Treat a table as stable schema plus instance-specific behavior: explicitly register only the features it needs, stabilize schemas and options, place callbacks in local metadata, and render through table primitives.

- Configure a table deliberately.
- Register explicit capabilities and compose shared infrastructure with only the row models and named functions in use. Do not start tables with
stockFeaturesor whole built-in function registries.

- Stabilize schema and option identities.
- Keep the table contract stable and its capabilities feature-local. Hoist immutable schema, memoize render-local values whether or not the React Compiler is enabled, and reserve declaration merging for a genuinely global contract.
- Render and subscribe at the narrowest correct boundary.
- Render headers, cells, and footers through table primitives.
- Preserve instance ownership through receiver-bound methods and narrow subscriptions, especially for nested components that receive stable table objects.
- Keep table controls consistent as pages load.
- Handle selection, sort clearing, filters, and pinning without treating loaded rows as the full dataset.
