Subject: [PATCH] fix(@angular/cli): conditionally quote package names when
 adding dependencies based on host requirements

Complex range specifiers that include shell special characters (e.g., '>', '<') can be misinterpreted when not quoted. This change ensures that version ranges are enclosed in quotes when needed to prevent such issues.
