docs: add storage integration SDK examples, abstract RTE write, simplify cache pages (#4865)
## Summary - **Define Storage Integration**: un-gates the Python (and Rust, for S3) `create_storage_integration` examples, drafted against #4618 and held back until it shipped -- it's now in v0.42.0-beta.0+, and the signature matches the drafts exactly. - **Naming rules**: drops the `Branch` row and its "Learn more" link, consistent with de-emphasizing branches elsewhere in this nav. - **Distributed RTE Write**: removes the REST path, the `__lance_mem_wal` index name, and "WAL node" terminology in favor of an abstract framing -- a query node routes writes to RTE nodes, each of which can host shards from many different tables. Both diagram variants are updated to match. - **Data Page Cache / Tiered Index Cache / Cache Prewarm**: drop Helm-specific and exact-percentage detail (disk-budget math, `startup_prewarm_block_query_ready`/`healthPort`/failure-policy table) in favor of a short feature → architecture → why-it-matters shape, each closing with a contact-sales pointer. Data Page Cache's on-demand prewarm section is removed outright. ## Note I wasn't able to get a clean visual render of the updated Distributed RTE Write diagram in local preview -- Mermaid isn't rendering in headless Chrome in this environment for *any* page right now, confirmed against an unmodified reference page showing the identical symptom. The diagram source follows the exact pattern already shipped and working in the 21 diagrams from the earlier brand-theming pass, and `mint validate`/`mint broken-links` both pass clean. --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

docs: overhaul curation, feature engineering, security and deployment guides (#4748)
A broad documentation pass across the areas LanceDB Enterprise and Embedded diverge on most: **Data Curation** -- GPU Function execution, Slurm scheduling (and what Slurm is, for readers new to it), blob late materialization as its own page, joins, aggregation/profiling, sampling, near-duplicate detection, chunking, distributed shuffle, and IVF-partition clustering. **Feature Engineering** -- computed columns and materialized views, restructured to lead with the Function-based path and show the SQL form side by side with Python throughout; a single Auto Refresh page instead of duplicating scheduling details on every refresh page; adaptive execution; checkpointing; GPU and Slurm placement for refresh workers; a Training Cache page for the PyTorch data loader's automatic cache benefit. **Security & Governance** -- an Audit Log reference (schema, access, grants), Secrets promoted to an ordinary catalog object with their own SQL DDL and a vending/rotation guide, and privilege-table fixes verified against the authorization source. **Deployment & Maintenance** -- Horizontal Scaling and OpenTelemetry moved into a real Deployment area; Automated Cleanup folded into Intelligent Auto-Maintenance (every other maintenance decision already lived there); RTE Compaction and Advanced Conflict Resolution documented in depth. **Landing page** -- the Enterprise feature comparison table reorganized (several redundant or stale rows removed, several new areas added), and the "why Enterprise" bullets replaced with ones tied to a concrete page (Performance, Scale, Fault tolerance, Multicloud deployment, Simplify operations) instead of vague promises. Plus a full pass addressing lancedb-gatekeeper's review: a real test-safety bug (a quickstart test could silently overwrite and delete a deployment's own `frames` table), a fabricated SQL statement with no backing implementation, an actual dedup-guarantee bug in `take_row_ids`, and dozens of documentation-accuracy fixes verified against source rather than taken on faith -- each either fixed, or left with an explicit note on why it needs a feature or deployment owner's sign-off instead of being guessed at. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) https://claude.ai/code/session_018PXMCbRH6i5w47TsjeEUMT --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

docs: use Enterprise terminology across website and SDK documentation (#4787)
Use “LanceDB Enterprise” throughout the staged website guides, SDK reference sources, generated API pages, and user-facing SDK messages. A separate branded “LanceDB Distributed” name adds terminology without clarifying behavior; describe where operations run directly. - Update `docs/web`, including the architecture diagram title and alt text. Use Enterprise in headings, table labels, and prose; simplify redundant product/execution-model wording and name the product only once in the diagram alt text. - Update Python docstrings and the Python/Java reference pages, TypeScript comments and native declaration comments, and Rust API documentation. Regenerate the TypeScript reference, including 24 replacements across six pages. - Update SDK warnings/errors and existing test expectations to match, along with contributor guidance and Vale rules. Remove the obsolete rule distinguishing Enterprise from Distributed. - Keep lowercase “distributed” for technical descriptions. API identifiers, anchors, asset paths, and execution behavior are unchanged. No branded-name exceptions are proposed. Validation: - Python and Node native builds succeeded; focused Python tests passed (36 passed, 4 skipped), and focused Node tests passed (14). - TypeDoc generation and the complete MkDocs reference build passed. MkDocs retains an existing unresolved `lancedb.functions.SecretReference` cross-reference. - Rust formatting, Node lint/format, changed-file Python lint/format, 32 Vale tests, and whitespace checks passed. Repository-wide Python lint has 48 existing findings in six untouched files. - Combined documentation assembly passed. Mintlify validation and link/anchor/redirect checks previously passed for both site builds; no code snippets changed. Companion PRs: [saved editions, terminology guide, and shared rules](https://github.com/lancedb/docs/pull/413), [Enterprise overview and writing rules](https://github.com/lancedb/sophon/pull/9511). --------- Co-authored-by: Brendan Clement <brendan.clement@lancedb.com> |

