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`

-!!! note
-    The current Java namespace API exposes index type, index name, distance type, and full text search tokenizer options.
-    IVF training parameters such as `num_partitions` are not exposed by `CreateTableIndexRequest` yet.
-    To make those configurable from Java, the namespace API must add those fields first.

-# Function: instrumentLanceDbMetrics()
-
-```ts
-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`.
-
-## Parameters
-
-* **meterProvider?**: `MeterProvider`
-    The provider to register instruments on. Defaults to the
-    global provider from `@opentelemetry/api`.
-
-## Returns
-
-`boolean`
-
-`true` if the recorder is installed and instruments are registered.
-  `false` if a different `metrics` recorder is already installed in this
-  process (only one global recorder is permitted), in which case a warning is
-  emitted and no instruments are created. Calling this more than once is safe;
-  instruments are created only on the first successful call.

-description: Use when writing, reviewing, debugging, or documenting LanceDB pipelines in Python or TypeScript, especially code that should work across local LanceDB OSS tables and remote LanceDB Enterprise/Cloud tables. Helps avoid non-portable full-table materialization, choose idiomatic query/search patterns, apply LanceDB performance defaults for ingestion, indexing, filtering, and diagnostics, and resolve connections to the remote server for Enterprise-only operations such as jobs.
----
-
-# Building LanceDB Pipelines
-
-Use this skill to produce LanceDB pipelines that are portable between local and remote tables (for LanceDB Enterprise/Cloud) and idiomatic for the selected SDK.
-
-## LanceDB Table Modes
-
-LanceDB has two common execution modes:
-
-- **Local table**: embedded, open source, in-process LanceDB. The client opens data from a local path or object storage URI and executes queries in the application process.
-- **Remote table**: LanceDB Enterprise/Cloud table opened through a `db://...` URI. The data may be very large, commonly backed by object storage, and queried through a remote service.
-
-Do NOT assume local-only table helpers exist on remote tables. If the user asks for LanceDB Enterprise, Cloud, `db://...`, production remote access, or a remote table, focus on the remote table path: use `search()` / `query()`, keep reads bounded with `select()` and `limit()`, and avoid table-level full materialization APIs.
-
-## Workflow
-
-1. Identify the SDK: Python, TypeScript, or both.
-2. Identify the table mode: local/embedded OSS, remote Enterprise/Cloud, or portable across both. If the user says "LanceDB Enterprise", choose the remote table path. If the task involves jobs in any way (listing, inspecting, creating, or canceling jobs), it is always the remote path and requires a remote server connection — see "Connecting to the LanceDB remote server" below before doing anything else.
-3. Read the matching language branch before writing or changing code:
-   - Python patterns: `references/python/patterns.md`
-   - Python API quick reference: `references/python/api_reference.md`
-   - Python performance guidance: `references/python/performance.md`
-   - TypeScript patterns: `references/typescript/patterns.md`
-   - TypeScript API quick reference: `references/typescript/api_reference.md`
-   - TypeScript performance guidance: `references/typescript/performance.md`
-   - Column metadata authoring (both SDKs): `references/column_metadata.md`
-   - Branch operations (both SDKs): `references/branch_ops.md`
-   - Remote server connection resolution (jobs, raw REST): `references/remote_connect.md`
-   - Job operations REST API (list/describe/cancel/query_events): `references/remote_jobs.md`
-4. Start with `patterns.md` for the selected SDK. Read `api_reference.md` when choosing method names or return collectors. Read `performance.md` when the task involves ingestion, indexing, filtering, query tuning, diagnostics, or large datasets. Read `column_metadata.md` when the task is documenting, tagging, classifying, or grouping table columns (field descriptions, `lancedb:tag:*` tags, logical column families). Read `branch_ops.md` when the task involves branch lifecycle (list/create/delete), writing to a non-main branch, or verifying a change stayed off main. Read `remote_connect.md` when the task involves jobs or direct REST access to an Enterprise deployment, and `remote_jobs.md` for the job REST methods themselves (list, describe, cancel, query_events).
