## Summary - Adds a new top-level "Introduction" nav section before "Getting Started": LanceDB, LanceDB Embedded, LanceDB Enterprise, Embedded vs Enterprise. - Trims the landing page's combined Architecture/Embedded/Enterprise/Compare block down to a short pointer section (keeping its `#architecture` anchor), moving that content into two new pages: `basics/lancedb-embedded.mdx` and `basics/embedded-vs-enterprise.mdx`. - `basics/embedded-vs-enterprise.mdx` consolidates the feature-comparison table and the Enterprise overview's own comparison content (previously duplicated across multiple pages and, within this page, repeated across a dimension table, several narrative subsections, and a usage-differences list) into one comparison page with each section covering a distinct angle. - Repoints the `/enterprise` and `/enterprise/deployment` redirects at `/basics/embedded-vs-enterprise`, since the previous destination only resolves once the Enterprise overlay is applied and fails `rust/lancedb/src/docs.rs`'s link-resolution test against this repo's own `docs/web` tree. ## Companion change lancedb/sophon#9718 trims the Enterprise overview page to drop the content that moved here, and relocates its nav insertion into the new Introduction group.
