refactor: update delta declarations to use DeltaBuilder in lossless tests

- Refactored delta declarations in __tests__/lossless.ts to use DeltaBuilder
- Added declareTransaction method to DeltaBuilder for better transaction handling
- Updated transaction pointer structure in DeltaBuilder to match expected format
- Fixed related tests to work with the new DeltaBuilder implementation
