Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main' into remote-set-unenforced-primary-key

Keep the remote set_unenforced_primary_key implementation over main's
NotSupported stub, and drop the remote test case that expected it to fail.

+# TypeSafe request batching
+
+## Available evidence
+
+The focused tests exercise the native reranker with a mocked API. For 80 non-null
+candidates, `batch_size=1` makes 80 `system_one` calls and `batch_size=40` makes
+exactly two. Boundary tests cover 0, 1, 39, 40, 41, 80, and 81 candidates, including
+a partially filled last batch. These are request-count checks, not latency or
+ranking-quality measurements.
+
+Validation on this patch: **124 tests passed**, with the credential-dependent live
+test skipped. This includes real local vector/FTS/hybrid searches, async queries,
+and TypeSafe SDK 0.7.1 over a mock HTTP transport (including SDK-managed retries).
+Repository-wide Ruff formatting/lint, the benchmark CLI, and the MkDocs build
+also passed.
+
+### Live subset test
+
+A live test on the first 100 cached GooAQ queries (6,851 candidate pairs) passed
+with `jev-1.13.0`, SDK 0.7.1, and concurrency 32 in both modes. Candidate IDs,
+probabilities, resolved models, and request counts were checked for every record.
+All three 80-candidate queries made exactly two batched calls. Live vector, FTS,
+hybrid, empty-FTS, and multivector integration checks also passed in both modes.
+No correctness fixes were needed.
+
+The subsequent batch-ordering simplification passed all 124 automated tests and
+a fresh four-query live check (original query indices 0, 1, 2, and 8; 292 candidate
+pairs). Unbatched/batched calls were 292/8, including exactly two calls for the
+80-candidate case. The 100-query measurements below are from the initial
+implementation, identified by commit and source hash in the linked report.
+
+| Batch size | Subset SDK calls | Median | p95 |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| 1 | 6,851 | 877 ms | 9,446 ms |
+| 40 | 199 | 351 ms | 598 ms |
+
+| Search | Unbatched Hit@5 / Hit@10 | Batched Hit@5 / Hit@10 |
+| --- | ---: | ---: |
+| Vector | 82% / 88% | 84% / 89% |
+| FTS | 72% / 77% | 73% / 78% |
+| Hybrid | 83% / 89% | 84% / 90% |
+
+These are **subset-test observations, not full benchmark results**. The full run
+was manually stopped after 494 matched queries; this summary uses the first 100
+input queries without selection by latency or scores. Counts above exclude other
+queries completed before stopping. The high unbatched p95 is retained as observed;
+it is not attributed to a specific cause. A complete 2,000-query paired benchmark
+is still needed before making a general performance or quality claim. Exact values
+and configuration are in [the subset test report](typesafe_subset_test.json).
+
+The historical GooAQ results motivated this patch: the earlier custom adapter
+reported 186 ms median / 387 ms p95; native unbatched scoring at concurrency 32
+reported 805 ms / 1,193 ms for 2,000 queries and 136,586 candidate pairs using
+`jev-1.13.0`. Those separate runs are not measurements of this patch. See the
+[research results](https://github.com/lancedb/research/blob/codex/use-native-typesafe-reranker/reranking/results/README.md)
+and [earlier adapter](https://github.com/lancedb/research/blob/412a522/reranking/jev_reranker.py).
+
+## Run the paired benchmark
+
+Use the exact `candidates.json` from the research benchmark cache. It is a JSON
+array of records with `query`, expected `answer`, ordered `vector` and `fts` ID
+lists, and a `documents` mapping from string IDs to text. Distinct IDs may have
+identical text. To prepare candidates without scoring models, use the research
+branch's [benchmark](https://github.com/lancedb/research/blob/codex/use-native-typesafe-reranker/reranking/compare_jev.py)
+with `--models none`; its default corpus and query counts reproduce the protocol.
+
+After bootstrapping this checkout's Python development environment, run from
+`python/` (set `TYPESAFE_API_KEY` or pass `--api-key-file`):
+
+```sh
+uv run --extra tests --with typesafe-sdk==0.7.1 benchmarks/bench_typesafe.py \
+  --candidates /path/to/research/reranking/.benchmark-cache/candidates.json \
+  --model jev-1.13.0 --max-concurrency 32 \
+  --cache /tmp/typesafe-batching-fresh \
+  --output /tmp/typesafe-batching-results.json
+```
+
+Both modes use the same installed SDK, model, prompt, candidates, and concurrency.
+They score each query's candidate union once, alternating which mode runs first.
+Timings include native reranking and SDK retries, exclude retrieval, and report
+median/p95 milliseconds. Request counts mean logical SDK calls, excluding
+SDK-internal retry attempts. The output includes resolved model IDs, package
+versions, implementation and candidate hashes, and vector/FTS/hybrid Hit@5 and
+Hit@10. As in the research protocol, each metric uses 4× overfetch and a hit means
+an exact match to the expected answer text. Ties retain retrieval order.
+
+Scores and timings can resume from a cache. Cache identities separate batch size,
+request format, model, SDK version, concurrency, prompt, implementation, and input
+candidate bytes. Use a new cache directory for fresh timings. The report identifies
+reused queries; don't compare runs with different resolved models or environments.
+API errors and malformed responses abort the benchmark without fallback scores.

