## 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).

Adds [typos](https://github.com/crate-ci/typos) as a CI check and
pre-commit hook, the same way Lance does it, so misspellings like the
ones fixed in #4146 get caught automatically going forward.
This also fixes the misspellings `typos` found across the repo (Rust,
Python, TypeScript source, comments, and generated docs), and adds a
small `.typos.toml` with `extend-words` entries for terms that are
correct but look like typos: `AKS` (Azure Kubernetes Service), `RabitQ`
(a real quantization algorithm name), `mmaped` (the actual name of a
`candle-core` API we call), and `Writeable` (from Python's
`_typeshed.WriteableBuffer`). Third-party license files are excluded.
Fixes#4147

Remote create-index requests already expose `replace` on the builder,
but the remote client did not consistently forward an explicit
`replace=false` over REST. That meant create-only intent could be lost
before it reached a remote server, even though local builders and Python
APIs can express it. This PR forwards `replace=false` on the existing
`create_index` endpoint and keeps the current default behavior unchanged
for compatibility.
This was accomplished with the following changes:
- Serialize `replace: false` into the existing remote create-index
request body when the builder is configured with `.replace(false)`.
- Forward `replace` through the synchronous Python remote `create_index`
wrapper so `RemoteTable.create_index(..., replace=False)` reaches the
repaired path.
- Continue omitting `replace` for the default path so existing remote
create-index requests keep their current semantics.
- Document `name` and `replace` on the existing OpenAPI create-index
request schema.
- Add coverage that verifies the remote client uses the existing
`/create_index/` route and forwards `replace=false`, including the
synchronous Python unified API.
### Testing
- `cargo fmt --all --check`
- `cargo test -p lancedb --features remote
test_create_index_forwards_replace_false_on_existing_route --locked`
- `uv tool run maturin develop --extras tests,dev,embeddings`
- `uv run --frozen pytest
python/tests/test_remote_db.py::test_remote_create_index_new_api`
- `uv run ruff format --check python/lancedb/remote/table.py
python/tests/test_remote_db.py`
- `cargo build -p lancedb --features remote --locked`
- `cargo clippy -p lancedb --features remote --all-targets --locked --
-D warnings`
## What
Expose custom FTS stop-word lists in the Python and TypeScript public
APIs, including their standalone tokenize helpers and remote index
creation.
This PR supports concrete string lists only. It does not add file or
LanceDB-table stop-word sources.
## Why
Rust already exposes Lance's custom stop-word list option. The Python
and TypeScript APIs did not pass it through, and local index details did
not retain the full tokenizer parameters needed by index-backed
tokenization after reopening a table.
## How
- Add `custom_stop_words` / `customStopWords` to the Python and
TypeScript FTS and tokenize options.
- Preserve `None` / `undefined`, empty lists, and list contents without
normalization.
- Load the persisted FTS segment parameters when returning local index
details.
- Serialize the concrete list in remote create-index requests.
- Keep Python and TypeScript tests thin; behavior, persistence, query
tokenization, and remote JSON coverage live primarily in Rust.
## Validation
- `cargo check --quiet --features remote --tests --examples`
- `cargo clippy --quiet --features remote --tests --examples`
- `cargo test --quiet --features remote --tests`
- Python extension rebuild with `uv` and `maturin`
- Targeted Python tests: 4 passed
- Python `ruff format --check` and `ruff check`
- TypeScript build, typecheck, Biome lint, generated docs, and targeted
tests
