### Improvements

- Added `is empty` and `is not empty` string functions in the Filter stage, making it easier to check for empty values in your logs
- Updated Explorer table interaction:
  - Use the Details button on the right of any row to open the Log Details side panel (previously, clicking anywhere on the row would open it)
  - Select body text directly from the table and add to your filter criteria (not available when using Aggregate stage)
- Added highlighting for the current log line in Related Logs, helping you quickly identify and track relevant entries during analysis
- Implemented millisecond support in URLs for logs timestamp to handle Context Links generated by Datadog properly

### Fixes

- Body text in Related Logs was being truncated even when sufficient space was available, with no way to view complete content
- Parse stage with `body` selected as the `from` field caused each dropdown to open by default when opening queries from the Query Library
- Line wrapping functionality wasn’t working correctly on JSON payloads in the body
- Auto-scroll wasn’t functioning when Tail Mode was resumed
- Aggregated query values were incorrectly sorting as text instead of numerically
- Column sorting in aggregated queries would unexpectedly toggle to the default unsorted state when switching between ascending/descending
