Targets `release/v0.39`, not `main`. That branch was cut from `56bbd19f`, the last commit on `main` still pinned to lance 12, and carries eight backported fixes; it will publish the next stable lancedb on the lance 12.0.0 release. ## What changed Rust workspace lance crates and `java/pom.xml` `lance-core` move from `v12.0.0-beta.18` to [`v12.0.0`](https://github.com/lance-format/lance/releases/tag/v12.0.0). No compatibility fixes were needed. Because the target is a stable lance, `ci/set_lance_version.py` takes the `set_stable_version` path, so the workspace dependencies drop their `git` and `tag` fields and resolve from crates.io. That switch is required for the release itself — `cargo publish` rejects a crate with git dependencies — and `Cargo.lock` now has zero `lance-format/lance` references. ## Validation * `python3 ci/validate_stable_lance.py` passes — the gate the `Create Release Commit` workflow runs for a stable release. * `cargo fmt --all`, `git diff --check` clean. * All lance 12.0.0 crates confirmed published on crates.io, and `org.lance:lance-core:12.0.0` on Maven Central. * Full build and test verification is delegated to this PR's CI, which also exercises the eight backported fixes on the branch. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
