Description

The di (dependency injection) module we currently use is very outdated and the di setup we have is pretty hard to understand, especially for people new to the code base.

Currently all plugins though depend on it, so we need to find a backwards compatible solution or at least an interface that is as simple to use as the current one for plugin authors.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate alternative DI libraries compatible with Karma's plugin architecture. Consider backward compatibility for existing plugins. Prototype a simple interface that is easy to understand for new contributors. Evaluate performance and maintainability.
