feat(ui): book browse table on TanStack table v9

[alexhb1]

Description

Adds the new table view for the book browser, built on newly updated tanstack table v9.

This also makes the minimum changes needed to the old book table to keep the compiler from breaking.

Linked Issue

Changes

• book-browse-table.component - New table with virtual rows, resizeable columns, etc, like the old table. It works with the single book field registry to allow for things like sorting by clicking on the headers, selection checkboxes and all the shared select state, a row menu for overflow genres and tags, cell values that link to the matching facet, and the same skeleton/empty/error states as the virtual grid.
• book-browse-column-width-preference.service.ts - Column widths in local storage
• Old book table component gets quick v9 API migration to keep it from breaking until deleted
• Updated Tanstack Table to 9.1.0

Manual Testing Steps

Use table view in #2375

savedScrollTop to use the injected Renderer2 instance’s setProperty(...) instead
of directly assigning element.scrollLeft or element.scrollTop, preserving the
existing values and timing.
- Line 191: Add a direct fixture regression test covering delayed binding of the
required inputs before table initialization, and update the initialization path
around the injectTable() options callback so it is removed or deferred until
inputs are available. Preserve the required-input contract and existing
synchronous change-detection behavior; do not substitute default input values.

Timestamp: 2026-04-05T21:16:01.715Z
Learning: When reviewing code in the Grimmory frontend (Angular), prefer modern Angular patterns. Specifically: (1) Prefer `DestroyRef` with `takeUntilDestroyed(destroyRef)` for teardown in Angular v16+ instead of manually tracking `Subscription` arrays and calling `unsubscribe()` in `ngOnDestroy()`. (2) Prefer `inject()` for dependency injection over constructor injection where appropriate. (3) Prefer Angular signals (e.g., `signal`, `computed`) over `BehaviorSubject`/`Observable` for state where signals/computed values fit the use case. Flag older patterns when they can be replaced with these modern equivalents without changing behavior.

🔇 Additional comments (2)

frontend/src/app/features/book/browse/book-browse-table.component.ts (2)

191-191: Existing delayed-input finding still applies.

The injectTable() options callback still reads this.books() before Angular guarantees required input binding. The existing review comment covers this path.

353-353: Existing direct DOM finding also applies to scrollToTop.

The existing scroll-restoration finding covers the assignment at line 353. Apply the same direct-DOM resolution to the scrollTop assignment at line 375.

Also applies to: 375-375
