Exposes materialized views to TypeScript: createMaterializedView,
openMaterializedView and listMaterializedViews on Connection, and a
MaterializedView handle carrying the parsed definition and
refresh({full, sourceVersion}), which returns the typed refresh result.
select accepts column names, [alias, expression] pairs, or a record of the
same; the definition reads back off the stored schema, so a reopened handle
needs no side channel. Remote connections surface the core's not-supported
error up front.
The napi crate needed the same recursion-limit raise as the core crate: the
refresh future's type graph overflows the default trait-recursion depth.
## Summary
- add a public Node API regression test for JSON server errors from
remote table operations
- verify countRows reports the server message instead of an ArrayBuffer
decoding TypeError
## Root cause and fix
The former TypeScript remote HTTP client passed an Axios-decoded JSON
error object to TextDecoder, which masked the server response with an
ArrayBuffer TypeError. The current Rust-backed remote client consumes
non-success response bodies as text and propagates them through the Node
error chain. This test exercises that corrected path through countRows
and prevents the original failure from regressing.

Adds job operations to the connection surface, building on the Job
handle from #3742: job(id), list_jobs, get_job, cancel_job, and
job_history, plus a non-blocking Job.status(). Implemented on the
Database trait (defaulting to NotSupported), the remote backend
(/v1/jobs), and the Python and Node bindings; job_history returns Arrow
batches.
errors() and progress() are not included.
Tested with mocked endpoints in all three languages.

## 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

## What changed
- add `block_size` to Python FTS configuration and the deprecated
local/remote helpers
- add `blockSize` to the TypeScript FTS options and propagate it through
the NAPI binding
- serialize the value as `block_size` for remote index creation
- document the existing Rust builder API and generate the TypeScript API
reference
- add local, remote, metadata, search, and invalid-value regression
coverage
## Why
Lance supports configuring the number of documents per compressed FTS
posting block, but LanceDB's Python and TypeScript APIs did not expose
the setting. This made the experimental FTS V3 layout unavailable
through those clients and allowed the value to be dropped before index
creation.
## How it works
The default remains `128`. Supported values are `128` and `256`;
selecting `256` uses the experimental FTS V3 format. Invalid values are
rejected by the Lance builder and surfaced as Python or JavaScript
errors.
## Validation
- `cargo check --quiet --features remote --tests --examples`
- `cargo +1.94.0 clippy --quiet --features remote --tests --examples --
-D warnings`
- targeted Rust local and remote index tests
- Rust doctests: 34 passed
- Python Ruff checks, doctest, and targeted local/remote tests: 5 passed
- TypeScript build, Biome lint, generated docs, and targeted Jest tests:
9 passed
- `git diff --check`
## Limitations
The Java client remains unchanged because its external remote REST model
does not currently expose `block_size`.

This PR adds some support for `diff` / `merge` in the remote client as
for local tables we stay `NotSupported` until
https://github.com/lance-format/lance/issues/7263.
This wires the two review-and-land calls against the remote REST API:
- `POST /v1/table/{id}/branches/diff`
- `POST /v1/table/{id}/branches/merge`
Rust gets typed results (`BranchDiff`, `MergeBranchResult`). Python
returns the wire JSON, same shape as the REST response.
Merge here means promoting a branch's added columns onto `main`.
### Behavior
- Remote only. Local raises `NotSupported`.
- A rejected merge is not an exception. HTTP 409 still returns `Ok` / a
dict with `status="rejected"` and blockers in `diff.mergeBlockers`.
- Unknown blocker / status codes parse as `Unknown` so a newer server
does not break older clients.
- `MergePreview` tolerates missing fields for the same reason.
- Merge requests are not retried. 409 is final and carries the body you
need.
### Example
```python
table = db.open_table("images")
table.branches.create("exp")
exp = table.branches.checkout("exp")
exp.add_columns({"tag": "cast('draft' as string)"})
diff = table.branches.diff("exp")
preview = table.branches.merge("exp", dry_run=True)
result = table.branches.merge("exp", dry_run=False)
if result["status"] == "merged":
print("landed at", result["mainVersionAfter"])
elif result["status"] == "rejected":
print(result["diff"]["mergeBlockers"])
```

