Feature engineering is now the overview plus one page per operation: add a
computed column, refresh a column, refresh a materialized view. Computed
columns covered declaring and filling on one page, which are separate decisions
with separate failure modes.
Functions move to Management, where the other catalog objects are, and absorb
the environment-mismatch guidance from the Enterprise page -- a symptom table
worth having beside the parameters that cause it.
The Enterprise feature-engineering page is merged into the overview. Two of its
claims were stale: create_materialized_view is implemented for db:// connections
in remote/db.py, so views are not local-only, and the tier is Enterprise rather
than 'Cloud and Enterprise'.
The REST reference leaves the sidebar. Mintlify only generates per-endpoint
pages from a navigation group -- hidden, dropdowns, global anchors and a
top-level openapi key were all tried -- so removing the group removes those
pages. The overview survives as an unlisted page, linked from SDKs & SQL, and
the spec still ships for anything that wants to read it directly.
Basics now reads outward from the format: Lance Format, Lakehouse & Catalog,
Query & Job, SDKs & SQL, Agentic Skills.
Jobs becomes Query & Job. Async means two unrelated things here -- whether your
thread blocks, and whether the work outlives the call -- and nothing said so.
The API Reference tab is gone. Its SDK index is folded into SDKs & SQL, where
the surfaces are already compared; the generated REST pages move into Basics
beside it.
Connecting was described in passing on the catalog page. It is now a Management
page covering the URI forms and what each changes, deployment options, storage
options, and read consistency, since which one you pass decides what exists.
Quickstart ran out at multimodal storage. It now continues through a computed
column and its refresh into a PyTorch loader, which is the arc the rest of the
docs assume.