-5. For Python schemas, favor Pydantic models and validate records before writing. Use PyArrow schemas when Arrow-native, streaming, or highly dynamic data makes them materially better suited.
-6. Prefer `search()` or `query()` builders with explicit `select()` and `limit()` for reads.
-7. Avoid table-level full materialization in remote or portable code. This is the main local-vs-remote read pitfall.
-8. After a successful embedded OSS ingestion, call `table.optimize()`. Do not call it for Enterprise/Cloud; remote maintenance is automatic.
-9. For remote Enterprise/Cloud writes, never drop-then-reuse or `mode="overwrite"` the same table name — see "Enterprise: never drop-then-reuse the same table name" below. This is the main local-vs-remote write pitfall.
-10. If reviewing an existing file or repo, run `scripts/check_materialization.py` on the relevant paths and inspect each finding before editing.
-11. Cross-check unfamiliar or non-trivial API claims against the source tree instead of relying on memory.
-
-## Core Portability Rule
-
-Do not write code that assumes a local table API will exist on a remote table. Remote tables can be very large, so whole-table materialization helpers are intentionally unavailable or unsafe.
-
-This does **not** mean result conversion is forbidden. Bounded query/search result collection is normal:
-
-- Python: `table.search(...).select([...]).limit(10).to_pandas()`
-- TypeScript: `await table.search(...).select([...]).limit(10).toArray()`
-
-The unsafe pattern is table-level or unbounded collection, plus local-only dataset escape hatches in remote code:
-
-- Python: `table.to_pandas()`, `table.to_arrow()`, `table.to_polars()`; `table.to_lance()` is local/OSS-only dataset access, not materialization
-- TypeScript: `await table.toArrow()`, `await table.query().toArray()` without `limit()`
-
-## Enterprise: never drop-then-reuse the same table name
-
-LanceDB Enterprise/Cloud splits a **control plane** (DDL: create/drop/rename) from a **data plane** (query nodes that serve reads). Query nodes cache the resolved dataset for a table name for up to `table_cache_ttl` — **default 300 seconds (5 minutes)**. After you drop or overwrite a table, the control plane updates immediately but the data plane keeps serving the *old* dataset until that cache entry expires. During the window the two planes disagree.
-
-The failure this causes: you `drop_table("t")` then immediately `create_table("t", ...)` (or `create_table("t", ..., mode="overwrite")`). The DDL returns success, but every query against `t` returns **`500 Internal Server Error`** (the query node resolves the stale/deleted dataset), and a fresh `describe` may still show the *old* schema/version. It looks like your write silently failed; it didn't — the name is cached.
-
-**`mode="overwrite"` has the same problem** — it is a drop+create of the same name under the hood.
-
-Rules for portable Enterprise ingestion:
-
-1. **Never reuse a table name you just dropped/overwrote within the cache TTL.** Do not use `mode="overwrite"` to replace an existing Enterprise table in place.
-2. To (re)load data, **write to a fresh table name** (e.g. `<table>_v2`, or a run-stamped suffix). A brand-new name has no cached data-plane entry, so writes and reads work immediately.
-3. Before creating, `list_tables()` and **fail loudly if the name already exists** rather than overwriting — prompt for a new name.
-4. To land on a specific final name that is currently occupied by an old table: drop the old table, **wait out the TTL (~5 min), then `rename_table(fresh_name, final_name)`**. Renaming onto a name whose old dataset is still cached hits the same race, so the wait is mandatory. `rename_table` is a supported control-plane op.
-5. When you hand a table name back to a human, tell them which step still needs the propagation wait (usually: "the old `t` was dropped; run the rename in ~5 minutes").
-
-This is Enterprise/Cloud-specific. Local/OSS tables have no separate data plane, so `mode="overwrite"` and immediate same-name reuse are fine there.
