feat(listing): soft-delete root tables via an embedded V1 namespace

Root-table lifecycle in a ListingDatabase now flows through an embedded V1
(manifest-disabled) DirectoryNamespace, so a root drop is a soft-delete rather than
an immediate remove_dir_all:

- drop_table writes a delete marker and leaves the data for a later purge (TTL).
- create_table on a soft-deleted name revives it (clears the marker under the
  namespace's lifecycle lock, then overwrites via the native create path).
- open_table / table_names / list_tables treat soft-deleted tables as absent.
- table listing is now a single O(1) read_dir in the namespace instead of a
  per-table probe here.

A ListingDatabase now holds two embedded namespaces: the existing manifest-backed
`namespace_database` for child namespaces (multi-level table ids), and a new
`root_namespace_database` (V1, manifest-off) that owns root soft-delete/purge/
table_status. `namespace_client()` still returns the manifest namespace so child
namespace ops are unaffected.

Also preserves TableNotFound through LanceNamespaceDatabase::drop_table instead of
flattening it to a generic Runtime error, so dropping a missing table reports the
right error.

Removes the now-dead native drop_tables / commit-handler path and the
object_store/base_path fields it needed.

Depends on lance-format/lance#7541.

+description: Column metadata authoring for LanceDB tables via the REST API. This skill is required for tasks like writing field descriptions, setting tags on columns (field_type, model, project_id, version), classifying columns as embeddings vs labels vs eval metrics, or grouping versioned columns into logical families — because it has the API integration needed to read the schema and persist metadata back. Invoke whenever someone wants to document, annotate, tag, or classify what their table columns ARE. Trigger even without an explicit "LanceDB" mention, as long as the context is column-level documentation or tagging for an ML or vector database table.
+metadata:
+  short-description: Write column descriptions, tags, and logical groupings to a LanceDB table
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+This skill authors column-level metadata for a LanceDB table. It connects to a LanceDB deployment over its REST API, inspects the table schema, generates appropriate metadata, and writes it back.
+
+## Step 0: Establish the connection
+
+Use the `lancedb-connect` skill (invoke it via the Skill tool) to resolve the base URL and auth headers (`x-api-key`, `x-lancedb-database`) for whichever deployment the user is working against — enterprise/self-hosted or a local dev server. Skip it only if the connection details are already established in the conversation.
+
+All examples below use `{base_url}` — substitute the resolved endpoint and include the resolved headers on every request.
+
+## Metadata keys
+
+All metadata uses namespaced keys:
+
+| Key | Purpose | Example value |
+|-----|---------|---------------|
+| `lancedb:description` | Human-readable explanation of what the column contains | `"CLIP ViT-L/14 image embedding, L2-normalized (768-dim)"` |
+| `lancedb:tag:<name>` | Flexible key-value tag; the suffix names the tag category | `lancedb:tag:field_type: "embedding"`, `lancedb:tag:model: "clip"`, `lancedb:tag:project_id: "foo"` |
+| `lancedb:logical-column` | Logical group/family this column belongs to | `"clip_features"` |
+
+Tags are open-ended — use whatever key suffix and value make sense given the user's intent. The tag suffix should describe *what is being classified* (e.g., `field_type`, `model`, `project_id`) and the value describes *how*.
+
+## Step 1: Resolve the table identifier
+
+You need:
+- **Table name** (required) — e.g., `my_table` or `my_namespace.my_table`
+- **Database name** — ask if not provided and not inferable from context; it goes in the `x-lancedb-database` header, never in the URL path
+
+The table identifier in the URL path is typically `table_name` for a top-level table, or `namespace$table_name` if the table lives in a namespace. The API accepts a `delimiter` query parameter to parse compound identifiers (default `$`).
+
+## Step 2: Describe the table
+
+```http
+POST {base_url}/v1/table/{table_id}/describe
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{}
+```
+
+The response contains `schema.fields` — an array of field objects:
+
+```json
+{
+  "schema": {
+    "fields": [
+      {
+        "name": "clip_embedding_v3",
+        "type": { "type": "FixedSizeList", "fields": [...], "listSize": 768 },
+        "nullable": true,
+        "metadata": { "lancedb:description": "..." }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Each field has:
