# Objective
- The column filter popover was a static `ContextMenu`: no search, and
it didn't scale to columns with many unique values.
## Solution
- Replaced it with a `Picker<ColumnFilterDelegate>` with fuzzy search
and match highlighting over the column's unique values.
- Row order is frozen at open time (available first, then values hidden
by other filters under a "Hidden by other filters" header) so toggling a
value doesn't reshuffle the list.
- Added a footer with `{selected} / {total} rows selected` and "Clear
all".
- Added `fuzzy` and `picker` deps to `csv_preview`.
## Testing
- Search narrows to fuzzy matches with highlighting.
- Toggling a value updates its checkmark and footer count without
closing or reordering the list.
- Values excluded by another column's filter show disabled under "Hidden
by other filters".
- "Clear all" clears the column's filters and keeps the popover open.