docs: complete SQL reference, enrich Functions drafts, rename OSS to Embedded (#4732)
## Summary - Complete the SQL reference: `ATTACH DATABASE`, the `CHANGES` clause, and `dedupe()`/`duplicate_pairs()` (verified against current sophon source; these were recently renamed from `vector_dedup`/`vector_duplicate_pairs`). Fix the blob-column default-projection claim and add the previously undocumented `blob_descriptor()`. - Enrich the gated Functions draft (still `.mintignore`'d, pre-release): chained Functions over blob outputs, GPU-produced blobs, Secrets, multi-input/output binding, `code=[module]` packaging. - Upgrade the materialized-view and computed-column auto-refresh drafts with precise, verified catch-up semantics, and add the missing `ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW` / `CREATE ... WITH(...)` sections (also gated — the automatic-refresh scheduler is still dev/staging-only). - Thread one running example (video frames → GPU extract/caption → dedup → auto-refreshing materialized view) through Functions, materialized views, and the LeRobotDataset integration guide instead of a separate tutorial. - Rename "LanceDB OSS"/"OSS" to "LanceDB Embedded"/"Embedded" throughout (52 files); activate the existing availability-comparison mechanism on `basics/offerings.mdx` for a full feature-by-feature comparison table. |

docs: adopt Embedded/Distributed terminology across docs and SDKs (#4713)
## Summary Adopts the product terminology guide across the docs site pages, SDK docstrings and error messages. "LanceDB OSS" and local mode become **LanceDB Embedded**. "Remote" as the execution model becomes **LanceDB Distributed**, which LanceDB Enterprise provides. Where free vs paid is the point, pages contrast "LanceDB Embedded (open source)" with "LanceDB Enterprise". This is a first trial of the Embedded name, so reviewers can judge it in context. - **Embedded vs Distributed** for where execution runs (`optimize()`, consistency, branching, maintenance). Main pages define it once: "LanceDB Enterprise runs LanceDB Distributed: …" - **LanceDB Cloud** is kept only for legacy-Cloud specifics (`db://` region, the brute-force KNN limit) and marked legacy. "Cloud and Enterprise" becomes Enterprise or Distributed. - **Plan executor** becomes "executor" or the fleet name. - **Error messages** change, e.g. `optimize is not supported for remote tables.` → `... in LanceDB Distributed.` Tests that match on them are updated. - **Vale rules** (`EmbeddedName`, `OSSProduct`, `RemoteExecution`, `DistributedEnterprise`, `LegacyCloud`, `InternalNames`) enforce the terms in prose. Unchanged: identifiers (`availability.oss`, the `remote` module and feature, `RemoteTable`, `db://`), heading anchors, internal code comments, and Geneva. ## Evidence - Rust lib tests for the changed messages and the Python tests in `test_remote_db.py`, `test_materialized_views.py` and `test_table.py` pass locally. - Not run locally: - The Node tests: `remote.test.ts` and `table.test.ts` have updated assertions. - Vale. - The `experimental_functions`-marked materialized-view tests. - `docs/src` API reference was hand-edited to match the docstrings rather than regenerated. ## Merge Risk **Door:** two-way; prose and message text only. **Blast Radius:** `docs`, `error-messages`: callers matching on old error strings would break. Companion PRs: lancedb/docs (assembler labels, STYLE.md) and sophon (Enterprise pages). 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

docs: add realtime engine (RTE) getting-started guide (#4548)
Adds a user-facing realtime engine (RTE) page at `docs/web/tables/realtime-engine.mdx`, listed under **Management** after Branches. It is adapted from the internal WAL field guide (lancedb/sophon#6213), with the deployment and operations material left out. The page covers: - what RTE is and how it works (memtable → SSTables → compaction; reads merge the base table with the fresh tier) - getting started: `set_unenforced_primary_key`, indexes, `enable_rte` / `ALTER TABLE ... SET RTE`, `merge_insert` upserts and queries, partial updates, deletes, and `checkpoint_rte` / `disable_rte` - performance: write throughput and shard scaling, and read latency with and without RTE - a note on operations not yet supported (time travel, branching, `count_rows`, row IDs, `TABLESAMPLE`) Also aligns related docs with current RTE naming and behavior: - `sql/ddl/table.mdx`: `SET MEMWAL` / `UNSET MEMWAL` → `SET RTE` / `UNSET RTE` - `maintenance/background-jobs.mdx`: job names are `memwal_compaction` and `memwal_catchup_<type>` - `feature-engineering/materialized-views.mdx`: MemWAL → realtime engine - Python `AsyncTable.enable_rte` / `RTEWriteSpec.with_maintained_indexes` docstrings: by default, indexes created after enabling RTE are maintained too The examples are written directly in the page rather than generated from `docs/web-tests`, because RTE needs an Enterprise server to run. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: XY Zhan <zhaner08@hotmail.com> |

