fix: declare click, typing-extensions, websocket-client as deps - #26

Conversation
Three first-party imports were relying on transitive dependencies that
no longer resolve cleanly when installing from PyPI:
- `click` (used by cli.py and commands/files.py) was being pulled in
by older typer versions; typer 0.25.x dropped the explicit click
dependency. With a clean `pip install google-colab-cli==0.5.4`,
uv now resolves typer==0.25.1 which does NOT install click, and
`colab version` fails immediately with
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'click'
- `typing_extensions` (used in commands/automation.py and others)
was pulled in transitively by typer/pydantic; same fragility.
- `websocket` (the websocket-client package; used by runtime.py via
the kernel client) was pulled in by jupyter-kernel-client; not
guaranteed.
Verified by building a wheel and installing into a fresh venv:
- Before: `colab version` -> ModuleNotFoundError: 'click'
- After: `colab version` -> prints version string cleanly.
All 198 tests still pass; ruff clean.
Discovered while validating the live 0.5.4 install on PyPI ahead of
the first OSS Exit Gate release.

Summary
Three first-party imports were relying on transitive dependencies that no longer resolve when installing from PyPI:
click(used bycli.pyandcommands/files.py) was being pulled in by older typer versions. typer 0.25.x dropped the explicit click dependency, so a freshpip install google-colab-cli==0.5.4resolvestyper==0.25.1which does NOT install click, andcolab versionfails immediately withModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'click'.typing_extensionswas pulled in transitively by typer/pydantic.websocket(thewebsocket-clientpackage, used byruntime.py) was pulled in byjupyter-kernel-client.All three are real first-party dependencies and should be declared.
Why now
I tested the live
0.5.4install on PyPI in a clean venv as a sanity check ahead of the first OSS Exit Gate release, andcolab versioncrashed on import. This bug exists onmaintoday as well (PR #25 only changedcloudbuild.yaml).Verification
uv pip install google-colab-cli==0.5.4(PyPI):uv run pytest tests/— 198 passeduv run ruff check .— cleanFollow-ups (not in this PR)
pytest,pytest-cov,pytest-mockare listed in runtime dependencies but should be in thedevgroup — they bloat every install with test machinery users don't need. Worth a separate cleanup PR.
