Description

There can be dependencies between resolvers. For instance, if resolver A needs to use an env var that is a secret resolved by B, nv needs to make sure all values resolved by B run first. Users should be able to configure which env vars a resolver uses, so nv can resolve them first if they are secret refs. In some cases, it may be possible to automatically identify env vars a resolver depends on too. nv will also need to account for the possibility of circular dependencies.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by mapping how resolvers are configured and executed, then define how resolver dependencies and secret environment references should be represented; done requires dependency-aware ordering and explicit handling of circular dependencies.
