This way, we can re-use it and ensure it applies to all places it is needed. This should include shared examples or helper methods that can be re-used by consumers. As of this writing (2025-03-19), there are following preloaders in different locations: - `ee/app/finders/ee/merge_requests_finder.rb` - `ee/app/graphql/resolvers/concerns/ee/resolves_merge_requests.rb` - `ee/app/models/ee/merge_request.rb` - `ee/lib/ee/gitlab/ci/variables/preloader/merge_request.rb` - (Upcoming) `ee/lib/ee/gitlab/data_builder/pipeline.rb`
