Prashanth Rao 76bcc78910 docs: nodejs failing CI is fixed (#2802)
Fixes the breaking CI for nodejs, related to the documentation of the
new Permutation API in typescript.

- Expanded the generated typings in `nodejs/lancedb/native.d.ts` to
include `SplitCalculatedOptions`, `splitNames` fields, and the
persist/options-based `splitCalculated` methods so the permutation
exports match the native API.
- The previous block comment block had an inconsistency.
`splitCalculated` takes an options object (`SplitCalculatedOptions`) in
our bindings, not a bare string. The previous example showed
`builder.splitCalculated("user_id % 3");`, which doesn’t match the
actual signature and would fail TS typecheck. I updated the comment to
`builder.splitCalculated({ calculation: "user_id % 3" });` so the
example is now correct.
- Updated the `splitCalculated` example in
`nodejs/lancedb/permutation.ts` to use the options object.
- Ran `npm docs` to ensure docs build correctly.

> [!NOTE]
> **Disclaimer**: I used GPT-5.1-Codex-Max to make these updates, but I
have read the code and run `npm run docs` to verify that they work and
are correct to the best of my knowledge.

# Class: PermutationBuilder
A PermutationBuilder for creating data permutations with splits, shuffling, and filtering.
This class provides a TypeScript wrapper around the native Rust PermutationBuilder,
offering methods to configure data splits, shuffling, and filtering before executing
the permutation to create a new table.
## Methods
### execute()
```ts
execute(): Promise<Table>
```
Execute the permutation and create the destination table.
#### Returns
`Promise`&lt;[`Table`](Table.md)&gt;
A Promise that resolves to the new Table instance
#### Example
```ts
const permutationTable = await builder.execute();
console.log(`Created table: ${permutationTable.name}`);
```
***
### filter()
```ts
filter(filter): PermutationBuilder
```
Configure filtering for the permutation.
#### Parameters
* **filter**: `string`
SQL filter expression
#### Returns
[`PermutationBuilder`](PermutationBuilder.md)
A new PermutationBuilder instance
#### Example
```ts
builder.filter("age > 18 AND status = 'active'");
```
***
### persist()
```ts
persist(connection, tableName): PermutationBuilder
```
Configure the permutation to be persisted.
#### Parameters
* **connection**: [`Connection`](Connection.md)
The connection to persist the permutation to
* **tableName**: `string`
The name of the table to create
#### Returns
[`PermutationBuilder`](PermutationBuilder.md)
A new PermutationBuilder instance
#### Example
```ts
builder.persist(connection, "permutation_table");
```
***
### shuffle()
```ts
shuffle(options): PermutationBuilder
```
Configure shuffling for the permutation.
#### Parameters
* **options**: [`ShuffleOptions`](../interfaces/ShuffleOptions.md)
Configuration for shuffling
#### Returns
[`PermutationBuilder`](PermutationBuilder.md)
A new PermutationBuilder instance
#### Example
```ts
// Basic shuffle
builder.shuffle({ seed: 42 });
// Shuffle with clump size
builder.shuffle({ seed: 42, clumpSize: 10 });
```
***
### splitCalculated()
```ts
splitCalculated(options): PermutationBuilder
```
Configure calculated splits for the permutation.
#### Parameters
* **options**: [`SplitCalculatedOptions`](../interfaces/SplitCalculatedOptions.md)
Configuration for calculated splitting
#### Returns
[`PermutationBuilder`](PermutationBuilder.md)
A new PermutationBuilder instance
#### Example
```ts
builder.splitCalculated({ calculation: "user_id % 3" });
```
***
### splitHash()
```ts
splitHash(options): PermutationBuilder
```
Configure hash-based splits for the permutation.
#### Parameters
* **options**: [`SplitHashOptions`](../interfaces/SplitHashOptions.md)
Configuration for hash-based splitting
#### Returns
[`PermutationBuilder`](PermutationBuilder.md)
A new PermutationBuilder instance
#### Example
```ts
builder.splitHash({
columns: ["user_id"],
splitWeights: [70, 30],
discardWeight: 0
});
```
***
### splitRandom()
```ts
splitRandom(options): PermutationBuilder
```
Configure random splits for the permutation.
#### Parameters
* **options**: [`SplitRandomOptions`](../interfaces/SplitRandomOptions.md)
Configuration for random splitting
#### Returns
[`PermutationBuilder`](PermutationBuilder.md)
A new PermutationBuilder instance
#### Example
```ts
// Split by ratios
builder.splitRandom({ ratios: [0.7, 0.3], seed: 42 });
// Split by counts
builder.splitRandom({ counts: [1000, 500], seed: 42 });
// Split with fixed size
builder.splitRandom({ fixed: 100, seed: 42 });
```
***
### splitSequential()
```ts
splitSequential(options): PermutationBuilder
```
Configure sequential splits for the permutation.
#### Parameters
* **options**: [`SplitSequentialOptions`](../interfaces/SplitSequentialOptions.md)
Configuration for sequential splitting
#### Returns
[`PermutationBuilder`](PermutationBuilder.md)
A new PermutationBuilder instance
#### Example
```ts
// Split by ratios
builder.splitSequential({ ratios: [0.8, 0.2] });
// Split by counts
builder.splitSequential({ counts: [800, 200] });
// Split with fixed size
builder.splitSequential({ fixed: 1000 });
```
