Improve Filter functionality and styling

We're going to improve the Filter functionality. There should be one unfilled filter displayed by default (rather than zero right now). The X to delete the filter should be right aligned and in the first row. Add more styling to make the filter boxes clearer. We should support an autocomplete, which is done by issuing a query to the server to find unique values given the typed prefix. Issue on every keypress. This should be cached in memory. Have some reasonable limit on how many options we show.
Worked for 3m 23s

Clarification

  • Implemented autocomplete with best-guess integration into the Choices.js library. If the library behaves differently, further adjustments may be required.

Summary

  • Cached column information and added an in-memory autocomplete lookup in the server

  • Styled filter boxes with borders and placed the delete button at the top-right corner

  • Preloaded one empty filter and issued autocomplete requests on each keypress with client-side caching

Testing

  • ✅ uv sync --frozen

  • ✅ pytest -q

If there's nothing in the filter values field, the filter should do nothing (so the preloaded empty filter is equivalent to having no filters).
Completed

Clarification

  • Implemented logic to ignore filters when their value field is empty.

Summary

  • Cached column metadata and autocomplete lookup in the server, plus a new check that filters with no value are skipped during query construction

  • Default filter is added when columns are loaded and non-empty values are now validated before submitting queries

Testing

  • ✅ uv sync --frozen

  • ✅ pytest -q
