Clarify PR scope: documentation audit + DetailTabTable implementation

[Copilot]

The original PR description focused on documentation audit but omitted substantial implementation work. This update clarifies the full scope.

Changes

Documentation

• Added audit baseline and matrix in documentation/frontend/tables.md inventorying detail-tab table/list implementations across Locality, Species, Reference, TimeUnit, TimeBound, and Museum components
• Documented primitive types (SimpleTable, EditableTable, SelectingTable), data sources (API-driven, context-driven, mixed), and edit-mode actions for 10 user-requested URLs
• Added rollout checklist for future tab migrations to DetailTabTable

Shared Component

• Created DetailTabTable wrapper consolidating column sorting, shift-click multi-sort, per-column filters, column visibility toggle, and CSV export
• Applied default species ordering (order_name, family_name, genus_name, species_name) when no explicit sort is set
• Migrated 8 read-only and editable tabs to use unified table controls

Backend

• Added tabularQuery.ts service validating sorting and pagination parameters
• Implemented query validation for museum, reference, timeUnit, timeBound tab-list endpoints
• Added API tests for query validation and pagination edge cases

Edit Controls

• Enabled advanced table controls (sort, filter, export) in EditableTable and SelectingTable
• CSV export respects current sorted/filtered/visible state

Example

Before migration, tabs used inconsistent primitives with limited interaction:

// Reference/Tabs/LocalityTab.tsx - old
<SimpleTable {...} /> // No sorting, filtering, or export

After migration:

// Reference/Tabs/LocalityTab.tsx - new
<DetailTabTable
  columns={columns}
  data={localities}
  tableId="reference-localities-tab"
  onRowClick={handleRowClick}
/>
// Gains: sortable columns, filters, column visibility, CSV export

Just as a heads up, I was blocked by some firewall rules while working on your feedback. Expand below for details.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• checkpoint.prisma.io
  • Triggering command: /opt/hostedtoolcache/node/24.13.0/x64/bin/node /opt/hostedtoolcache/node/24.13.0/x64/bin/node /home/REDACTED/work/nowdatabase/nowdatabase/backend/node_modules/prisma/build/child {"product":"prisma","version":"5.22.0","cli_install_type":"local","information":"","local_timestamp":"2026-02-18T14:14:32Z","project_hash":"a620d0a8","cli_path":"/home/REDACTED/work/nowdatabase/nowdatabase/backend/node_modules/prisma/build/index.js","cli_pa (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
