Yang Cen 69ac2158a1 fix: preserve take_row_ids request order (#4826)
`take_row_ids` used an `IN` filter, so the backend could reorder rows
and collapse duplicate IDs. That can silently misalign training rows
with labels or sample weights.

Restore the requested order and duplicate occurrences in the shared Rust
take path for native and remote tables, and retain that information
through Python query serialization. Missing or deleted IDs are omitted.
Explicit Rust `order_by` overrides request order, and pagination applies
after restoring occurrences. Empty projections and `_rowid` projection
aliases retain their output schema.

RTE tables reject unsupported takes with the existing base-table
guidance before checking the internal row-ID projection used for
ordering. An explicit `use_rte(False)` reads the base table with the
same requested order and occurrences.

A pre-existing fixture defect also blocked CI:
`test_table_add_in_threadpool` responded without reading uploads,
allowing a connection reset during response decoding. This PR includes a
fix confined to that test's handler: consume each request body before
responding and verify one create row plus ten inserted rows. This was
not a regression in the take implementation. Production write retries,
concurrency and HTTP client code are unchanged.

The selective sampling guide scopes the row-ID guarantees to SDK
releases containing this fix, preserves the distinct offset-take
semantics, and explains that ordered takes collect and combine matching
rows before output batching. It recommends smaller ID requests and
narrow projections because `max_batch_length` does not cap working
memory. This uses the existing REST query protocol and requires a new
SDK release; no deployed service was changed.

Validation:
- Docs follow-up: the changed page compiles with the Mint 4.2.888 MDX
compiler; Typos 1.26.0 passes and Vale 3.24.0 has no findings on changed
lines. Full-site Mint validation reports four existing snippet-import
warnings on the reranking/vector-search pages, identical with the
original page restored in a baseline comparison.
- The applied threadpool test passed locally after the fixture change.
The identical candidate previously passed 10 trials with the ordinary
reader and 10 with an unbuffered reader; each trial verifies all
uploaded rows. Those checks used macOS arm64/Python 3.14/default
features, not the full failing CI environment. The normal new-head macOS
Python 3.13/experimental-functions job remains the required platform
check.
- Python package Ruff format/check passed. Repository-root Ruff still
reports 59 existing errors and six formatting differences in unchanged
`docs/web-tests` files; none are in changed files.
- At `a569d3f0`, the RTE diagnostic regression was reproduced and fixed;
5 targeted cases and strict workspace Clippy passed. The fixture-only
follow-up changes no production Rust/Python code, so that evidence is
reused.
- Earlier validation at `6bcc0878`: 439 Rust query/remote-table tests
and 24 Python take/getitems tests passed; the focused 49-test suite also
covered offset dataloaders. A local 9,216-row, four-fragment
reproduction returned 200 seeded random batches of 64 rows with zero
ordering or label-alignment mismatches. The ordering and projection
implementation is unchanged by the follow-ups.
- No live Enterprise run was performed.
