📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds list parameter preservation logic to StreamlitUI by tracking whether TOPP parameters were originally lists and reconstructing them after JSON deserialization through string splitting.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
List Parameter Preservation src/workflow/StreamlitUI.py	Added original_is_list flag to TOPP parameter entries to track list types. Implemented string-to-list conversion after loading by splitting on newlines, ensuring list parameters survive JSON storage and retrieval cycles.

Poem

🐰 Through JSON's winding corridors we hop,
Lists split by newlines, never to drop!
A flag marks the way, original_is_list so true,
Preserving our parameters—old, reformed, and new!
