feat(chart): always auto-run on load instead of requiring ?run=true

sanjams2 · sanjams2 · commit 8ea3bfcea2b1 · 2026-03-25T02:11:30.000Z
Per review feedback, simplify to always auto-run when the Chart Explorer loads with a valid source, rather than gating behind a ?run=true query param. The tableSource check serves as the non-empty guard. Validation errors are suppressed on the initial auto-run so users landing with an incomplete config don't see an error toast. Addresses #1961 (comment)