-
-## Connecting to the LanceDB remote server
-
-LanceDB Enterprise/Cloud deployments are served by a server implementing the lance-namespace OpenAPI spec (<https://github.com/lance-format/lance-namespace/blob/main/docs/src/spec.yaml>). Every remote (`db://...`) connection talks to such a server, and some operations exist only there. In particular, **all operations around jobs (listing, inspecting, creating, or canceling jobs) run server-side** — there is no local/OSS equivalent. Before any job work, or any direct REST call to an Enterprise deployment, read `references/remote_connect.md` to resolve the base URL, credentials, and database header and to validate the connection. Then use the four job REST methods documented in `references/remote_jobs.md` (list, describe, cancel, query_events).

-# Branch Operations
-
-Manage branches on a LanceDB table: list what exists, create new ones, delete stale ones, and direct read/write operations at a specific branch without touching main. Use for branch lifecycle tasks, experimental/isolated table versions, targeting an operation at a non-main branch, or confirming a mutation did not affect main.
-
-Works on local/OSS and remote Enterprise/Cloud tables, except merging a branch into main, which is Enterprise-only.
-
-## The branch model (important)
-
-Branches are isolated, writable lines of history forked from another branch (or a specific version). Writes on a branch never affect `main`.
-
-There is **no global "switch branch" state** — you never repoint the whole table at a branch. Instead, **operations are scoped by which table handle you use**:
-
-- The handle you got from `open_table(name)` / `openTable(name)` targets `main`.
-- `branches.create(...)` and `branches.checkout(...)` return a **new table handle scoped to that branch**. Every read/write on that handle (add, update, `update_field_metadata`, `create_index`, search, …) lands on the branch.
-- The original main handle is unaffected — keep it around to verify isolation.
-
-`branches.list()` returns only non-main branches. Main always exists and is not listed.
-
-## Python
-
-`table.branches` is a property returning the branch manager; `table.current_branch()` tells you what a handle is scoped to (`None` = main).
-
-```python
-table = db.open_table("products")            # scoped to main
-
-# list — dict of name -> metadata (parent_branch, parent_version, ...); {} = only main
-table.branches.list()
-
-# create: forks from main by default and returns a handle scoped to the new branch
-exp = table.branches.create("experiment-reindex")
-exp = table.branches.create("exp2", from_ref="main", from_version=None)  # optional fork point
-
-# checkout an existing branch -> branch-scoped handle
-wip = table.branches.checkout("wip-branch")
-# with version= it pins to that version (read-only detached view); omit to track latest, writable
-
-# operate on the branch simply by using its handle
-wip.update_field_metadata(
-    {"path": "category", "metadata": {"lancedb:description": "Product category label."}}
-)
-wip.create_scalar_index("category")
-
-# delete: removes only the branch pointer; main and row data remain intact
-table.branches.delete("stale-2024")
-
-# alternatively, open a branch handle directly from the connection
-wip = db.open_table("products", branch="wip-branch")
-
-exp.current_branch()    # "experiment-reindex"
-table.current_branch()  # None (main)
-```
-
-Async: same shape — `table.branches` returns `AsyncBranches`; `await table.branches.create(...)` etc.
-
-## TypeScript
-
-`table.branches()` is an **async method** returning the `Branches` manager; `table.currentBranch()` returns the scoped branch or `null` for main.
-
-```typescript
-const table = await db.openTable("products"); // scoped to main
-const branches = await table.branches();
-
-// list — Record<string, BranchContents>; {} = only main
-await branches.list();
-
-// create: forks from main by default, returns a Table scoped to the new branch
-const exp = await branches.create("experiment-reindex");
-const exp2 = await branches.create("exp2", "main" /* fromRef */, undefined /* fromVersion */);
-
-// checkout an existing branch -> branch-scoped Table
-const wip = await branches.checkout("wip-branch");
-// with a version arg it pins (read-only detached view); omit to track latest, writable
-
-// operate on the branch simply by using its handle
-await wip.updateFieldMetadata([
-  { path: "category", metadata: { "lancedb:description": "Product category label." } },
-]);
-await wip.createIndex("category");
-
-// delete: removes only the branch pointer; main and row data remain intact
-await branches.delete("stale-2024");
-
-// alternatively, open a branch handle directly from the connection
-const wip2 = await db.openTable("products", { branch: "wip-branch" });
-
-exp.currentBranch();   // "experiment-reindex"
-table.currentBranch(); // null (main)
-```
-
-## Verifying isolation
-
-After writing to a branch, confirm the change did NOT land on main by reading through both handles:
-
-```python
-wip = table.branches.checkout("wip-branch")
-wip.update_field_metadata({"path": "category", "metadata": {"lancedb:description": "..."}})
-
-assert b"lancedb:description" in (wip.schema.field("category").metadata or {})
-assert b"lancedb:description" not in (table.schema.field("category").metadata or {})  # main untouched
-```
-
-Two handles on the same branch see each other's writes (e.g. `table.branches.create("exp")` and `db.open_table(name, branch="exp")`); main stays isolated.
