Reorder callback declarations before the useEffect that depends on them
to fix TypeScript "used before declaration" errors. The loadConfig and
loadProviders callbacks must be declared before the useEffect dependency
array references them.

Add instructional text explaining what workspaces are to help users without
referring to documentation. Display warning when all workspaces are deleted,
and prevent saving file system plugins without at least one valid workspace.
Always enforce allowAccessOutsideWorkspace: false for security. Validation
state is tracked and passed from FileSystemForm to parent component to disable
the Save button when invalid.
Remove useCallback wrapper from handleWorkspaceChange that was causing issues.
Add special handling for classpath plugin which doesn't support workspaces:
- Disable Add Workspace button for classpath
- Show warning message explaining classpath limitation
- Always mark validation as valid for classpath regardless of workspaces
- Track fsType changes and update validation state accordingly
The classpath file system plugin does not support workspaces, so the tab is
now completely hidden when classpath is selected. This provides a cleaner UI
and prevents confusion about why workspaces cannot be added.
Wrap handleWorkspaceChange in useCallback to ensure it properly captures
current values of dependencies and calls emitChange with correct state.
…seMemo

Wrap addWorkspace, removeWorkspace, and updateWorkspace in useCallback to ensure
they have access to current state. Wrap wsColumns in useMemo to prevent unnecessary
table re-renders and state churn. Add debugging console.logs to diagnose button
click issues.
The problem was that adding a workspace would call emitChange, which updated
the parent's config. The parent would re-render and pass the updated config
back to FileSystemForm. The useEffect([config]) would then fire and re-initialize
workspaces from config - but config only contains workspaces with valid names,
so empty workspaces were filtered out.

The fix is to only re-initialize workspaces when the connection string changes
(indicating a different storage plugin), not on every config update. This
allows local workspace changes to persist while still loading workspaces when
the user switches plugins.

Also cleaned up debug console.logs.
Prevent users from creating workspaces with duplicate names in the same plugin.
When duplicate names are detected:
- Display an error alert showing which names are duplicated
- Disable the Save button until duplicates are resolved
- Update validation in real-time as user types

Added getDuplicateWorkspaceNames helper function to detect duplicates, and
integrated it into the validation logic.
The workspace list wasn't being loaded on first component mount because
lastConfigRef was initialized with config, so on the first useEffect run,
lastConnection === currentConnection and initialization was skipped.

Added initializedRef flag to ensure workspaces are loaded on first mount,
then only re-initialize when the connection string changes. This ensures
saved workspaces appear in the UI after page reload while still preserving
local edits during the same session.
## Summary
Add interactive column menus to the ResultsGrid component with 5 feature categories:
1. **Actions** - Hide/show columns, pin/unpin to left/right
2. **Statistics** - Calculate and display column stats (count, null count, distinct, min/max/avg)
3. **Filters** - Show top 10 values and data quality indicators
4. **Transform** - SQL transformations (UPPER, LOWER, TRIM, CAST, TRUNCATE, SUBSTRING)
5. **Export** - Copy to clipboard or export as CSV

## Architecture
- **SQL Transformation Utility** (src/utils/sqlTransformations.ts): Regex-based transformation logic
  - Handles simple columns, table prefixes, backticks, and aliases
  - Safe column wrapping with SQL functions
  - Client-side statistics calculation

- **ColumnMenu Component** (src/components/results/ColumnMenu.tsx): Custom menu with 5 tabs
  - Statistics calculation from displayed data
  - Column visibility and pinning controls
  - Top 10 values preview for quick data exploration
  - Text transformations and type casting options

- **CustomHeader Component** (src/components/results/CustomHeader.tsx): AG Grid header integration
  - Menu button in column headers using Popover
  - Connects to ColumnMenu for user interactions

- **ResultsGrid Updates** (src/components/results/ResultsGrid.tsx):
  - Column state persistence to localStorage
  - New toolbar buttons for column and sort management
  - Modal dialogs for managing column visibility and sort order
  - Event listeners for saving state on column changes

- **SqlLabPage Handler** (src/pages/SqlLabPage.tsx):
  - handleTransformColumn callback that shows preview modal
  - Transformation confirmation before modifying SQL
  - Auto-executes query after transformation

## Features Implemented
✅ Column Actions (hide/show, pin/unpin)
✅ Column Statistics (count, nulls, distinct, min/max/avg, percentages)
✅ Data Quality Indicators (non-null %, uniqueness %)
✅ Quick Data Preview (top 10 values)
✅ SQL Transformations (UPPER, LOWER, TRIM, CAST, TRUNCATE, SUBSTRING)
✅ Export Functions (copy to clipboard, export as CSV)
✅ Column State Persistence (localStorage)
✅ Sort Management (view current sorts, clear all)
✅ Column Management (show/hide all columns)

## Technical Details
- Regex-based SQL transformation instead of parser library (avoids 500KB+ dependency)
- Statistics computed on displayed/paginated data (not full dataset)
- AG Grid API integration for column visibility and pinning
- localStorage for persisting column state across sessions
- TypeScript interfaces for type safety
- Ant Design components for consistent UI
