🚀 Streamlined AI & Enhanced Stability

This release marks a significant step forward in making the Open Data Editor more powerful and accessible. The headline feature is a complete overhaul of the AI functionality, shifting from a free-form prompt to a use-case-driven approach.

• Dismissible Warnings: You can now check a "Don't show again" box to hide the model selection warning in the future.
• Loading Indicator: A loading dialog now appears when the AI model is being selected, providing better feedback.
• User Feedback: We've added a way for you to provide feedback on the AI's results, helping us improve the feature.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed issues that could occur when saving different sheets and updating column headers.
• Resolved various enum access and type errors that could cause crashes.
• Fixed an issue with the hover effect on the first row of a sheet.

🌐 Translations & Language
