Update the Rust workspace Lance dependencies, Cargo lockfile, and Java
lance-core to
[v12.0.0-beta.18](https://github.com/lance-format/lance/releases/tag/v12.0.0-beta.18).
Fix redundant visibility declarations in the Node.js Rust blob helpers
required by the workspace Clippy check.
Validated with workspace Clippy (all features and tests, warnings
denied), cargo fmt, pnpm build, and 13 targeted Node.js blob tests.
this PR blob v2 field helpers and reads to the Node SDK.
`blob()` marks a field as blob v2 and lets you set the storage
thresholds. Inputs can be bytes, a URI, or a data/uri struct.
Queries return descriptors. `fetchBlobs()` reads the bytes by row ID,
and `fetchBlobFiles()` gives you lazy handles for full or range reads.
`blobColumns()` lists the blob fields, including nested ones.
Fetch uses the table’s current checkout. It preserves order, duplicates,
and nulls. Holding row IDs across compaction still requires stable row
IDs.
```javascript
const db = await connect("./data");
const video = await readFile("clip.mp4");
const table = await db.createTable(
"videos",
[{ id: 1n, video }],
{
schema: new Schema([
new Field("id", new Int64()),
blob("video"),
]),
},
);
const rows = await table.query().select(["id"]).withRowId().toArray();
const rowIds = rows.map((row) => row._rowid as bigint);
const bytes = await table.fetchBlobs("video", rowIds);
const [handle] = await table.fetchBlobFiles("video", rowIds);
const header = await handle!.readRange(0n, 65536n);
```
### Testing
- cover input validation, thresholds, nested fields, fetch ordering,
nulls, and range reads.
