Description
Have some code that I need to know if the user checked or the API changed the selection
This event all works on the row selection, but does not fire when clicking the header checkbox
Due to the event.stopPropagation on the click event, I have no way to detect when this header checkbox is clicked
dTable.on('user-select', function (e, dt, type, cell, originalEvent) {
// fires on user rows but not on header
});

Research direction
Start from the dTable.on('user-select', ...) entry point and trace how row selection differs from the header checkbox click, including the event.stopPropagation behavior. Done means a user-triggered header selection can be detected without confusing it with API-driven selection, with the existing row-selection behavior preserved.