-
-## Merging a branch into main (Enterprise only)
-
-Merge is available through the SDKs (`table.branches.merge(...)`) on **Enterprise tables only** — it is not supported on Cloud or local/OSS tables, which raise `NotSupported`.
-
-`merge` takes the branch to merge **from** and a `dry_run` flag. Both the SDK method and the underlying REST endpoint **actually merge by default** (`dry_run=False`); pass `dry_run=True` to only preview. A rejected merge is **not an exception** — it returns a result with `status="rejected"` rather than raising, so inspect the return value. Use `branches.diff(from_branch)` to inspect a branch's pending diff without attempting a merge.
-
-```python
-exp = "experiment-reindex"
-
-# preview only — returns status="ready" if it would merge cleanly
-preview = table.branches.merge(exp, dry_run=True)
-
-# actually merge (default)
-result = table.branches.merge(exp)
-if result["status"] == "merged":
-    print("landed at", result["mainVersionAfter"])
-elif result["status"] == "rejected":
-    print(result["diff"]["mergeBlockers"])   # why it was refused
-
-# inspect a branch's pending diff without merging
-diff = table.branches.diff(exp)
-```
-
-Async: `await table.branches.merge(exp)`, `await table.branches.diff(exp)`.
-
-```typescript
-const branches = await table.branches();
-const exp = "experiment-reindex";
-
-// preview only (second arg is dryRun)
-const preview = await branches.merge(exp, true);
-
-// actually merge (default)
-const result = await branches.merge(exp);
-if (result.status === "merged") {
-  console.log("landed at", result.mainVersionAfter);
-} else if (result.status === "rejected") {
-  console.log(result.diff.mergeBlockers);
-}
-
-const diff = await branches.diff(exp);
-```
-
-The result is the wire JSON, containing `status` (`ready` on a passing dry run, `merged` on success, `rejected` when refused — also `notImplemented`/`unknown`), the branch `diff` (including `mergeBlockers` explaining any rejection), a `preview` of the columns that would be promoted, and — after a real merge — `mainVersionAfter`.
-
-### Merge preconditions
-
-Merge only **promotes newly added columns** onto main; it does not replay arbitrary commits. Practically, a branch is mergeable only if it has **exactly one commit since it was created, and that commit added a column**. The merge is rejected (`status: "rejected"`, with `mergeBlockers` set) if:
-
-- the branch was forked from another branch rather than directly from main
-- main has advanced since the branch was forked
-- the branch's rows changed since the fork (row counts must match main exactly)
-- the branch removed columns or changed a column's type/nullability
-- the branch added no columns (index-only changes are not merged)
-
-### Adding a column in a single commit
-
-Because the branch must contain just one column-adding commit, add the column with its values in one operation rather than add-then-backfill:
-
-1. **SQL transformation** — `add_columns` with a SQL expression computed from existing columns, so the column lands populated in one commit.
-2. **Precompute the values** — compute the column's values externally, then add the fully-populated column in a single operation (e.g. via `merge_insert`/`add_columns` with the data ready).
-3. **Lance-format-level data evolution (pylance)** — use Lance's data evolution with backfill, documented at <https://lance.org/guide/data_evolution/#with-data-backfill>.

-# Column Metadata Authoring
-
-Write column-level descriptions, tags, and logical groupings onto a LanceDB table's schema. Use this when the user wants to document, annotate, tag, or classify what their table columns ARE (embeddings vs labels vs eval metrics, model provenance, version families, etc.).
