fix(studio): center row checkbox in pinned data cells [ASTD-470]

[aray12]

Summary

In a table with pinned columns, the row-selection checkbox was left-aligned in its cell while the select-all checkbox in the header was centered, leaving the column visibly ragged. Pinned cells are stripped to padding: 0 and the header cell is flex-centered, but the data cell stayed block-level — so justify-items and text-align: center were inert on it. This gives td[data-pinned] the same flex centering as th[data-pinned], so header and row checkboxes line up.

Before	After

Changes

• StudioDataView.css: split the pinned-cell centering into a rule that covers both th[data-pinned] and td[data-pinned] (display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center), instead of centering only the header cell.

Type of Change

• Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor)
• Code change with documentation updates
• Documentation only
• Contributor tooling or automation
• CI, build, or test infrastructure

Quality Gates

• Tests added or updated for changed behavior
• Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification:
• Tests not applicable — justification: CSS-only layout change. The repo's jsdom-based unit tests do not evaluate stylesheets, so no unit test can observe this. Verified instead by measuring computed geometry in a real browser (below), with the existing DataView suite run as a regression check.
• Documentation updated for user-visible behavior
• Documentation not applicable — justification: no documented behavior changes; this corrects cell alignment only.

Verification

• Pull request title follows the repository's Conventional Commit format
• Every commit includes an appropriate Signed-off-by: trailer
• uv run pre-commit run -a passes, or any blocked checks are identified below
• Targeted tests pass, or tests are marked not applicable above
• No secrets, API keys, or credentials are included

Targeted validation:

• uv run pre-commit run -a — all hooks pass except two that are blocked by the local environment and do not inspect CSS:

  • Helm Docs — fails because helm-docs is not installed on this machine.
  • Run uv lock with platform uv — fails because it requires uv 0.9.14 and this machine has uv 0.9.28. The related Check for uv.lock drift hook passed, so the lockfile itself is in sync.

• pnpm --filter @nemo/common test src/components/DataView — 8 files, 74 tests passed.

• npx prettier --check packages/common/src/components/DataView/StudioDataView.css — passes.

• Browser measurement on the Agents table (checkbox x in px):

  	header checkbox	row checkbox
  before	277	265
  after	277	277

  The 12px gap is exactly (40 − 16) / 2 — the centering offset the header had and the row cells did not. The right-pinned row-actions button was measured before and after and is unchanged at x=1500, so that column does not regress.

Notes for reviewers:

• The defect predates the symptom. It became visible only once fix(studio): Agent DataView row selection column pinning #1373 removed the Agents table's columnPinning override, letting row-selection fall back to DEFAULT_COLUMN_PINNING in useStudioDataViewState and become pinned-left for the first time. fix(studio): Agent DataView row selection column pinning #1373 is not at fault — it removed an accidental shield.
• This rule is shared, so the fix also covers tables that already pinned their selection column explicitly, such as ExperimentDataView (left: ['pin', 'row-selection']), which had the same misalignment.

and td[data-pinned] selectors so custom pinned data columns retain
columnDef.meta?.alignment from TableContent.tsx; restrict flex centering to the
prebuilt control columns or derive justify-content from the configured
alignment, while preserving centered select and row-action controls.
