Code Review
This pull request aims to preserve exact version specifiers during ng add. The implementation correctly handles cases where an exact version is provided. However, it introduces a regression for specifiers like pkg@*, where an internally resolved version is incorrectly treated as a user-specified exact version, leading to the omission of the ^ prefix. I've provided a detailed comment on the issue and suggested a path for a more robust solution.
The `ng add` command would previously always add a caret (`^`) prefix to the resolved package version, even if the user explicitly requested an exact version. This change ensures that the exact version is preserved in the package identifier if requested, while maintaining the caret prefix for general requests to ensure consistent behavior with package managers.
