### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Ash currently has 187 compilation cycles, which causes slower compilation time and most of the project to recompile for even small code changes.

This issue will be used to track the progress and for discussions on the changes.

### Describe the solution you'd like

Refactor modules to reduce compilation cycles

*Constraints*
- No impact to public apis
- No change in functionality
- Only convert from compile-time to runtime when absolutely necessary and runtime performance is not significantly impacted

### Describe alternatives you've considered

_No response_

### Additional context

Research direction

Start by measuring the current 187 compilation cycles in the Ash project and identifying which modules cause broad recompilation. Done means compilation cycles are reduced without changing public APIs or functionality, while runtime performance remains acceptable.
