fix(core): cdk deploy stops early if 2 stacks with a dependency betwe…

…en them share an asset (#25719)

Fixes cdk deploy not completing for some apps by removing cycles from core's worker graph between asset publishing steps & stacks. These cycles may be introduced when there dependencies between stacks and these stacks share assets with the same contents.

Additionally fixes a bug in the worker graph's error handling for cycles. 

Closes #25714
