Contributions summary:Savas primarily focused on addressing label overlap issues within the time axis of the charting library. Their contributions involved modifying the `AxisBuilder.ts` file to incorporate a solution, utilizing label layout helper functions and introducing a priority mechanism based on the level of the ticks. Further refinements included adding a comment to describe the fix and refactoring to use `z2` for priority. This user's work directly improved the visual clarity and usability of time-based charts.