### Description
Adding branch support for RemoteTable by threading a branch selector
onto every operation the data plane accepts it on. Exposes the
currentBranch to nodejs and python through the bindings.
Matching the server handlers, the branch rides as:
- a `?branch=` query parameter for Arrow-body and query-only ops
(insert, merge_insert, multipart_*, version/list, drop_index)
- a `branch` field in the JSON body for everything else (count_rows,
query, update, delete, create_index, column ops, index list/stats,
stats, restore, describe, tags create/update)
A main-branch handle (`branch == None`) produces byte-identical requests
to before: no `branch` field and no `?branch=`
- Handle-per-branch: `create_branch` / `checkout_branch` return a new
handle with fresh caches and reset version/freshness state, mirroring
`NativeTable`.
- `create_branch` maps 409 to already-exists, 400 to invalid, and 404 to
not-found with source context, and sends without retry so the 409 stays
observable.
- `Ref` translation covers version, version-number (relative to the
handle's branch), and tag (resolved via the tags endpoint); `"main"` and
empty normalize to the main branch.
- Python branch handles persist their branch (and pinned version) across
pickle/fork, so a forked or pickled handle reopens on its branch rather
than silently reverting to main.
### Tests
- Rust mock tests per op category (query-param and body mechanisms,
branch CRUD, error paths, backward-compat).
- Python sync branch CRUD, `open_table(branch=)`, and a pickle
round-trip regression test.
### Description
Stacked on #3490. Adds an optional version to branch checkout across the
Rust core and the Python and TypeScript SDKs, so you can open a specific
version on a branch ("version V of branch B"), not just the branch's
latest version
Rust
```rust
// Open version 3 of branch "exp" (a read-only view): check out from an
// existing table, or open it directly from the connection.
let exp_v3 = table.checkout_branch("exp", Some(3)).await?;
let exp_v3 = db.open_table("items").branch("exp").version(3).execute().await?;
// checkout_latest re-attaches to the branch's writable HEAD.
exp_v3.checkout_latest().await?;
// With no branch, a version opens main at that version.
let main_v3 = db.open_table("items").version(3).execute().await?;
```
Python
```python
# Open version 3 of branch "exp" (a read-only view): check out from an
# existing table, or open it directly from the connection.
branch_v3 = await table.branches.checkout("exp", version=3)
branch_v3 = await db.open_table("items", branch="exp", version=3)
# checkout_latest re-attaches to the branch's writable HEAD.
await branch_v3.checkout_latest()
# With no branch, a version opens main at that version.
main_v3 = await db.open_table("items", version=3)
```
TypeScript
```typescript
// Open version 3 of branch "exp" (a read-only view): check out from an
// existing table, or open it directly from the connection.
const branchV3 = await (await table.branches()).checkout("exp", 3);
const opened = await db.openTable("items", undefined, { branch: "exp", version: 3 });
// checkoutLatest re-attaches to the branch's writable HEAD.
await branchV3.checkoutLatest();
// With no branch, a version opens main at that version.
const mainV3 = await db.openTable("items", undefined, { version: 3 });
```
### Testing
- Added unit tests (Rust, Python sync + async, TypeScript):
branch-scoped resolution at a version number shared with `main` and with
another branch, read-only enforcement on a pinned handle,
`checkout_latest` recovery to the branch's HEAD, fork-point reads, and
the nonexistent-version/branch error paths.
- Ran smoke tests against the Python and TypeScript SDKs on local
machine.
## Summary
This PR introduces a `HeaderProvider` which is called for all remote
HTTP calls to get the latest headers to inject. This is useful for
features like adding the latest auth tokens where the header provider
can auto-refresh tokens internally and each request always set the
refreshed token.

Closes#1106
Unfortunately, these need to be set at the connection level. I
investigated whether if we let users provide a callback they could use
`AsyncLocalStorage` to access their context. However, it doesn't seem
like NAPI supports this right now. I filed an issue:
https://github.com/napi-rs/napi-rs/issues/2456
This exposes the `LANCEDB_LOG` environment variable in node, so that
users can now turn on logging.
In addition, fixes a bug where only the top-level error from Rust was
being shown. This PR makes sure the full error chain is included in the
error message. In the future, will improve this so the error chain is
set on the [cause](https://nodejs.org/api/errors.html#errorcause)
property of JS errors https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/issues/1779Fixes#1774
