refactor(resolver): overhaul plugin system and dependency handling

Core Changes:
- Completely rewrote CustomResolver reducer with dependency-ordered processing
- Enhanced plugin initialization with proper dependency injection
- Improved delta processing and property value tracking
- Added robust error handling for duplicate property IDs

Resolver Improvements:
- Updated to use new accumulator structure
- Implemented execution order processing for plugins
- Enhanced debug logging and error reporting
- Simplified TimestampResolver by removing unused initializer

Configuration Updates:
- Added TypeScript path aliases for test helpers
- Improved module resolution paths

Key Benefits:
- More robust plugin dependency management
- More efficient state updates
- Enhanced type safety
- Better error messages and debugging
- More consistent plugin initialization

This refactoring focuses on improving the robustness of the resolver,
especially around plugin lifecycle management and dependency handling.
The changes ensure better separation of concerns and more predictable
behavior when dealing with complex plugin dependencies.

+- [x] Organize tests?

+- [ ] Rename/consolidate, lossless view() and compose() --> composeView()
+- [ ] Rename Lossless to HyperView
+- [ ] Rename Lossy to View
+- [ ] Consider whether we should use collapsed deltas
+- [ ] Improve ergonomics of declaring multiple entity properties in one delta
+- [x] Use dotenv so we can more easily manage the local dev test environment

+# Test structure
+- before test, initialize node and lossless view
+- when test begins, create and ingest a series of deltas
+- instantiate a resolver, in this case using custom resolver plugins
+- call the resolver's initializer with the view
+- call the resolver's reducer with the view
+- call the resolver's resolver with the view
+- expect the resolver to return the expected result
+
+# Follow-up
+- why isn't the resolver being called automatically, by event dispatch?
+- we can prepare an array of deltas and pass it to a test helper,
+- So our entire test case should consist of the deltas, the resolver, and the expected result.

+# Test Helpers
+
+This document provides documentation for the test helper functions available in the Rhizome Node test suite.
+
+## `testResolverWithPlugins`
+
+A helper function for testing custom resolvers with plugins and a sequence of deltas.
+
+### Import
+
+```typescript
+import { testResolverWithPlugins, createTestDelta } from '@test-helpers/resolver-test-helper';
+```
+
+### Signature
+
+```typescript
+function testResolverWithPlugins<T>({
+  entityId,
+  plugins,
+  deltas,
+  expectedResult
+}: {
+  entityId: string;
+  plugins: Record<string, ResolverPlugin>;
+  deltas: Delta[];
+  expectedResult: (result: T) => void;
+}): Promise<void>;
+```
+
+### Parameters
+
+- `entityId`: The ID of the entity to test
+- `plugins`: An object mapping property names to their respective resolver plugins
+- `deltas`: An array of `Delta` objects to process
+- `expectedResult`: A callback function that receives the resolved result for assertions
+
+### Return Value
+
+A promise that resolves when the test is complete.
+
+### Example Usage
+
+```typescript
+import { testResolverWithPlugins, createTestDelta } from '@test-helpers/resolver-test-helper';
+import { ConcatenationPlugin } from '@src/views/resolvers/custom-resolvers/builtin-plugins';
+
+describe('MyCustomResolver', () => {
+  test('should process deltas correctly', async () => {
+    // Run test with plugins and deltas
+    await testResolverWithPlugins({
+      entityId: 'entity1',
+      plugins: {
+        myProperty: new ConcatenationPlugin()
+      },
+      deltas: [
+        createTestDelta('user1', 'host1')
+          .setProperty('entity1', 'myProperty', 'value1')
+          .buildV1(),
+        createTestDelta('user1', 'host1')
+          .setProperty('entity1', 'myProperty', 'value2')
+          .buildV1()
+      ],
+      expectedResult: (result) => {
+        expect(result.properties.myProperty).toBe('value1 value2');
+      }
+    });
+  });
+});
+```
+
+## `createTestDelta`
+
+A helper function for creating test deltas with a fluent API.
+
+### Example Usage
+
+```typescript
+const delta = createTestDelta('user1', 'host1')
+  .withTimestamp(1000)
+  .setProperty('entity1', 'tags', 'red', 'color1')
+  .buildV1();
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. Creates a new `Lossless` instance for the test
+2. Sets up a `CustomResolver` with the provided plugins
+3. Ingests all provided deltas into the `Lossless` instance
+4. Retrieves a view for the specified entity
+5. Processes the view through the resolver
+6. Calls the `expectedResult` callback with the resolved entity
+
+## Best Practices
+
+- Use this helper when testing custom resolvers with plugins
+- The helper handles all setup and teardown of test resources
+- Use `createTestDelta` for consistent delta creation in tests
+- The helper ensures type safety between the resolver and the expected result type
+- Each test gets a fresh `Lossless` instance automatically
