Bug description

We need a better description of dependency management and transitive dependency management in Resolver 2.x. This probably needs a completely new document. I don't think any existing docs here fully address this.

    I’d like to help with this issue by improving the documentation around dependency management and transitive dependency management in Resolver 2.x.

    As a first step, I can prepare a focused documentation section covering:

    • How dependency management differs from dependency collection/resolution
    • How managed dependencies affect transitive dependencies
    • How dependency mediation works
    • A small example showing the resolved dependency tree
    • Links to the relevant Resolver APIs and configuration

    I’ll keep the initial contribution focused and avoid duplicating existing documentation.

    Hi, I'd also like to contribute to this issue. Is there a specific section that still needs work? I'd be happy to help. Thank you!
