fix: preserve non-stable row IDs from later fragments

[lance-gatefixer]

Summary

• decode non-stable row IDs into fragment IDs and row offsets before range validation
• validate offsets against each fragment's physical row count
• cover point lookups into later fragments with an end-to-end SQL regression test

Root cause

The take path treated non-stable row addresses as contiguous dataset offsets and compared them with the dataset's total live row count. Because later-fragment addresses encode the fragment ID in their high 32 bits, valid addresses were filtered out before reaching Lance.

Validation

• uv run make format-check
• cargo check --manifest-path Cargo.toml
• cargo clippy --manifest-path Cargo.toml --all-targets
• ./build/debug/test/unittest "test/sql/scan_rowid_in.test"
• ./build/debug/test/unittest "test/sql/scan_rowid_native.test"
• GEN=ninja make test_debug (all 4,152 SQL assertions passed; six environment-gated tests skipped; the debug harness subsequently reported repository-wide LeakSanitizer leaks at process exit)

Fixes #239

❌ Gate recommendation: request changes.

The per-fragment address model is the right direction, but validation must use Lance-authoritative physical row counts for legacy manifests; cached manifest counts are intentionally absent or untrusted there.

A viable revision should resolve only referenced fragments through the Lance FileFragment::physical_rows() fallback (and can binary-search the sorted manifest rather than allocating a full-fragment map), then preserve the current downstream deletion filtering.

[lance-gatekeeper]

unwrap_or_default() silently drops every valid row address in a legacy fragment whose physical_rows is absent, and trusting the cached value is also unsafe when manifest.writer_version is absent. Lance v9's FileFragment::physical_rows() deliberately opens file metadata in these cases because early manifests can contain missing or incorrect counts; the downstream take_rows path can otherwise read these rows correctly.

Please validate the referenced fragments with that authoritative fallback and propagate metadata errors. Since Manifest::fragments is sorted by ID, this can also avoid building a HashMap for every fragment on every point lookup.

Reproducer run against this head

I added this isolated unit test in a disposable worktree:

            "id",
            DataType::Int64,
            false,
        )]));
        let batch = RecordBatch::try_new(
            schema.clone(),
            vec![Arc::new(Int64Array::from(vec![10_i64, 20]))],
        )
        .unwrap();
        let batches = RecordBatchIterator::new([Ok(batch)], schema);
        let params = WriteParams {
            max_rows_per_file: 1,
            ..Default::default()
        };
        let mut dataset = runtime::block_on(Dataset::write(
            batches,

            Some(params),
        ))

        .unwrap();

        let manifest = Arc::make_mut(&mut dataset.manifest);
        manifest.writer_version = None;
        for fragment in Arc::make_mut(&mut manifest.fragments) {
            fragment.physical_rows = None;
        }

        let handle = Box::new(DatasetHandle::new(Arc::new(dataset)));
        let handle_ptr = Box::into_raw(handle) as *mut c_void;
        let row_ids = [1_u64 << 32];
        let stream = create_dataset_take_stream_inner(
            handle_ptr,
            row_ids.as_ptr(),
            row_ids.len(),
            std::ptr::null(),
            0,
            true,
        )
        .unwrap();
        unsafe {
            drop(Box::from_raw(handle_ptr as *mut DatasetHandle));
        }
        let StreamHandle::Batches(mut batches) = stream else {
            panic!("expected batches stream");
        };
        let result = batches.next().unwrap();
        assert_eq!(result.num_rows(), 1, "valid legacy row address was dropped");
    }
}

Addressed in 9a7ad06: referenced fragments are resolved by sorted-ID binary search and validated with Lance’s authoritative FileFragment::physical_rows() fallback; metadata errors propagate as dataset-take failures, and the legacy-manifest reproducer now passes.

[lance-gatekeeper]

⚠️ Gate recommendation: approve with a non-blocking risk.

The revision resolves the legacy-manifest correctness issue by obtaining Lance-authoritative physical row counts only for referenced fragments; the added regression now passes, while missing fragments, out-of-range offsets, stable IDs, deletion filtering, ordering, and error propagation preserve their contracts.

One non-blocking performance risk remains for cold legacy datasets spanning many referenced fragments: metadata reads are awaited serially. If large remote _rowid IN (...) lists are expected on such datasets, buffering those reads to the object-store I/O limit would avoid serial round trips.

[lance-gatefixer]

Addressed in 6d4a15d: referenced-fragment physical_rows() futures are now buffered at Lance’s dataset object-store I/O parallelism limit while preserving sorted result order for binary-search validation.

[lance-gatekeeper]

✅ Gate recommendation: approve.

The revision preserves the authoritative legacy-manifest validation while buffering referenced-fragment metadata reads at Lance's object-store I/O limit. Ordered buffering keeps binary-search lookup and error behavior deterministic, so the earlier correctness and performance concerns are both addressed.
