Aggregation and Reference Column Hardening

[tylerriccio33]

Summary

The purpose of this PR is to further maintain and harden how aggregations, and the reference column in particular work. There are a few spots I'd like to target in this PR

1. Briefs - the briefs were never implemented
2. The validate stub generator was a little hacky. I made it slightly more informative and robust, and included it in CI (major change)!
3. The type alias on unresolved columns for Reference was too narrow, so I expanded it to take collections.

Still tuning the ci and pre-commit ordering

Alright, finally this is good to go. Found out ruff implements some line formatting very slightly differently across versions. I pinned ruff and made a note of this, to keep it in sync with the rev in pre-commit. CI will catch if they are out of sync.
