lancedb-gatefixer[bot] 9b825c5f29 fix(node): route auto search using table embeddings (#3832)
## Summary

- Resolve automatic string-search routing from the active table schema
whenever the query executes.
- Defer embedding-provider construction while leaving explicit vector
and FTS routes unchanged.
- Cover unrelated global registrations and metadata transitions across
repeated executions of one query builder.

## Root cause

LocalTable.search used the number of globally registered embedding
providers to choose between vector and full-text search. A provider
registered for any other table therefore sent a plain FTS table down the
vector path. A wrapper-lifetime metadata snapshot avoided that
contamination but became stale after time travel or read-consistency
refreshes. The query now records fluent builder operations and creates
the appropriate native vector or FTS query from the active schema on
each execution.

## Validation

- pnpm build
- pnpm tsc
- pnpm lint
- pnpm run docs
- pnpm test --runInBand (681 passed, 5 skipped)

Fixes #1557
