Propagate --global to collection package installs

[khaliqgant]

User description

Summary

• handleCollectionInstall didn't accept a global option, so prpm install <collection> --global installed each child package into the project instead of globally.
• It now accepts global and passes it to every child handleInstall. Both collection hand-offs in install.ts (the collections/ prefix and the auto-detected collection path) pass it through.
• The auto-detected collection path was also dropping eager; it now passes that too.

Tests

• Added two tests to collections.test.ts: every child gets global: true when the flag is set, and no child gets global when it isn't.
• The new test fails without the fix. With it, all 36 tests in the suite pass and tsc --noEmit is clean.

CodeAnt-AI Description

Honor global and eager options when installing collections

What Changed

• --global now installs every package in a collection to user-level locations instead of project-local paths.
• Automatically detected collection installs now apply the requested eager-loading option to every package.

Impact

✅ Collection packages install globally when requested
✅ Eager loading applies to auto-detected collections

CodeAnt Nitpicks

1 code suggestion

1. When a global child install fails, the surrounding catch treats the error as a collection lookup miss and falls through to getPackage, masking the actual installation failure.

CodeAnt PR Risk: Low Risk

• The PR appears safe to merge; it forwards the global-install option through collection installs.
• Tests cover propagation when --global is set and omission when it is not.
