Neha Prasad 9e2a68541e fix(node): allow undefined/omitted values for nullable vector fields (#2656)
**Problem**: When a vector field is marked as nullable, users should be
able to omit it or pass `undefined`, but this was throwing an error:
"Table has embeddings: 'vector', but no embedding function was provided"

fixes: #2646

**Solution**: Modified `validateSchemaEmbeddings` to check
`field.nullable` before treating `undefined` values as missing embedding
fields.

**Changes**:
- Fixed validation logic in `nodejs/lancedb/arrow.ts`
- Enabled previously skipped test for nullable fields
- Added reproduction test case

**Behavior**:
-  `{ vector: undefined }` now works for nullable fields
-  `{}` (omitted field) now works for nullable fields  
-  `{ vector: null }` still works (unchanged)
-  Non-nullable fields still properly throw errors (unchanged)

  • 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 a more complete example.
