- Per-rule connectives: the chip before each rule flips that rule
between AND and OR — OR-joined neighbors merge into an invisible
OR-block, AND pulls them back out. The tree stays the single source
of truth (implicit blocks are a client marker the server ignores),
so deep links, saved filters, and the composed engine are untouched.
Group-mode pills are gone; explicit groups remain as pure structure
(+ group). Compile limit, same as Excel: flat chips express
AND-of-OR-groups; a top-level OR of AND-blocks still needs nesting.
- Browse-on-click: clicking an empty value box now fetches the field's
top values UNDER the other rules (blank typed = browse, not a
similarity filter) — 'assign an author, click Publisher, see their
publishers' without typing. Server: the composed suggestion engine
trims the typed query; client: the >=2-char guard no longer blocks
the empty query, browse limit 15 vs 8 while typing.
- Tests: the browse case pinned (blank sentinel + rules → the field's
values under those rules, zero-match values absent).
