Use “LanceDB Enterprise” throughout the staged website guides, SDK reference sources, generated API pages, and user-facing SDK messages. A separate branded “LanceDB Distributed” name adds terminology without clarifying behavior; describe where operations run directly. - Update `docs/web`, including the architecture diagram title and alt text. Use Enterprise in headings, table labels, and prose; simplify redundant product/execution-model wording and name the product only once in the diagram alt text. - Update Python docstrings and the Python/Java reference pages, TypeScript comments and native declaration comments, and Rust API documentation. Regenerate the TypeScript reference, including 24 replacements across six pages. - Update SDK warnings/errors and existing test expectations to match, along with contributor guidance and Vale rules. Remove the obsolete rule distinguishing Enterprise from Distributed. - Keep lowercase “distributed” for technical descriptions. API identifiers, anchors, asset paths, and execution behavior are unchanged. No branded-name exceptions are proposed. Validation: - Python and Node native builds succeeded; focused Python tests passed (36 passed, 4 skipped), and focused Node tests passed (14). - TypeDoc generation and the complete MkDocs reference build passed. MkDocs retains an existing unresolved `lancedb.functions.SecretReference` cross-reference. - Rust formatting, Node lint/format, changed-file Python lint/format, 32 Vale tests, and whitespace checks passed. Repository-wide Python lint has 48 existing findings in six untouched files. - Combined documentation assembly passed. Mintlify validation and link/anchor/redirect checks previously passed for both site builds; no code snippets changed.
