Subject: [PATCH] test(nodejs): cover local object-form table creation across
 connections

## Summary

- add a regression test for object-form `createTable` on two independent local Node.js connections
- verify both connections use the same table name while preserving each database's rows

## Scope

This test covers the public local `connect(tmpDir)` path. It does not exercise LanceDB Cloud or remote create requests, and it does not establish a remote root cause or a complete fix for #952.
