In short, the distinction between ‘native-inputs’ and ‘inputs’ exists

Propagated inputs are a way to manually say: “I want this package to
automatically pull in those other packages.” This is necessary in the

I believe I understand what they mean and how they solve the problem. My
question is more "why autodetect runtime dependencies"?
Can I ask, what do you mean by "autodetect" ?
Thanks,
