## Description

TypeResolver is a PHP namespace resolver and type parser designed to convert partial class and element names into fully qualified names. It functions as a utility for static code analysis, transforming complex type expressions and primitives into structured value objects.

The project implements PSR-5 standards to ensure consistent type referencing. It manages the resolution of structural elements by tracking current namespaces and alias contexts to expand partial identifiers into their full definitions.

The tool covers the parsing of compound type strings and the management of PHP imports and aliases. It utilizes a value-object based representation to handle structural element transformations and recursive type expression parsing.
