Will Jones ed6be12ad6 docs: clear the mkdocs warning backlog so --strict passes
`mkdocs build` emitted 61 warnings on main, and rendering the previously
undocumented classes in this PR pushed that to 158. That backlog is what
blocks turning on strict mode (#3707), so clear it here rather than leave
it worse than we found it.

Most of it was one systematic false positive: griffe cannot see the
generated `__init__` of a pydantic dataclass, so every documented
parameter looked unknown. `warn_unknown_params` turns that check off.

The rest were real docstring bugs, in 15 docstrings:

* Prose trailing a `Parameters` section is read as parameter names, which
  invented parameters called `The`, `you` and `To`. Moved into `Notes` or
  the summary.
* numpydoc only reads a type when the colon has spaces around it. Where
  the documented name is a pydantic attribute rather than a signature
  parameter, griffe has no signature to fall back on and the type was
  dropped. Affects nine embedding classes.
* `num_partitions, default sqrt(num_rows)` and friends parse as a list of
  names, rendering a bogus `default` parameter.
* One parameter indented five spaces instead of four.

`nodejs/CONTRIBUTING.md` links to the repo-root CONTRIBUTING.md, which
does not resolve once typedoc copies the file into `docs/src/js/_media/`;
an absolute URL works from both places.

`mkdocs build --strict` now exits 0.

# Contributing to LanceDB Typescript
This document outlines the process for contributing to LanceDB Typescript.
For general contribution guidelines, see [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md).
## Project layout
The Typescript package is a wrapper around the Rust library, `lancedb`. We use
the [napi-rs](https://napi.rs/) library to create the bindings between Rust and
Typescript.
* `src/`: Rust bindings source code
* `lancedb/`: Typescript package source code
* `__test__/`: Unit tests
* `examples/`: A pnpm package with the examples shown in the documentation
## Development environment
To set up your development environment, you will need to install the following:
1. Node.js 22 or later (required by pnpm 11)
2. [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/installation) 11 or later (or run via `corepack enable`,
which uses the `packageManager` field in `package.json`)
3. Rust's package manager, Cargo. Use [rustup](https://rustup.rs/) to install.
4. [protoc](https://grpc.io/docs/protoc-installation/) (Protocol Buffers compiler)
Initial setup:
```shell
pnpm install
```
### Commit Hooks
It is **highly recommended** to install the [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/) hooks to ensure that your
code is formatted correctly and passes basic checks before committing:
```shell
pre-commit install
```
## Development
Most common development commands can be run using the pnpm scripts.
Build the package
```shell
pnpm install
pnpm build
```
Lint:
```shell
pnpm lint
```
Format and fix lints:
```shell
pnpm lint-fix
```
Run tests:
```shell
pnpm test
```
To run a single test:
```shell
# Single file: table.test.ts
pnpm test -- table.test.ts
# Single test: 'merge insert' in table.test.ts
pnpm test -- table.test.ts --testNamePattern=merge\ insert
```
