Two-Pass Reference Resolver

Details on the indexing logic that makes circular references compile cleanly without missing targets.

Technical Mechanics

  1. Instantiation: Parses rows, loads existing assets or instantiates new ScriptableObjects using ScriptableObject.CreateInstance(), saving them to disk.
  2. Indexing: Indexes all active ScriptableObjects in the target output folder using their configured unique ID key.
  3. Reference Mapping: Iterates through fields of type ScriptableObject. Reads the string key in the column, searches the index cache for the matching asset, and assigns the object reference directly.
