+Preserve `undefined` in `DeepValue` accessor value types when a deep string accessor key traverses an optional or nullable parent key. `getValue()` for a path like `user.salary.amount` is now typed as `number | undefined` when `salary` is optional, matching the optional-chaining behavior of the runtime deep accessor.

+The `assignHeaderPrototype` method in a table feature is responsible for adding methods to the shared `header` prototype. For example, the [Column Sizing](https://github.com/TanStack/table/blob/beta/packages/table-core/src/features/column-sizing/columnSizingFeature.ts) feature adds header instance API methods such as `getStart`.

+Initializes instance-specific data on each header group.
+
+This runs for every constructed header group after `depth`, `id`, and the
+fully populated `headers` array have been assigned. Header groups have no
+shared prototype, so this is their only per-instance extension point.
+Header groups are reconstructed whenever they recompute (e.g. column
+visibility, order, or pinning changes), so this reruns on every rebuild.
+
+#### Type Parameters
+
+##### TFeatures
+
+`TFeatures` *extends* [`TableFeatures`](TableFeatures.md)
+
+##### TData
+
+`TData` *extends* [`RowData`](../type-aliases/RowData.md)

+##### headerGroup

+Defined in: [types/TableFeatures.ts:497](https://github.com/TanStack/table/blob/main/packages/table-core/src/types/TableFeatures.ts#L497)
+
+Initializes instance-specific data on each header.
+
+This runs for every constructed header after core header fields such as
+`id`, `column`, `depth`, `index`, and `isPlaceholder` have been assigned,
+but before `subHeaders` are populated and before `headerGroup` is linked.
+Headers are reconstructed on every header group rebuild, so this reruns
+on every rebuild. Use this for per-header mutable data, caches, or
+annotations. Shared methods should be assigned via `assignHeaderPrototype`
+instead.
+
+#### Type Parameters
+
+##### TFeatures
+
+`TFeatures` *extends* [`TableFeatures`](TableFeatures.md)
+
+##### TData
+
+`TData` *extends* [`RowData`](../type-aliases/RowData.md)
+
+##### TValue
+
+`TValue` *extends* `unknown` = `unknown`
+
+#### Parameters
+
+##### header
+
+[`Header`](../type-aliases/Header.md)\<`TFeatures`, `TData`, `TValue`\>
+
+#### Returns

+
+```ts
+function normalizeUniqueAggregationRows<TFeatures, TData>(rows, maxDepth): readonly Row<TFeatures, TData>[];
+```
+
+Defined in: [features/row-aggregation/rowAggregationFeature.utils.ts:105](https://github.com/TanStack/table/blob/main/packages/table-core/src/features/row-aggregation/rowAggregationFeature.utils.ts#L105)
+
+Frontier selection for rows that are distinct nodes of a single row tree —
+the row models the table builds itself. Skips `normalizeAggregationRows`'
+duplicate-id guard (disjoint subtrees cannot revisit a row) and returns
+`rows` unchanged when no row descends, so the default `maxDepth: 0` case
+costs nothing per aggregation.
+
+## Type Parameters
+
+### TFeatures
+
+`TFeatures` *extends* [`TableFeatures`](../../index/interfaces/TableFeatures.md)
+
+### TData
+
+`TData` *extends* [`RowData`](../../index/type-aliases/RowData.md)
+
+## Parameters
+
+### rows
+
+readonly [`Row`](../../index/type-aliases/Row.md)\<`TFeatures`, `TData`\>[]
+
+### maxDepth
+
+`number` = `0`
+
+## Returns
+
+readonly [`Row`](../../index/type-aliases/Row.md)\<`TFeatures`, `TData`\>[]

 Creates a checkbox-style handler that selects or deselects this row.
 
 The handler is a no-op when the row cannot be selected and reads
 `event.target.checked`. Shift events select or deselect the inclusive range
-from the most recent selectable row handled by this table. The event's
-optional `persist()` method is called before it is read. Pass
+from the most recent selectable row handled by this table. Pass
 `selectChildren: false` to limit changes to rows explicitly present in the
 display-order interval.