docs: clean up prose flagged by the shared Vale rules (#4596)
The existing docs have 254 findings from our shared Vale rules. Contributors would otherwise inherit these when editing the same lines. Clean up the prose across 80 pages: correct product names and a repeated word, simplify a few phrases, and replace dashes with punctuation that fits each sentence. The pinned Vale scan now reports zero findings, with no suppressions. |

docs: correct data workflows, SQL and operations (#4534)
This PR is part of the documentation revamp. Once the full set of PRs is merged, we’ll publish the combined site to staging for review before updating docs.lancedb.com. The curation, SQL and operations pages contain outdated claims and examples that do not reliably work as written. This corrects those pages against the reviewed SDK and local server evidence, including prepared statements, background jobs, cleanup and monitoring. Integration guides are grouped with their examples in #4533. Function and Secret-object documentation stays unpublished until its release. The two Function pages are listed in `.mintignore` and left out of the navigation, and the sections about them on other pages are MDX comments. Stacked on #4533. Each MDX file has one PR owner. Rebase onto main after #4533 is squash-merged. Local assembly, Mint validation and link checks pass, and the assembled site shows no Function or Secret-object content. A local release rehearsal that uncomments the drafts and restores the navigation also passes. Hold publication until this PR and lancedb/sophon#8688 are on `main`. |

docs: revise getting started and concepts (#4491)
This PR is part of the documentation revamp. Once the full set of PRs is merged, we’ll publish the combined site to staging for review before updating docs.lancedb.com. The introductory pages are inconsistent, and the old PR split asked reviewers to review some pages twice. This brings the final quickstart, connection guide, architecture and Concepts pages together. It clarifies OSS and Enterprise, simplifies naming rules and includes the navigation and diagram fixes from #4489. Function and Secret details on the Concepts pages are MDX comments until their release, and CONTRIBUTING.md explains how to write docs before a release. Includes #4532. Ingestion, search and integrations are in #4533; data workflows, SQL and operations are in #4534. Each MDX file has one PR owner. Local assembly, Mint validation and link checks pass. The Function pages stay published from `main` until #4534 hides them, so hold publication until the complete stack is integrated. |

docs: bring the open-source documentation into this repository (#4122)
Move the public website pages into `docs/web` beside the SDK, with
shared navigation and executable example sources in `docs/web-tests`.
The combined website is assembled by
[lancedb/docs#355](https://github.com/lancedb/docs/pull/355), with six
Enterprise replacements from
[lancedb/sophon#7681](https://github.com/lancedb/sophon/pull/7681).
This includes Function guidance, runnable Quickstarts, regenerated
snippets, production contact/demo fixes, the legacy SQL route, and the
LeRobot redirect. LeRobot remains attributed to Geneva; all 34 Geneva
pages remain in the docs repository until Function officially launches.
Materialized-view guidance follows the full rebuild refresh introduced
by #4373: local refresh writes the complete result, has no `full`
argument, supports `source_version`, and no longer requires stable row
IDs. Deployment SQL refresh options and stable-ID setup are qualified by
version/configuration. Function input guidance distinguishes ordinary
stored columns from computed inputs supported by newer deployments.
**Validation:** independently accepted local checks include 95 Python
tests (real Enterprise excluded), eight TypeScript tests, Rust
Quickstart, snippet parity, typos, deterministic assembly, Mint
validation and links/anchors/redirects. The combined baseline retains
all 181 production routes and 17 legacy redirects. Examples ran locally
against source-built Python SDK 0.40.0b13; existing GitHub workflows do
not run `docs/web-tests`. New main at `069b2f7d` is 0.41.0b0 and adds
computed Function inputs; that SDK was not exercised by the accepted
tests. Latest prose corrections receive focused site validation.
**Merge/rollout:** merge this and #7681 before #355's combined CI, which
reads producer `main`. This is migration infrastructure: section
overlays, source-owned skills and automatic versioned paired releases
remain follow-ups. The current manual publisher is transitional. Hosted
validation, a supported SDK/Enterprise release pair and a real
Enterprise walkthrough remain pending.
Production Mintlify watches `lancedb/docs:deploy-freeze`, directory
`docs`; preserve that source through review. The separate SDK GitHub
Pages reference workflow rebuilds on main merges.
