Align the experimental Function HTTP transport with the equivalent Table
CRUD API shape. This is an intentional breaking change to the
experimental Function routes; public Rust and Python APIs remain
unchanged.
## Route comparison
| Operation | Function before | Function after | Equivalent Table API |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Create | `POST /v1/functions/create` | `POST /v1/function/{id}/create`
| `POST /v1/table/{id}/create` |
| Describe | `POST /v1/functions/describe` | `POST
/v1/function/{id}/describe` | `POST /v1/table/{id}/describe` |
| List | `POST /v1/functions/list` | `GET
/v1/namespace/{id}/function/list` | `GET /v1/namespace/{id}/table/list`
|
| Drop | `POST /v1/functions/drop` | `POST /v1/function/{id}/drop` |
`POST /v1/table/{id}/drop` |
## Contract details
- Create, describe, and drop use a singular resource path. Their `{id}`
path parameter is the URL-encoded Function name, and the duplicate
Function identifier is removed from each request body.
- Create continues to accept `202 Accepted`.
- List changes from a POST with a JSON body to a namespace-scoped GET.
Its `{id}` path parameter is the namespace identifier rather than a
Function name.
- Functions do not support nested namespaces yet, so the client lists
against the root namespace identifier (`$` with the default delimiter).
A non-root namespace is rejected.
- The optional list filter is named `name`. `limit`, `page_token`, and
`include_definition` remain available as query parameters.
- The paginated list response shape is unchanged.
