View APIs now read the native `name`, `query`, and `schema` columns
returned by `CREATE VIEW` and `DESCRIBE VIEW`. The schema JSON carries
the defining database and namespace; the requested namespace identifies
where the view lives. The unreleased JSON-envelope response is removed
without a compatibility fallback.
```python
view = db.create_view("adults", "SELECT name FROM people WHERE age >= 18")
view = db.describe_view("adults")
```
```sql
CREATE VIEW "adults" AS SELECT name FROM people WHERE age >= 18;
DESCRIBE VIEW "adults";
```
Both Python calls execute SQL through the query-backed job adapter and
wait on the resulting query. A job handle uses that query's `id` and
type `query`; reading metadata consumes its completed result rather than
resubmitting the DDL. Creation returns the definition from the creating
execution, with no extra describe request.
