Renders the active-filter banner above a panel's GridView.

The banner surfaces normalized active filters as removable pills, plus a "Clear all" action. By default it derives
those filters from scalar `<FormName>[<attr>]` query parameters; callers may supply sanitized values after applying
domain validation. Removal links rebuild the current URL minus the targeted parameters while preserving unrelated
state such as sort and theme.

## Property details

### $activeFilters <span id="property-activeFilters"></span>

```php
public array<string, mixed>|null $activeFilters = null
```

Normalized filter values to display, or `null` to derive them from the request.

The Clear all link still removes every raw filter key, including submitted values omitted from this map after
validation.

## Method details

### run() <span id="method-run"></span>

```php
public function run(): string
```

Returns rendered banner HTML, or empty string when no filters are active.

**Returns**

`string`: Rendered banner, or `''` when no filter is active.

**Throws**

- [`yii\base\InvalidConfigException`](/docs/api/yii/base/invalidconfigexception/index.md): when the widget is instantiated without a `searchModel`.
