refactor: decouple plugins from direct utility and component imports (#5)

* Initial plan

* Break component-emitter coupling by introducing shared-types module

Co-authored-by: saberzero1 <8161064+saberzero1@users.noreply.github.com>

* Decouple transformer from component scripts via resource registry

Co-authored-by: saberzero1 <8161064+saberzero1@users.noreply.github.com>

* Document plugin data dependencies with @plugin, @reads, @writes annotations

Co-authored-by: saberzero1 <8161064+saberzero1@users.noreply.github.com>

* Address code review feedback: improve docs and exhaustiveness checking

Co-authored-by: saberzero1 <8161064+saberzero1@users.noreply.github.com>

* Add exhaustiveness checking with unreachable assertions

Co-authored-by: saberzero1 <8161064+saberzero1@users.noreply.github.com>

* Fix getComponentJS return type and remove unnecessary null checks