+- `name` — field name
+- `type` — Arrow data type (check `type.type` for the type string)
+- `nullable` — boolean
+- `metadata` — existing key-value metadata (read this before writing to avoid redundant updates)
+
+For struct/nested fields, recurse into `type.fields` and represent them as dot-notation paths (e.g., `parent.child`).
+
+If the user hasn't specified which columns to update, work with all columns.
+
+## Step 3: Generate metadata
+
+Decide what to generate based on the user's request.
+
+### Writing descriptions (`lancedb:description`)
+
+Base descriptions on:
+- The column name and Arrow type (e.g., `FixedSizeList` of floats → likely an embedding)
+- User-supplied context (upstream pipeline, sample values, domain knowledge)
+- Name patterns: `_embedding`/`_vec`/`_embed` → vector; `_label`/`_class` → label; `_score`/`_eval`/`_metric` → evaluation metric
+
+Be specific and concise. Good: `"Sentence-BERT embedding of the query text (768-dim)."` Not: `"An embedding column."`
+
+### Tagging columns (`lancedb:tag:<name>`)
+
+Choose tag key names that match what the user asked to annotate. Common patterns:
+
+- Semantic field type → `lancedb:tag:field_type: "embedding"` / `"text"` / `"image"` / `"label"` / `"eval"` / `"id"` / `"metadata"`
+- Model or source → `lancedb:tag:model: "clip"` / `"bert"` / `"vit"`
+- Project affiliation → `lancedb:tag:project_id: "<name>"`
+- Version → `lancedb:tag:version: "v3"` (and `lancedb:tag:latest: "true"` for the newest)
+
+Use Arrow type as a hint: `FixedSizeList` + float → embedding; `Utf8`/`LargeUtf8` → text; `Binary` → image or blob.
+
+Multiple tags on the same column are fine — each is a separate key.
+
+### Grouping into logical columns (`lancedb:logical-column`)
+
+Look for naming patterns across columns:
+- `clip_v1`, `clip_v2`, `clip_v3` → logical column `"clip"`, latest is `v3`
+- `text_embed_20240101`, `text_embed_20240601` → logical column `"text_embed"`, latest is the most recent date suffix
+
+Write `lancedb:logical-column` on all members of a group. Mark the newest with `lancedb:tag:latest: "true"` (in addition to its version tag).
+
+## Step 4: Write the metadata
+
+```http
+POST {base_url}/v1/table/{table_id}/update_field_metadata
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "updates": [
+    {
+      "path": "clip_v3",
+      "metadata": {
+        "lancedb:description": "CLIP ViT-L/14 image embedding, L2-normalized (1024-dim).",
+        "lancedb:tag:field_type": "embedding",
+        "lancedb:tag:model": "clip",
+        "lancedb:tag:version": "v3",
+        "lancedb:tag:latest": "true",
+        "lancedb:logical-column": "clip"
+      },
+      "replace": false
+    },
+    {
+      "path": "clip_v2",
+      "metadata": {
+        "lancedb:description": "CLIP ViT-B/32 image embedding (768-dim), superseded by v3.",
+        "lancedb:tag:field_type": "embedding",
+        "lancedb:tag:model": "clip",
+        "lancedb:tag:version": "v2",
+        "lancedb:logical-column": "clip"
+      },
+      "replace": false
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Rules:
+- **Use `"replace": false`** (merge) by default — this preserves existing metadata the user didn't ask to change
+- Use `"replace": true` only if the user explicitly asks to overwrite all existing metadata on a column
+- Set a value to `null` to delete a specific key
+- Batch all updates in a single request when possible
+
+The response includes `version` (new table version) and `fields` (the updated metadata per field).
+
+## Step 5: Confirm
+
+Report back:
+- Which columns were updated and what was written
+- The new table version number
+- Any columns skipped (e.g., already had up-to-date metadata)
+
+---
+
+## Quick examples
+
+**"Write descriptions for all columns in the `product_embeddings` table"**
+1. POST `/v1/table/product_embeddings/describe` → get all fields
+2. Generate a `lancedb:description` for each column based on name + type
+3. POST `update_field_metadata` with descriptions
+4. Report
+
+**"Tag the columns in `model_outputs` with their field type and model"**
+1. Describe `model_outputs`
+2. For each field, classify by name + Arrow type → set `lancedb:tag:field_type` and `lancedb:tag:model` where applicable
+3. POST `update_field_metadata`
+4. Report
+
+**"Group the feature columns in `training_features` into logical families and mark the latest version"**
+1. Describe the table
+2. Find version patterns → assign `lancedb:logical-column` and `lancedb:tag:version`; mark newest with `lancedb:tag:latest: "true"`
+3. POST `update_field_metadata`
+4. Show the grouping

