Configures a pod instance with factory-specific settings.

This method applies configuration such as property values, lifecycle callbacks, and other factory-specific settings to a pod instance.

    final rawPod = MyConfiguredPod();
    final configuredPod = factory.configurePod(rawPod, 'myConfiguredPod');

@param existingPod The pod instance to configure @param podName The name of the pod being configured @return The configured pod instance

## Implementation

    @override
    Future<Object> configurePod(Object existing, String name) async {
      RootPodDefinition root = getMergedPodDefinition(name);
      Class podClass = root.type;
      PodHolder ph = (existing, podClass);

      // Apply property population
      await populate(name, root, ph);

      return initializeExistingPod(existing, podClass, name);
    }
