Add pks parameter to render_cell() plugin hook#2641
Merged
Conversation
The render_cell() hook now receives a pks parameter containing the list of primary key column names for the table being rendered. This avoids plugins needing to make redundant async calls to look up primary keys. For tables without an explicit primary key, pks is ["rowid"]. For custom SQL queries and views, pks is an empty list []. https://claude.ai/code/session_01HFYfevAziq4fSYTNRD9ZCh
