Formula Builder Optimization & Refactoring

Consolidated Field Suggestion Logic: Refactored RightPanelStaticComponent.updateFormulaFieldSuggestions to unify the processing of number, formula, and datepicker field types. This merge significantly reduced code redundancy and improved the maintainability of the logic responsible for generating formula tooltips and @mention suggestions.
Enhanced Type Resolution: Optimized the metadata mapping for datepicker fields and derived date formulas, ensuring the formula builder correctly identifies fieldType: 'datepicker' for consistent validation and arithmetic guards.
Architectural Cleanup: Simplified self-reference guards by using a single UUID check for all relevant field types, eliminating redundant conditional blocks.
Documentation Refinement: Repositioned deep technical comments in FormulaBuilderComponent to provide better context for future maintenance.

Replaced multiple type-specific checks with a single iteration block for all numeric/date compatible fields.
Decided to explicitly assign fieldType: 'datepicker' for both native datepicker components and rule-based formulas that resolve to a date, ensuring chained formula inference remains robust.
Standardized self-reference skipping using el.uuid !== this.selectedItem?.uuid.
