Summary

  • Add focusable, labelled DataTable resize separators with current and minimum pixel values, keyboard Arrow controls, and Home minimum reset.
  • Use Pointer Events and pointer capture from each rendered header width so fluid columns do not jump on their first drag; cancel, lost-capture, and unmount paths release active state.
  • Keep resize events out of sortable headers and add regression coverage for drag baselines, keyboard values, clamping, cleanup, and sort isolation.

Validation

pnpm run verify passed through build; its pack check also passed when rerun with an isolated npm cache because the shared cache contains root-owned files.

Closes #45

Replace mouse-only resize listeners with pointer capture and use the rendered header width as the drag baseline, preventing jumps in fluid tables. Add labelled keyboard separators with 16 px Arrow controls, Home minimum reset, visible token-based grips, and cleanup for cancellation, lost capture, and unmount.

Tests cover rendered-width drag starts, pointer cleanup, minimum clamping, keyboard values, consumer labels, and sort isolation. `pnpm run verify` passes with the package check rerun under an isolated npm cache because the shared cache has root-owned files.

Refs #45
Add a finite 1200px default maximum and optional column maximum, track rendered header widths through ResizeObserver, and expose bounded ARIA values with a consumer-supplied value formatter.

Make pointer cleanup pointer-scoped and reentrant-safe, reject non-primary and secondary input, reserve a 32px token hit target, and guard the grip's light and dark contrast. Tests cover responsive measurements, bounds, multi-pointer cleanup, formatting, target size, and contrast.

Refs #45
Apply the 1200px default maximum only to resizable columns. A noResize column now retains its legacy minimum-only width behavior unless its consumer explicitly supplies maxWidth, which remains enforced.

Add regressions for a 1600px fixed column and an explicitly bounded fixed column. `pnpm run verify` passes with the isolated npm cache.
