Research direction

Start by reproducing the undo-redo stack clearing after calling updateConfig(), then read the linked Handsontable pull request and HyperFormula issue for context. Done means identifying why the stack is cleared and preventing that behavior where possible, with a regression test showing the stack remains available after configuration updates.
