/**
 * AlertBuilder - A builder pattern implementation for constructing CreateAlertData objects
 *
 * This builder provides a fluent interface for creating alert data with proper validation
 * and default values. It follows the Builder pattern which is a standard design pattern
 * in TypeScript for constructing complex objects.
 *
 * Usage example:
 * const alertData = new AlertBuilder()
 *   .setCategory(AlertCategory.OPERATIONS)
 *   .setPropertyId("prop123")
 *   .setTitle("Device Offline")
 *   .setDescription("Device has been offline for more than 5 minutes")
 *   .setEntityId("device456")
 *   .setEntityType(EntityType.DEVICE)
 *   .setSeverity(AlertSeverity.HIGH)
 *   .setCreatedBy("user789")
 *   .build();
