hard-won battle to fix view resolution

- Fixed AggregationResolver to properly accumulate values for sum/average/count operations
- Enhanced CustomResolver with detailed debug logging for dependency resolution
- Added execution order logging for better debugging
- Improved error messages and graph visualization in dependency resolution
- Moved valueFromCollapsedDelta to lossless.ts for better code organization