+"""WAL-PK-FUSION: hybrid search's primary-key fallback for MemWAL tables.
+
+Hybrid search joins its vector and full-text legs on `_rowid`, which a MemWAL
+table cannot supply: the fresh tier has no stable row id, so the server rejects
+`with_row_id` before it plans. When that happens the legs are joined on a
+surrogate `_rowid` built from the table's primary key instead.
+
+This is a stopgap until MemWAL supports `_rowid`, and everything it needs lives
+here so it can be removed in one pass:
+
+1. Delete this file and `tests/test_wal_hybrid.py`.
+2. Run `grep -rn WAL-PK-FUSION python/ rust/` and follow the note at each
+   marker; the Rust side has its own copy in

-    `FTS` is a full-text search index that can be used on `String` columns
+    `FTS` supports string columns, lists of strings, and JSON columns created
+    from PyArrow ``pa.json_()``. JSON columns use Lance's JSON-aware tokenizer
+    and are stored as ``LargeBinary`` with the ``lance.json`` logical type.
+    Arbitrary binary columns are not supported.
 
-    For example, it works with `title`, `description`, `content`, etc.
+    JSON queries use ``path,str,value`` triples. Paths are relative to the JSON
+    column and use dots for nested object keys. For example,
+    ``meta.tag,str,nature`` matches the string value at ``$.meta.tag``;
+    it does not search other paths or JSON key names. The value is processed
+    with the configured text tokenizer. Use ``str``, not ``string``.
+
+    Create and query a JSON index through the modern API::
+
+        import pyarrow as pa
+        from lancedb.index import FTS
+
+        table = db.create_table(
+            "documents",

+        table.search(
+            "meta.tag,str,nature", query_type="fts", fts_columns="doc"
+        ).to_list()
+
+    Create the index on the JSON column itself, not a JSON subpath such as
+    ``doc.meta.tag``. JSON-path scalar indexes do not provide FTS path scoping.
+    Plain text such as ``nature`` is not a valid JSON FTS query. The current
+    Lance tokenizer can panic on malformed triples; see
+    https://github.com/lance-format/lance/issues/8812.
+
+    Remote tables use the same ``FTS()`` configuration and require a server
+    that supports JSON FTS. Wait for ``table.wait_for_index(["doc_idx"])``
+    before searching a newly created remote index with its default name.

+    Reranks the results using the TypeSafe System One API.
+    https://docs.typesafe.ai/cookbooks/rerank_typesafe
+
+    Each result is scored independently: TypeSafe reads the query together with
+    the result's ``column`` value and answers a yes/no ("noul") question about
+    whether the document is relevant. The probability of "yes", between 0 and 1,
+    becomes the ``_relevance_score``. Because every score is an absolute
+    probability rather than a position in the list, scores are comparable
+    across queries and can be thresholded. They are model estimates, though,
+    and can vary slightly between identical calls, so results with close scores
+    may swap places when the same search is repeated.
+
+    By default, one request is sent per non-null result. Set ``batch_size=40``
+    to score up to 40 documents per request, with at most ``max_concurrency``
+    requests in flight. Each question sees only its own document and the shared
+    query. Null documents keep a score of zero without an API request; empty
+    strings are scored normally. API and response-validation errors propagate.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    model_name : str, default "jev-latest"
+        The TypeSafe model to use.
+    column : str, default "text"
+        The name of the column holding the document text to score.
+    instructions : str, optional
+        The yes/no question asked about each query and document pair. The state
+        TypeSafe reads with ``batch_size=1`` is
+        ``{"query": <query>, "document": <column value>}``.
+        Defaults to a generic relevance question. See ``batch_size`` for the
+        different location of the document in batched requests.
+    criteria : Mapping[str, str], optional
+        What a "yes" and a "no" mean, as a mapping with the keys ``"true"`` and
+        ``"false"``. Domain-specific criteria usually rank better than the
+        generic default. Pass an empty mapping to send no criteria.
+    return_score : str, default "relevance"
+        Options are "relevance" or "all". If "all", keeps the vector and FTS
+        scores alongside the relevance score.
+    api_key : str, optional
+        The API key to use. If None, the TypeSafe SDK reads the
+        ``TYPESAFE_API_KEY`` environment variable.
+    max_concurrency : int, default 8
+        The maximum number of TypeSafe requests in flight for one rerank call.
+    batch_size : int, default 1
+        Positive integer limiting non-null documents per request. The default
+        preserves the original request format. With a value greater than one,
+        state is ``{"query": <query>}`` and each question's instructions are
+        ``{"question": <instructions>, "document": <column value>}``.
+        Instructions and criteria are preserved verbatim. Custom prompts that
+        explicitly reference the document in request state (for example,
+        ``state.document``) must be adapted before opting into batching.
+        The TypeSafe SDK handles retries in both modes.

