filterable by --scope and by compatibility with the active theme (universal always shown; palette flagged outside its tunedFor)
Multi-site --site is honoured for the optional append

Approach

Add the preset-pack branch to the kind-keyed apply work item and a theme presets list subcommand. Capability discovery is independent of kind — a theme package may also be a preset pack.

Dependencies

WORK-456 — pack format
WORK-445 — shared resolver
WORK-446 — multi-site --site

What was done

theme presets list — discovers installed packs + the active theme's pack, filterable by --scope, flagging palette presets not tunedFor the active theme (advisory ⚠, never blocking).
theme presets validate — pack-manifest validation (WORK-459).
theme presets install <source> [--use <id>] [--site] [--registry] — the lightest apply: resolve via the shared resolver, install via the package manager, validate presets.json + refrakt compat, and optionally append <pkg>/<id> to the target site's theme.presets (multi-site --site honoured). No scaffold-copy, no site creation, no theme-field change.
