 ### Fixed
 
+- Data grid: dropdown / boolean / date / JSON / blob cells now show or hide their chevron accessory when the cell's editability changes (refresh, safe-mode toggle, view-to-table switch). The performance pass in #1212 made `configure` skip `needsDisplay = true` when nothing visible changed, but the editability flag was updated unconditionally without flagging a redraw, so chevrons could stick in their stale state (visible in `audit_log.payload` JSON cells after save / refresh / reopen)
 - Welcome window sometimes failed to open on launch (and Dock-icon clicks did nothing) when the previous session restored only main connection windows. `WindowOpenerBridge` was mounted only in the Welcome scene and used `.onAppear`, so if Welcome got `orderOut`'d before its first appearance the bridge never wired and every `openWelcome()` call queued forever. The bridge now mounts in all four SwiftUI scenes (Welcome, ConnectionForm, IntegrationsActivity, Settings) and uses `.task` so wiring fires reliably whenever any scene materializes
 - Plugin upgrades for built-in drivers (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, ClickHouse, Redis, etc.) no longer revert to the bundled version after restart. Discovery now scans both built-in and user plugin directories, picks the newest version by `CFBundleShortVersionString`, and only prunes user copies that are older than or equal to the built-in (#1192)
 - Concurrent plugin installs from the registry can no longer race past the `isInstalling` guard; the lock now wraps `installFromRegistry` and `updateFromRegistry` end-to-end
