`add_columns().computed()` accepted several columns in one call but bound each against the table's schema as it stood before the call, so `a` and `b = a + 1` had to be two commits. A server staging declarations behind other schema work has no atomic way to do that, and a caller reading the builder's plural signature reasonably expects the batch to be one. Each accepted column now joins the schema the next one resolves against, so the batch is planned and committed as one. Order is the dependency order; reading ahead is still an unknown column. `validate_declarations` exposes the same check without a commit, for callers that must reject before earlier work in the same request lands. Dependent columns need refresh to be dependency-aware, or `b = coalesce(a, 0)` refreshed before `a` bakes zeros from `a`'s placeholder null and the fill-once contract keeps them. Refresh now fills a column's computed inputs first, each as its own commit, then reads the committed values. Two concurrent fills of one input collide on its field in lance's conflict check, so a dependent fill can only commit over inputs that were durable when it read them. `rows_filled` counts the requested column only.