-
-Works on local/OSS and remote Enterprise/Cloud tables alike — read the schema through the table handle, write through `update_field_metadata` (Python) / `updateFieldMetadata` (TypeScript).
-
-## Metadata key conventions
-
-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*. Multiple tags on the same column are fine — each is a separate key. All values are strings.
-
-## Step 1: Read the schema and existing metadata
-
-Read existing metadata before writing, to avoid redundant updates.
-
-Python — `table.schema` (sync property; async: `await table.schema()`) returns a `pyarrow.Schema`. **Arrow field metadata is bytes-keyed in Python**:
-
-```python
-schema = table.schema
-for field in schema:
-    meta = field.metadata or {}  # dict[bytes, bytes], e.g. {b"lancedb:description": b"..."}
-    print(field.name, field.type, field.nullable, meta)
-```
-
-TypeScript — `await table.schema()` returns an Arrow `Schema`; field metadata is a `Map<string, string>`:
-
-```typescript
-const schema = await table.schema();
-for (const field of schema.fields) {
-  console.log(field.name, field.type, field.nullable, field.metadata); // Map
-  // field.metadata.get("lancedb:description")
-}
-```
-
-For struct/nested fields, recurse into the field's children and address them as dot-paths (e.g., `parent.child`).
-
-If the user hasn't specified which columns to update, work with all columns.
-
-## Step 2: Generate metadata
-
-Decide what to generate based on the user's request.
-
-### 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."`
-
-### Tags (`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.
-
-### Logical groupings (`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 3: Write the metadata
-
-Each update names a field by dot-path and carries a metadata map. Semantics (identical in both SDKs):
-
-- **Merge by default** (`replace` omitted/false) — preserves existing metadata the user didn't ask to change
-- `replace: true` swaps the field's entire metadata map — only if the user explicitly asks to overwrite
-- A value of `None`/`null` deletes that specific key
-- Batch all field updates into a single call when possible
-- Returns the new table version
-
-Python (sync and async take one dict per field, as varargs):
-
-```python
-res = table.update_field_metadata(
-    {
-        "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",
-        },
-    },
-    {
-        "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",
-        },
-    },
-)
-print(res.version)  # new table version
-
-# merge semantics: add a key, delete one via None, keep the rest
-table.update_field_metadata(
-    {"path": "clip_v2", "metadata": {"lancedb:tag:archived": "true", "lancedb:tag:latest": None}}
-)
-```
-
-(`replace_field_metadata` is deprecated — use `update_field_metadata`.)
-
-TypeScript (takes an array of `FieldMetadataUpdate`):
-
-```typescript
-const res = await table.updateFieldMetadata([
-  {
-    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",
-    },
-  },
-  {
-    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",
-    },
-  },
-]);
-console.log(res.version); // new table version
-
-// merge semantics: add a key, delete one via null, keep the rest
-await table.updateFieldMetadata([
-  { path: "clip_v2", metadata: { "lancedb:tag:archived": "true", "lancedb:tag:latest": null } },
-]);
-```
-
-## Step 4: Confirm
-
-Report back:
-- Which columns were updated and what was written
-- The new table version number (from the result)
-- Any columns skipped (e.g., already had up-to-date metadata)
-
-## Quick examples
-
-**"Write descriptions for all columns in the `product_embeddings` table"**
-1. Read `table.schema` → all fields + existing metadata
-2. Generate a `lancedb:description` for each column based on name + type
-3. One `update_field_metadata` call with all descriptions
-4. Report
-
-**"Tag the columns in `model_outputs` with their field type and model"**
-1. Read the schema
-2. For each field, classify by name + Arrow type → set `lancedb:tag:field_type` and `lancedb:tag:model` where applicable
-3. Write in one batched call
-4. Report
-
-**"Group the feature columns in `training_features` into logical families and mark the latest version"**
-1. Read the schema
-2. Find version patterns → assign `lancedb:logical-column` and `lancedb:tag:version`; mark newest with `lancedb:tag:latest: "true"`
-3. Write in one batched call
-4. Show the grouping
