fix(cmake): don't pass REQUIRED to find_dependency in package config - #1

Conversation
find_dependency() forwards the REQUIRED/QUIET-ness requested by the caller of find_package(); hard-coding REQUIRED defeats that. A consumer doing find_package(NekoEvent CONFIG QUIET) got a fatal error instead of a graceful -NOTFOUND when a transitive dependency was absent. Reported by a vcpkg maintainer in microsoft/vcpkg#53099.

Summary
Upstream fix for feedback a vcpkg maintainer gave while reviewing microsoft/vcpkg#53099:
NekoEventConfig.cmake.inhard-codedREQUIRED, sofind_package(NekoEvent CONFIG QUIET)raised a fatal error when NekoSchema was absent instead of returning a graceful-NOTFOUND, which is what aQUIETcaller expects.Change
find_dependency(NekoSchema REQUIRED)→find_dependency(NekoSchema)Verification
Built and installed into a local prefix, then configured a consumer project against the installed package:
find_package(NekoEvent CONFIG QUIET)NekoEvent_FOUND=0(was: fatal error)find_package(NekoEvent CONFIG REQUIRED)find_package(NekoEvent CONFIG REQUIRED)FOUND=1,VERSION=1.0.1The pre-change config was also re-tested to confirm it really did hard-fail the
QUIETcaller.Version metadata is already consistent here —
project(NekoEvent VERSION 1.0.1)matches the packaged1.0.1, so the version mismatch the maintainer saw in the releasedv1.0.1tarball is already fixed onmain.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
