## Summary - infer fixed-size float32 Arrow vectors from `VectorField` metadata when a model uses the standard `list[float]` annotation - document the mypy-compatible embedding-field declaration while preserving the existing `Vector(dim)` runtime API - add regression coverage for schema conversion and model construction ## Root cause `Vector(dim)` is a runtime constrained-type factory, but Python's static typing rules do not permit call expressions in annotation positions. Mypy's suggested `Vector[...]` spelling also cannot represent a dimension computed at runtime and fails because `Vector` is a function. `VectorField` already carries the embedding function and its dimension, but schema conversion previously ignored that metadata for a statically valid `list[float]` annotation. The runtime factory remains available for dimension-constrained Pydantic validation. Embedding-backed models that require mypy compatibility can now use `list[float] = embedding.VectorField()`; LanceDB derives the same nullable fixed-size float32 Arrow type from the field metadata. ## Validation - `cd python && uv run --extra tests pytest python/tests/test_pydantic.py -q` (23 passed) - focused mypy check reproducing the original error and accepting the new `LanceModel` declaration - isolated schema checks with Pydantic 1.10.24 and 2.11.7 - `ruff format .` - `ruff check .` Fixes #1982 <!-- lance-gatekeeper-fix:v1 agent=877facbc659cdc9424bd367e12426366 generation=1 --> Co-authored-by: Gatefixer <313497061+lancedb-gatefixer[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
