🎯 Changes

Respect explicit columnVisibility entries on parent group columns before falling back to child column visibility in column_getIsVisible.

Previously, column_getIsVisible checked childColumns.some(...) first whenever a column had child columns, ignoring columnVisibility[column.id] when set directly on the parent group column. Checking columnVisibility[column.id] first preserves the child-visibility fallback when the parent column id is not present in columnVisibility, while allowing callers to hide or show a parent group header directly.

Closes #5770

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Parent columns now correctly remain hidden when explicitly set to hidden, even if their child columns are visible.
    • Parent columns without an explicit visibility setting continue to reflect the visibility of their child columns.
    • Toggling grouped columns now preserves and updates the group’s visibility state consistently.
    • Group visibility controls now account for explicit parent-column visibility settings.

…anStack#5770)

Check columnVisibility[column.id] in column_getIsVisible before falling back to childColumns.some(...) so explicit visibility state on a parent group column is respected when present.

- Line 95: Update column_toggleVisibility so toggling a group column also
updates its explicit columnVisibility entry, while preserving the existing
leaf-column updates. Ensure both showing and hiding a group synchronize the
parent value, and add coverage for both toggle directions.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Check parent visibility before promoting a child header.

When an explicitly hidden parent has visible children and another visible branch makes the header tree deeper, constructHeaderGroup promotes a child back to the hidden parent. table.getHeaderGroups() can then expose the hidden parent header.

Suggested fix
-    if (isLeafHeader && headerToGroup.column.parent) {
+    if (
+      isLeafHeader &&
+      headerToGroup.column.parent &&
+      getIsColumnVisible(headerToGroup.column.parent)
+    ) {

Update the child-header promotion condition in constructHeaderGroup to require
getIsColumnVisible(headerToGroup.column.parent) when a parent exists, preventing
promotion beneath an explicitly hidden parent while preserving existing
leaf-header and parent checks.
