nuthalapativarun 9c12fb6437 fix(nodejs): treat NAPI_RS_FORCE_WASI as truthy only when set to 'true' (#3519)
## Summary

Fixes the `NAPI_RS_FORCE_WASI=false` issue by upgrading `@napi-rs/cli`
from `3.5.1` to `3.7.0`.

Closes #3267

## Root Cause

In the `native.js` loader generated by `napi build`, the check was:

```js
if (!nativeBinding || process.env.NAPI_RS_FORCE_WASI) {
```

In JavaScript, any non-empty string is truthy, so
`NAPI_RS_FORCE_WASI=false` (a non-empty string) inadvertently triggered
the WASI fallback path. This caused an `ENOENT` error when
`lancedb.wasi.cjs` was not present.

## Fix

`@napi-rs/cli@3.7.0`
([napi-rs/napi-rs#3236](https://github.com/napi-rs/napi-rs/pull/3236))
introduced a tri-state check in the template that generates `native.js`:

**Before (generated by @napi-rs/cli@3.5.1):**
```js
if (!nativeBinding || process.env.NAPI_RS_FORCE_WASI) {
```

**After (generated by @napi-rs/cli@3.7.0):**
```js
const forceWasi =
  process.env.NAPI_RS_FORCE_WASI === 'true' || process.env.NAPI_RS_FORCE_WASI === 'error'

if (!nativeBinding || forceWasi) {
```

Only the literal string `'true'` (or `'error'` for strict mode) now
activates the WASI path. All other values, including `'false'`, `'0'`,
or an unset variable, behave as if WASI is not forced.

## Changes

- `nodejs/package.json`: bump `@napi-rs/cli` from `3.5.1` to `3.7.0`
- `nodejs/package-lock.json` / `nodejs/pnpm-lock.yaml`: update lock
files to match

The fix is in the upstream napi-rs tool; the generated `native.js` is
not committed to this repository and is produced at build time by `napi
build`.

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.