+description: Resolve how to connect to a LanceDB deployment over the REST API — figure out the base URL, API key, and database header. Use this before making any REST requests to a LanceDB table, whenever the endpoint or auth setup is not already known. Also useful on its own when someone asks how to connect, authenticate, or curl their LanceDB instance.
+metadata:
+  short-description: Resolve the base URL and auth headers for a LanceDB deployment
+---
+
+## Goal
+
+Produce two things every REST request needs:
+
+1. **Base URL** — the endpoint
+2. **Headers** — `x-api-key`, and usually `x-lancedb-database`
+
+## Resolution steps
+
+1. If the user already gave a URL and API key (or said which environment they're working against), use that.
+2. Otherwise, look for credentials already available in the environment:
+   - Env vars like `LANCEDB_URI` / `LANCEDB_HOST` / `LANCEDB_API_KEY`
+   - A LanceDB endpoint already running or port-forwarded locally (the REST default port is 2333, i.e. `http://localhost:2333`)
+3. If you didn't find both pieces, ask the user directly: **"What's your LanceDB endpoint's URL, and what's your API key?"** Also ask which database to use if it isn't obvious. Don't guess or probe further — the user knows their deployment.
+
+## Validating the connection
+
+Make a cheap authenticated request and check the status:
+
+```bash
+curl -s -w "\n%{http_code}" "{base_url}/v1/table/?limit=1" \
+  -H "x-api-key: <key>" \
+  -H "x-lancedb-database: <database>"
+```
+
+- `200` — connection, key, and database header all good
+- `401` — API key missing or wrong
+- `400` mentioning a database header — this deployment expects `x-lancedb-database`
+
+## Non-REST equivalents
+
+If the caller would rather use the SDK or CLI than raw REST, the same credentials work:
+
+- Python SDK: `lancedb.connect("db://<database>", api_key="<key>", host_override="<base_url>")`
+- `lancedb` CLI: a `[profiles.<name>]` entry in `~/.lancedb/config.toml` with `http_server_url`, `api_key`, `database`

-  rendered by a single directive each, driven by the module's `__all__`. Add the new
-  name to `__all__` and it appears; forget, and it is silently omitted.
-* Everything else (`lancedb`, `lancedb.table`, `lancedb.query`, `lancedb.db`, ...) is
-  listed symbol by symbol. Add a `::: lancedb.<module>.<Name>` line to the matching
-  section, and remember that the page separates synchronous and asynchronous APIs.
-
-Deliberately undocumented: concrete implementations reached through an abstract base
-(`LanceTable`, `LanceDBConnection`, `RemoteDBConnection`), query base classes already
-covered by `inherited_members`, and internal helpers.
-
-Cross-references in docstrings use mkdocstrings syntax, `[text][lancedb.table.Table]`.
-Plain relative links such as `[Table](Table)` do not resolve. To check your work:
-
-```shell
-pip install -r docs/requirements.txt
-cd docs && PYTHONPATH=. mkdocs build
-```
-
-The docs site only builds on pushes to `main`, so this is not covered by PR CI.

-# Class: AutoQuery
-
-A builder for automatic string searches.
-
-Automatic search determines whether to use full-text or vector search from
-the table revision selected for each execution. This builder exposes the
-common operations supported by both query families.
-
-## Extends

-## Methods
-
-### analyzePlan()
-
-```ts
-analyzePlan(distributedMetrics?): Promise<string>
-```
-
-Executes the query and returns the physical query plan annotated with runtime metrics.
-
-This is useful for debugging and performance analysis, as it shows how the query was executed
-and includes metrics such as elapsed time, rows processed, and I/O statistics.
-
-#### Parameters
-
-* **distributedMetrics?**: [`AnalyzePlanDistributedMetrics`](../type-aliases/AnalyzePlanDistributedMetrics.md)
-    How distributed worker metrics are displayed for remote query plans.
-    Defaults to `"aggregate"`.
-
-#### Returns
-
-`Promise`&lt;`string`&gt;
-
-A query execution plan with runtime metrics for each step.
-
-#### Example
-
-```ts
-import * as lancedb from "@lancedb/lancedb"
-
-const db = await lancedb.connect("./.lancedb");
-const table = await db.createTable("my_table", [
-  { vector: [1.1, 0.9], id: "1" },
-]);
-
-const plan = await table.query().nearestTo([0.5, 0.2]).analyzePlan();
-
-Example output (with runtime metrics inlined):
-AnalyzeExec verbose=true, metrics=[]
- ProjectionExec: expr=[id@3 as id, vector@0 as vector, _distance@2 as _distance], metrics=[output_rows=1, elapsed_compute=3.292µs]
-  Take: columns="vector, _rowid, _distance, (id)", metrics=[output_rows=1, elapsed_compute=66.001µs, batches_processed=1, bytes_read=8, iops=1, requests=1]
-   CoalesceBatchesExec: target_batch_size=1024, metrics=[output_rows=1, elapsed_compute=3.333µs]
-    GlobalLimitExec: skip=0, fetch=10, metrics=[output_rows=1, elapsed_compute=167ns]
-     FilterExec: _distance@2 IS NOT NULL, metrics=[output_rows=1, elapsed_compute=8.542µs]
-      SortExec: TopK(fetch=10), expr=[_distance@2 ASC NULLS LAST], metrics=[output_rows=1, elapsed_compute=63.25µs, row_replacements=1]
-       KNNVectorDistance: metric=l2, metrics=[output_rows=1, elapsed_compute=114.333µs, output_batches=1]

