Require tagged dependencies in composer.json #521
Description
When a project is installing Moosh with Composer, and its minimum-stability is stable, Composer throws errors and will not install Moosh:
$ composer --version
Composer version 2.2.12 2022-04-13 16:42:25
$ composer require tmuras/moosh:@dev
./composer.json has been updated

- Root composer.json requires tmuras/moosh @dev -> satisfiable by tmuras/moosh[dev-master, dev-debian, dev-add-license-1, dev-0.x-debian, 0.15.2, ..., 0.x-dev, 1.2, ..., 1.27].
Potential causes:
- A typo in the package name
- The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting
see <https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#minimum-stability> for more details.
- It's a private package and you forgot to add a custom repository to find it
Read <https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md> for further common problems.
Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json and ./composer.lock to their original content.
It would be helpful if Moosh required a range of tagged versions instead of dev-main/dev-master versions of dependencies. This would help projects using Moosh, and would likely be more stable for Moosh itself -- main/master branches will change with every commit added, whereas a tag will always be the same.
