lancedb-gatefixer[bot] 2ba7407dc3 fix(node): cover non-nullable embedding schema append (#3835)
## Summary

- Add an issue-specific regression for appending generated embeddings to
an empty table with a non-nullable vector field.
- Verify the custom embedding function produces the declared Float64
vectors and both appended rows are readable.

## Root cause

In v0.4.19, records without a vector value were materialized against the
explicit schema before embeddings were inserted. Apache Arrow inferred
the generated batch vector field as nullable while the table retained
the user-provided non-nullable field, then rejected the mismatched
schemas.

The current conversion path excludes the generated field from the
initial record conversion and realigns the completed batch to the stored
schema after embedding, but the reported empty-table append sequence
lacked permanent regression coverage.

## Validation

- `pnpm exec biome format --write __test__/embedding.test.ts`
- `pnpm lint-ci`
- `pnpm test -- --runInBand __test__/embedding.test.ts` (12 passed, 1
skipped integration test)
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm run docs`

Fixes #1281

LanceDB JavaScript SDK

A JavaScript library for LanceDB.

Installation

npm install @lancedb/lancedb

This will download the appropriate native library for your platform. We currently support:

  • Linux (x86_64 and aarch64 on glibc and musl)
  • MacOS (Intel and ARM/M1/M2)
  • Windows (x86_64 and aarch64)

Usage

Basic Example

import * as lancedb from "@lancedb/lancedb";
const db = await lancedb.connect("data/sample-lancedb");
const table = await db.createTable("my_table", [
  { id: 1, vector: [0.1, 1.0], item: "foo", price: 10.0 },
  { id: 2, vector: [3.9, 0.5], item: "bar", price: 20.0 },
]);
const results = await table.vectorSearch([0.1, 0.3]).limit(20).toArray();
console.log(results);

The quickstart contains more complete examples.
