First I tried with a bucket of warm water but 32oz of conditioner did not dissolve over 12 hours. Most people recommend to add it to sock and leave in the skimmer.I added a little to a couple 5 gallon buckets and after it sat for 12 hours I would pour a little at a time into the skimmer. I did that over a week

NO glass by the pool please! That is just asking for trouble. You can get a cheap plastic one and have any worries. In fact you need two. One will be just for the muriatic acid and the other one will be for everything else.
I used this pool essential chlorinating liquid active ingredient sodium hypochlorite 10% and other ingredients 90% total ingredients 100%. Which one do I use to input on poolmath app when I chose bleach?
By tomorrow morning all 4lbs water conditioner should dissolve. All i have to raise is calcium hardness. According to pool start-up guide I can raise it slowly to hit target 250-350. So this summer I’m switching from 3” tablet to liquid chlorine. Last year I add 8 3 tablet to automatic chlorine every 2 week. How do I do this with liquid chlorine? How often do I add? How do I shock with liquid chlorine? I paid $90 for 50lbs tablet which last a year. Switch to liquid chlorine. Do I save money or cost me more.
Here is a set of links I put together for new pool owners. This should help answer a couple of your questions.

As you can see on the first one you will add liquid chlorine each day. Yeah the tablets are slightly easier BUT they add extra stuff to your pool that when it builds up will mean you have to drain and replace some of your water.

Finally 4lbs of conditioner fully dissolve but when I test cya I still can see black dot at 30 and at 20 almost disappear. Poolmath recommenced around 3lbs. Should I add some more conditioner and make sure black disappear at 30?
When did the last of it disappear? Wait about a full day of the pump running to make sure it is all mixed in. It is easier to add than remove so we don't want to over do it.
I would NOT add any more just yet then. Give it today and tonight to mix in and try again tomorrow late afternoon.
With it being new plaster you should be brushing twice a day and letting your pump/filter run 24/7 to help clear the plaster dust out. Once you stop seeing any plaster dust when you brush then you can start the pump on a schedule.
Do you have any idea how long would it take to clear all the plaster dust? I will start the pump back on tonight.
Can I used this to test my cya?
The link you posted asking about it was Amazon and it was the correct stuff so you can buy from there.
