Description
There are many ways to pass values from parent to descendant Widgets. Passing via constructors can be educational for newer Flutter developers, but most projects appear to include some kind of library like Provider, Riverpod or get_it to make such passing easier.
Should the template provide concrete guidance on how to pass dependencies down the Widget tree, or should the template pass dependencies via normal Class constructors?

Research direction
Read the linked examples in evaluations/list_detail_mvc/lib/main.dart, evaluations/list_detail_mvc_provider/lib/main.dart, evaluations/list_detail_mvc_vn_two_features_boilerplate_getit/lib/main.dart, and evaluations/list_detail_mvc_riverpod/lib/src/users/user_list_controller.dart. Compare the constructor, Provider, Get_it, and Riverpod approaches, then review the discussion for a settled direction. Done means the template's dependency-passing approach and guidance are explicitly decided and reflected in the relevant examples.
