Subject: [PATCH] fix: resolve paneldynamic self-referential binding
 overwriting network array data
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Break the two-way binding conflict where non_family_network's panelCount
bound to itself, causing the numeric count to overwrite the person-object
array in 28 survey records.

- Rename non_family_network_size → network_size_agg
- Rename non_family_network → network_list
- Add hidden network_size_list expression as binding intermediary
- panelCount now binds to network_size_list instead of self-referencing
