## Summary
- pass the TypeScript `cleanupOlderThan` date to the native binding as
an unchanged epoch timestamp
- prune with Lance's absolute `before_timestamp` policy so dispatch and
compaction time cannot move the cutoff
- retain versions created after the supplied cutoff and document that
behavior
- add boundary and end-to-end regression coverage
## Root cause
The TypeScript layer converted the absolute date into an elapsed
duration before calling native optimize. Lance converted that duration
back into a timestamp only after compaction, which silently advanced the
requested cutoff and made the cleanup count depend on a millisecond
timing boundary.
## Validation
- `cargo fmt --all`
- `cargo clippy --quiet --features remote --tests --examples -p lancedb
-p lancedb-nodejs`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm lint`
- `pnpm run docs`
- `pnpm test __test__/table.test.ts --runInBand` (309 passed)

* Move away from buildjet, which is shutting down runners for GHA [^1]
* Add `Cargo.lock` to build jobs, so when we upgrade locked dependencies
we check the builds actually pass. CI started failing because
dependencies were changed in #3116 without running all build jobs.
* Add fixes for aws-lc-rs build in NodeJS.

* Sets `"useCodeBlocks": true`
* Adds a post-processing script `nodejs/typedoc_post_process.js` that
puts the parameter description on the same line as the parameter name,
like it is in our Python docs. This makes the text hierarchy clearer in
those sections and also makes the sections shorter.
