🐛 / ✨ Enhance Dynaport Logic and Data Structure Handling for Dynamic Component References

[MFA-X-AI]

Description

This pull request introduces several updates and bug fixes to the Dynaport logic within the Xircuits framework. Key improvements include:

• Bug Fix for Dynamic Ports: Resolved an issue where passing parameters from non-literal components incorrectly used the port name string ('c_5.page', 'c_11.current_item') instead of the actual component values. This fix ensures that references like c_9.inspect.value = [c_5.page, c_11.current_item] now correctly use the actual values from the components, enhancing the accuracy of data handling.

• Dynamic Data Structure Handling: The update introduces improved argument classes with getter methods, allowing for more flexible data processing. The dynalist and dynatuple have been redefined as subclasses of Python's built-in list and tuple, respectively, to enhance their functionality. The dynadict class has been removed due to its limitations, and its functionality is replaced by the new MakeDict component, which constructs dictionaries from dynalist instances for keys and values, maintaining dynamic component connectivity.

• Lit to Port Validation Logic Update: The PR also includes updates to the lit to port validation logic, such as allowing Literal Chats to connect to a list InPort, further broadening the framework's versatility.
