Paul Trowbridge 7006014cc3 Isolate a slice on a blank dimension value instead of widening it
Clicking the blank `partgroup` node under ALTMAN PLANTS selected the customer's
whole $27,588,393.62 (6,851 rows) rather than the $6,198,860.42 (2,421) under
the node clicked -- and the ledger agreed, because the panel totals through the
same filter list the operation writes from. The key was not narrowed, it was
absent, and an absent key means every value of it.

The drop is the engine's: `getCellConfig` builds the click's filter list with
`pivot_value ? [pivot, '==', pivot_value] : undefined`, so a blank group key is
gone before `perspective-click` is dispatched -- and being falsy, so is a
dimension whose value is 0. `cellFilters()` re-derives both axes from
`detail.row.__ROW_PATH__` and the clicked column name instead; the click and a
dragged region now share that one derivation rather than keeping two copies of
the same falsy test.

Both blanks are real here and they are different rows: `partgroup` is null on
51,964 and '' on 111,696. So they stay distinct end to end. `buildWhere` renders
a null as IS NULL, where it used to fall through `esc()` to `= ''` and select
*the other blank* -- the slice naming one node while the operation wrote the
other. In a list the null arm is ORed on, since `IN (NULL)` is never true. The
ledger filters with `is null` rather than `== null`, the engine matching on type
and a null threshold against a string column being the same dropped predicate.

Only `undefined` now means absent, which keeps a subtotal row (a shorter row
path) and a collapsed column level reading as "not part of the slice".

A blank on the *column* axis still cannot be isolated: a column name is its
values joined with '|' and a null joins as the empty string, so the two blanks
are the same text by the time it reaches the client. Those cells are refused
with a message rather than widened.

The panel prints (null) and (blank), and keeps em dash for a column genuinely
absent from the slice -- isolating the blank node and ignoring the column are
opposite statements and read identically before.

React + Vite

This template provides a minimal setup to get React working in Vite with HMR and some ESLint rules.

Currently, two official plugins are available:

React Compiler

The React Compiler is not enabled on this template because of its impact on dev & build performances. To add it, see this documentation.

Expanding the ESLint configuration

If you are developing a production application, we recommend using TypeScript with type-aware lint rules enabled. Check out the TS template for information on how to integrate TypeScript and typescript-eslint in your project.
