chore(deps): migrate lodash to es-toolkit

[evan-moon]

Description

Migrated from lodash-es to es-toolkit to remove lodash as a dependency, resolving performance and maintenance concerns.

Replaced all lodash methods with equivalent methods provided by es-toolkit, which is actively maintained and optimized for modern JS usage.

This change was motivated by:

• Performance improvements (es-toolkit is faster in benchmarks compared to lodash).
• Ongoing maintenance and active community support.
• The es-toolkit/compat module fully covers the existing lodash test coverage, ensuring no side effects or regressions.
• Lodash has not had a major release since v4 on January 13, 2016 (lodash releases).
• Lodash is no longer actively maintained, evidenced by unanswered user questions regarding a new version (issue #5989).
• The latest commit to the planned v5 of Lodash was 8 months ago (v5-wip branch).
• @types/lodash contains numerous any types, negatively impacting overall application type safety.
• Lodash lacks proper tree-shaking, thus requiring the separate lodash-es package.

No additional breaking changes were introduced.
