Pull request overview

Risk Rating: MEDIUM — CLI behavior changes across multiple CRE commands; correctness depends on state file parsing and resolution fallbacks.

This PR aims to ensure local CRE CLI commands prefer values from local CRE state files (RPC URL, contract addresses/versions, DON metadata) unless the user explicitly overrides via flags.

Changes:

• Introduces a LocalCREStateResolver to load and query local CRE state (addresses, RPC, DON/gateway metadata, workflow registry output).
• Updates workflow and example commands to resolve RPC/addresses/DON IDs from local state when flags aren’t explicitly set.
• Updates billing startup to hydrate missing config from local CRE state and adds unit tests for the resolver utilities.

core/scripts/cre/environment/examples/examples.go	Resolves RPC URL from local CRE state for example contract deployment commands.
core/scripts/cre/environment/environment/workflow.go	Replaces direct state-file reads with shared resolver-based address/version/RPC/DON resolution.
core/scripts/cre/environment/environment/state_resolver.go	Adds LocalCREStateResolver implementation for loading/reading local CRE state + helper parsing.
core/scripts/cre/environment/environment/state_resolver_test.go	Adds unit tests for resolver behavior and helpers (address refs, DON metadata, docker RPC mapping).
core/scripts/cre/environment/environment/examples.go	Uses resolver to hydrate RPC, gateway URL, DON info, and workflow registry address/version for the PoR example workflow command.
core/scripts/cre/environment/environment/billing.go	Hydrates billing config from local CRE state when running without a provided SetupOutput; normalizes RPC for Docker access.
