Python UDF registration could not set `batch_size` or `row_timeout_seconds`, and the Rust registration model discarded these fields before submitting SQL. Expose both optional controls and preserve them through registration, with invalid values rejected and unchanged canonical bytes when the controls are omitted. The timeout applies to each Python call: one row for scalar Functions and one batch for vectorized Functions. Initialization keeps its existing service deadline. Validation at `f58e55c535a7df310db14d691b329402ca4baaf5`: 6 Rust registration-contract tests, 2 outbound-SQL tests, and all 103 Python slice2 tests passed after rebuilding the native extension. Rust formatting and the repository Python CI checks (Ruff 0.9.9, python/ scope) passed. A real REST + Flight SQL server integration also passed using the rebuilt SDK: `batch_size=2` limits observed calls in a direct SELECT over 8 rows, initial materialized-view creation, and append/refresh to 12 rows. This CPU host test verifies SDK-to-runtime passthrough; it does not exercise GPU initialization. Refs ENT-3246. The original GPU initialization and video-decoding scenario still needs verification on a current deployment; this SDK change does not close that investigation. The additional repository-root style checks report existing docs/web-tests findings (nine format files and 48 lint diagnostics); all affected files are unchanged from main. These are outside the Python CI job scope. Rust compatibility: callers constructing `FunctionRegistrationRequest` must initialize the two new optional fields (`None` preserves defaults); the request no longer implements `Eq`. The final head `798f463c9f68ab73e28c9a1ff06b5e4ee3e5d01f` adds creation-guide documentation and integrates main’s namespace repr/optional OCI embedding changes. The Function registration implementation is unchanged. All 103 Python slice2 tests passed again on EC2 using the unchanged native extension; Rust and server-bridge evidence remains applicable.
