Adding filament style hidden option to columns

[paulhennell]

Needed a way to hide columns for some users and instinctively reached for Filament style ->hidden() options but it wasn't there so thought I'd add it.

Added tests to confirm it doesn't show when unintended, nor break any other functions.

I had originally thought to use existing Filament\CanBeHidden trait, but there are multiple versions and all appear to add additional properties I am not confident would always work in this projects context. (See say Filament\Schemas\Components\Concerns\CanBeHidden which adds hiddenOn and many other options).

It seemed easier to simply duplicate only the few required options to a project CanBeHidden trait.

Pull request overview

This PR adds Filament-style conditional visibility controls for Flowforge board columns, allowing columns to be hidden or shown per user/context.

Changes:

• Introduces a CanBeHidden concern for columns with hidden(), visible(), isHidden(), and isVisible().
• Updates board column retrieval to exclude non-visible columns from rendering.
• Expands Livewire and standalone board tests to verify hidden columns don’t render by default and can be revealed.

The CanBeHidden trait and API design look good -- clean implementation that follows Filament patterns. However, there's a consistency issue in HasBoardColumns that will cause bugs:

Critical Issue

getColumns() now filters hidden columns, but getColumnIdentifiers(), getColumnLabels(), and getColumnColors() still iterate over ALL columns (including hidden ones). This creates array mismatches where these methods return data for columns that getColumns() excluded.

Recommended fix: Extract a getVisibleColumns() helper and use it in all getter methods:

private function getVisibleColumns(): array
{
    return array_filter($this->columns, fn (Column $column) => $column->isVisible());
}

public function getColumns(): array
{
    return $this->getVisibleColumns();
}

public function getColumnIdentifiers(): array
{
    return array_map(fn (Column $column) => $column->getName(), $this->getVisibleColumns());
}

// Same for getColumnLabels(), getColumnColors()

Missing Test Coverage

• No test for ->hidden(true) with boolean literal (only Closure tested)
• No test for getColumnIdentifiers() / getColumnLabels() excluding hidden columns
• No test for edge case: all columns hidden

The trait itself is well-written -- just needs the getter consistency fix to be safe.

Pushed three commits addressing all feedback:

• 3bd1ab5 (@ManukMinasyan's critical issue, Copilot thread Arch #1): added a getVisibleColumns() helper used by getColumns(), getColumnIdentifiers(), getColumnLabels(), and getColumnColors() so the maps stay in sync with the rendered columns. Wrapped the filter in array_values() so callers that JSON-encode the list never see a sparse, object-shaped payload.
• fcae509 (Copilot thread Next #2): documented the CanBeHidden evaluate() contract with a @mixin \Filament\Support\Components\ViewComponent hint and an explanatory docblock.
• 14c178d (@ManukMinasyan's missing coverage, Copilot thread [Bug]: editAction error #3): added a Column unit test covering hidden(true) and visible(false) literals, closure evaluation, and hidden()/visible() precedence; plus Livewire tests asserting the getters exclude hidden columns, that getColumns() returns a sequentially-indexed array, a re-hide-after-show regression, and the all-columns-hidden edge case.

Local checks (vendor/bin/pint, vendor/bin/pest) are green. PHPStan is clean on changed files — the 4 pre-existing ternary.alwaysTrue reports in InteractsWithBoard.php are present on 4.x and unrelated to this PR.
