feat(python): materialize remote blobs at the query snapshot (#4973)
Python remote queries materialize Blob v2 payloads with `blob_mode="bytes"` through synchronous and asynchronous `to_arrow`, `to_list`, `to_pandas`, and `to_batches`. Deferred reads bind to the actual producing dataset without changing the caller's live table handle, including concurrent writes and same-name DROP/CREATE. Trust only the authoritative `x-lancedb-query-version` plus `x-lancedb-query-snapshot`. A numeric version alone cannot distinguish a recreated table; the ordinary live watermark and user-supplied Arrow metadata cannot establish provenance. An independent immutable handle carries the original identity through every batch, byte-limit split, and large-Blob Range fallback, and requires a verified response echo before accepting payloads. Aliases, NULL/empty results, rerankers, and hybrid legs retain consistent provenance. Missing capability, mixed identities, or a serving node ignoring the precondition fails explicitly; ordinary descriptor queries remain available on older servers. The source docs distinguish Enterprise SQL payload bytes from SDK descriptors. Server dependency: https://github.com/lancedb/sophon/pull/10211. Validation uses retained, independently audited local evidence: 724 Python cases passed (one optional PyAV skip), 67 focused SDK Rust cases passed, 36 server checks passed, and 15 actual REST/SDK scenarios passed across retained runs. These cover sync/async and Arrow file/stream recreation, concurrent overwrite, deletion of a selected version, legacy capabilities, forged IPC metadata, WAL exclusion, and actual mid-batch recreation. The original aggregate experiment exited 101 because its extra harness assumed a Python batch size would split the native result; its 36 server checks and 13 completed scenarios remain valid. The corrected native-batch experiment passed separately for sync and async. No aggregate all-green claim is made. The public batched-range operation has separate cross-partition identity integration in https://github.com/lancedb/sophon/pull/10219 and https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/pull/4994. This change does not claim to fix that loop. Realtime/MemWAL remains outside Blob v2 GA, without disabling existing writes or compaction. No dependency pins changed. Merge/rollout hold remains: upgrade every serving node before enabling the new SDK capability, verify proxy forwarding of both authoritative headers and the verification echo, and preserve queried versions for later reads. Missing or inconsistent capability fails explicitly; identity does not retain versions or authenticate storage paths. Actual deployed proxy/Cloud/PE behavior and production retention remain unverified. Old SDKs do not gain incarnation protection from a server-only upgrade. Published documentation retains the Early access badge and released Enterprise instructions, including explicit fetches for copying. The new Enterprise `blob_mode="bytes"` guidance, snapshot-bound copy example, future streaming restrictions and GA wording remain source-only MDX drafts until release. The correction distinguishing released Enterprise SQL bytes from SDK descriptors remains visible. Documentation validation checked comment boundaries, visible instructions, Python example syntax and whitespace; the site was not built. This documentation-only revision reuses the implementation evidence above. |

docs: label early access features and hide ones not ready to document (#4855)
Labels early access features and hides features we aren't documenting yet. **Early access label:** Functions (4 pages, plus the GPU refresh, checkpointing and adaptive execution pages), Secrets (3 pages), Tiered Index Cache, Blob V2, and merge insert, which is labelled for Enterprise only. Two sidebar titles are shorter so the tag fits. **Hidden:** branching, JSON columns and geospatial. - The JSON functions page and the agent branch-experiments tutorial go in `.mintignore`. - `tables/branching` stays reachable but out of the nav, as #4859 left it, because SDK error messages link to it. - Other pages' mentions of these features become draft comments, so they're easy to restore. **Secrets page:** drops references to manual KMS setup, which the control plane handles. It keeps the encryption-at-rest facts, states the Azure value-size limit inline, and points a 501 error to support. |

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: fix table, accuracy and structure problems found in the pre-launch review (#4745)
## Summary Fixes the problems a page-by-page review of the docs found before launch, after checking each one against the current source and, where noted, the code. The matching fixes for the dataset and Geneva pages, which live in `lancedb/docs`, are in lancedb/docs#402. **Tables** - `integrations/embedding/cohere`: each input-type description was split across two table rows and wrapped in literal quotes (`"`search_document`"`). Now one row per type. - `integrations/embedding/gemini`: removes the same stray quotes from the task-type table. - `integrations/ai/langchain`: the MMR search table's `kwargs` row was missing a cell, so its description sat under Type. - Six reranker pages (answerdotai, cohere, colbert, jina, openai, voyageai): closes the backtick before `_relevance_score`. - `indexing/vector-index`: finishes a cell cut off at "with scalar". - `sql/dql/dedupe`: labels the empty header cell in the resolution table. **Corrections** - `curation/sampling`: sampling works in LanceDB Embedded through the Python SDK, so the page is available in both, with the SQL sections marked Enterprise. - `feature-engineering/index`, `add-computed-column`: automatic refresh is on by default for each computed column and takes effect once a deployment enables its scheduler. `refresh-column` already said so; these two implied it was off. - `indexing/scalar-index`, `indexing/index`: `LABEL_LIST` accelerates `array_has_all`/`array_has_any`; `array_contains_*` doesn't exist. Also merges scalar-index's two "nested fields" sections into one. - `integrations/embedding/ibm`: lists the four current models from `CURRENT_MODELS` (it listed a deprecated one) and explains that the default stays a legacy ID so existing tables reload with their model. - `integrations/reranking/openai`: the class is `OpenaiReranker`, not `OpenAI()`. - `integrations/ai/synthetic-data-kit`: the CLI is `synthetic-data-kit` throughout, each step runs one command, each step passes the file it writes to the next, and `save-as` uses `-f`/`-o`. - `integrations/data/dlt`: `secrets.toml` defines `api_token`, which the pipeline reads, and the run command runs the file the page creates. - `search/vector-search`: the multivector walkthrough connected to Enterprise in step 1 and a local path in step 2. It now runs locally throughout, with a note on connecting to Enterprise, and is renamed so it doesn't read as a duplicate of the short section above. **Structure and wording** - `integrations/embedding/nvidia`: adds headings, and drops test-suite details aimed at contributors. - `integrations/ai/genkit`: makes the retrieval test a real heading and describes the query step. - `integrations/data/voxel51`: replaces a raw MkDocs `!!! note` with a `<Note>`. - `sql/ddl/table`, `sql/ddl/job`: "Errors and limits" is a real heading, not bold text. - `curation/windowing`: sidebar title matches the curation overview ("Rank and Deduplicate"). - `deployment/storage`, `basics/agentic-skills`: fixes a garbled sentence and a stale reference to the quickstart. **Checked:** no new Vale alerts on the changed pages. Assembled together with lancedb/docs#402, the site passes `mint validate` and `mint broken-links --check-anchors --check-redirects`. Every changed page was reviewed in a local preview. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.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: 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: 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.
