Address nv-tusharma's review comments

- Clarify that critical dependencies are explicitly maintained in config
- Add framework versions (TensorRT-LLM, vLLM, SGLang) to critical list
- Add comment explaining latest.csv workflow to avoid confusion
- Document that optional dependencies are already extracted from pyproject.toml

Addresses review feedback from PR #3547
