Extend page module dependencies do not match actual / composer

Problem/Motivation

I wanted to check required modules and uninstall unnecessary ones. When I go to my admin/modules page and look at the information on what modules each installed module requires, the information doesn't match what composer info shows.

For example, for pathauto, the admin page shows Path, Path alias, and Token as required, but composer shows "drupal/core", "drupal/ctools" and "drupal/token" as required (and "drupal/redirect" as suggested). I understand that path and path_alias are part of core, but why does the Extend (modules) page not show ctools (Chaos Tools) as required? And the other side, Chaos Tools doesn't show Pathauto in its "Required by" line either.

Steps to reproduce

Using composer, install Pathauto module if not already present.
Go to /admin/modules
Look at "Requires" info for Pathauto module
Look at "Required by" info for Chaos Tools module
cd web-root/..
composer info drupal/pathauto
Look at "requires" section

Proposed resolution

The displayed info on the Extend / modules page should match the actual requirements as shown by composer.

Remaining tasks

Add the ctools dependency to the pathauto.info.yml file.

Nvm. Figured it out while working on something else. The problem is in the pathauto.info.yml file, which is missing the ctools dependency. I'll report this in the module's issue queue.