-
-This can be used to inspect the types and names of the columns that will be
-returned by the query before executing it.
-
-#### Returns
-
-`Promise`&lt;`Schema`&lt;`any`&gt;&gt;
-
-An Arrow Schema describing the output columns.
-
-#### Inherited from
-
-`StandardQueryBase.outputSchema`
-
-***
-
-### select()
-
-```ts
-select(columns): this
-```
-
-Return only the specified columns.
-
-By default a query will return all columns from the table.  However, this can have
-a very significant impact on latency.  LanceDb stores data in a columnar fashion.  This
-means we can finely tune our I/O to select exactly the columns we need.
-
-As a best practice you should always limit queries to the columns that you need.  If you
-pass in an array of column names then only those columns will be returned.
-
-You can also use this method to create new "dynamic" columns based on your existing columns.
-For example, you may not care about "a" or "b" but instead simply want "a + b".  This is often
-seen in the SELECT clause of an SQL query (e.g. `SELECT a+b FROM my_table`).
-
-To create dynamic columns you can pass in a Map<string, string>.  A column will be returned
-for each entry in the map.  The key provides the name of the column.  The value is
-an SQL string used to specify how the column is calculated.
-
-For example, an SQL query might state `SELECT a + b AS combined, c`.  The equivalent
-input to this method would be:
-
-#### Parameters
-
-* **columns**: `string` \| `string`[] \| `Record`&lt;`string`, `string`&gt; \| `Map`&lt;`string`, `string`&gt;
-
-#### Returns
-
-`this`
-
-#### Example
-
-```ts
-new Map([["combined", "a + b"], ["c", "c"]])
-
-Columns will always be returned in the order given, even if that order is different than
-the order used when adding the data.
-
-Note that you can pass in a `Record<string, string>` (e.g. an object literal). This method
-uses `Object.entries` which should preserve the insertion order of the object.  However,
-object insertion order is easy to get wrong and `Map` is more foolproof.

-### useLsm()
-
-```ts
-useLsm(enable): this
-```
-
-Control MemWAL read routing for this query.
-
-By default (unset), when the table carries a MemWAL write spec (see
-[Table#setLsmWriteSpec](Table.md#setlsmwritespec)), reads are routed through the LSM scanner so
-they also return data written via the `mergeInsert` LSM path that has not yet
-been compacted into the base table (the active/frozen in-memory memtables and
-the flushed generations), deduplicated by primary key; a table without a spec
-reads the base table.
-
-#### Parameters
-
-* **enable**: `boolean`
-    `true` forces the LSM scanner and errors if the table has no
-    MemWAL write spec. `false` bypasses the MemWAL and reads the base table only,
-    even when a spec is present.
-    Note: the LSM scanner does not support every query shape (e.g. reranking,
-    hybrid search, `orderBy`). On a MemWAL table those shapes error unless
-    `useLsm(false)` is set, because a base-only read would silently exclude
-    un-compacted MemWAL data.
-
-#### Returns
-
-`this`

-#### Inherited from

-`StandardQueryBase.useLsm`

-
-### where()
-
-```ts
-where(predicate): this
-```
-
-A filter statement to be applied to this query.
-
-The filter should be supplied as an SQL query string.  For example:
-
-#### Parameters
-
-* **predicate**: `string`
-
-#### Returns
-
-`this`
-
-#### Example
-
-```ts
-x > 10
-y > 0 AND y < 100
-x > 5 OR y = 'test'
-
-Filtering performance can often be improved by creating a scalar index
-on the filter column(s).
-
-Calling this multiple times combines the filters with a logical AND rather
-than replacing the previous filter.
-```
-
-#### Inherited from
-
-`StandardQueryBase.where`
-
-***
-
-### withRowId()
-
-```ts
-withRowId(): this
-```
-
-Whether to return the row id in the results.
-
-This column can be used to match results between different queries. For
-example, to match results from a full text search and a vector search in
-order to perform hybrid search.
-
-#### Returns
-
-`this`

-function instrumentLanceDbMetrics(meterProvider?): boolean

-
-Register LanceDB metrics as OpenTelemetry observable instruments.
-
-Installs a process-global metrics recorder and creates one observable
-instrument per LanceDB metric (currently object store request counts, bytes,
-latency, errors, and throttles) on the given (or global) `MeterProvider`. The
-configured `MetricReader` then collects them on its own schedule.
-
-Counters and gauges map directly to observable counters/gauges. Because
-OpenTelemetry has no asynchronous histogram instrument, each histogram is
-exported Prometheus-style as cumulative `le` bucket counts (`<name>_bucket`,
-with an `le` attribute) plus `<name>_count` and `<name>_sum`.
-
-Requires `@opentelemetry/api` (a dependency) and, to actually export, an
-OpenTelemetry SDK such as `@opentelemetry/sdk-metrics`.