+//! `future_into_py` call hangs forever. Normal (non-fork) process exit has
+//! its own gap: nothing tells the runtime to shut down, so its worker
+//! threads keep running, uncoordinated with the interpreter, right up until
+//! the process ends. If one of them is mid-task exactly as `Py_Finalize`
+//! starts tearing down interpreter state, it can panic on state that's
+//! already gone -- and since that happens on a background thread with no
+//! PyO3-wrapped call frame to catch it, Rust aborts the whole process
+//! rather than failing that one call. [`shutdown`], registered as a Python
+//! `atexit` callback, closes that gap by giving the runtime a coordinated,
+//! bounded exit while the interpreter is still fully valid.
 //!
-//! We sidestep the global by routing every future through our own
-//! [`LanceRuntime`] (a [`pyo3_async_runtimes::generic::Runtime`] impl) backed
-//! by an [`AtomicPtr`] to a tokio runtime that we own.  A `pthread_atfork`
-//! child handler nulls the pointer; the next `spawn` rebuilds the runtime in
-//! the child.  This mirrors the pattern used in the Lance Python bindings.
+//! Getting both of these right at once took a few tries; the design here
+//! rests on three separate mechanisms, each solving one problem the others
+//! cannot:
+//!
+//! **`OUTSTANDING`, not `Arc::strong_count`, decides when the runtime is
+//! idle.** Early versions tried to infer "is anything still using this
+//! runtime" from how many `Arc<Runtime>` clones existed. That signal is
+//! wrong in both directions: a clone taken only for the instant a task is
+//! *submitted* says nothing about whether that task has actually finished
+//! running (`Runtime::shutdown_timeout` gives spawned, non-blocking tasks
+//! no grace period at all -- a task "keeps running until it yields, then is
+//! dropped" -- so a reclaim landing right after submission would silently
+//! abandon it before it ever got to run); and a clone held for a task's
+//! *whole* lifetime can end up making that task the final owner of the
+//! `Runtime`, so completing it drops the `Runtime` from inside one of its
+//! own worker threads, which tokio itself forbids ("cannot drop a runtime
+//! in a context where blocking is not allowed") and panics. `OUTSTANDING`
+//! is an explicit courtesy counter instead: every top-level `spawn`,
+//! `spawn_blocking`, or `block_on` call increments it before it starts and
+//! decrements it (via [`OutstandingGuard`]) when it is truly done, entirely
+//! decoupled from how many `Arc` clones exist at any instant. `shutdown`
+//! waits for it to reach zero before ever touching the runtime, which also
+//! closes a narrower race: because the counter is incremented *before*
+//! `get_runtime()` is even called, an install already in progress when
+//! `shutdown` runs is never invisible to it the way an empty slot would be.
+//! If the counter never reaches zero within the bound, `shutdown` stops
+//! waiting and forces the retirement attempt anyway -- silently returning
+//! with the runtime and its workers still fully alive would just recreate
+//! the exact race this function exists to close, for any call slower than
+//! the grace period.
+//!
+//! **Tasks never hold an `Arc<Runtime>`.** Because `OUTSTANDING` (not
+//! reference counting) is what `shutdown` waits on, a top-level task only
+//! needs to carry an `OutstandingGuard` -- a token whose `Drop` is a plain
+//! atomic decrement -- not a clone of the runtime itself. That is what
+//! makes it impossible for a task's completion to become the final,
+//! worker-thread-side drop of the `Runtime`: nothing a task holds ever
+//! *is* the `Runtime`.
+//!
+//! **`atfork_child` touches nothing but a plain counter.** `future_into_py`
+//! spawns a task that, once running, spawns a second one to do the real
+//! work and awaits its `JoinHandle`; if a nested call re-resolved "the
+//! current runtime" independently, a reclaim landing between the two calls
+//! could bind them to different instances. `spawn`/`spawn_blocking` close
+//! that with `Handle::try_current`: a call already running on one of our
+//! worker threads stays pinned to that instance, so only the first,
+//! outermost call of a chain ever consults [`get_runtime`]. That leaves
+//! fork as the other place identity can change, and it has to be handled
+//! without ever calling into `ArcSwapOption` from the child handler itself
+//! -- `swap`/`compare_and_swap` reconcile reader "debts" internally (via
+//! thread-local state, and potentially an allocation), none of which is
+//! safe to run in a forked child that may have inherited another thread's
+//! lock mid-acquisition. `atfork_child` therefore does nothing but bump a
+//! bare `GENERATION` counter; [`get_runtime`] compares the generation its
+//! installed runtime was built in against the live counter on every call,
+//! from ordinary (non-signal) context, and treats a mismatch as "stale,
+//! rebuild" -- exactly the check `atfork_child` used to perform directly.
