5d30b3da89 lance: auto-build doc_id btree in migrate handler (root-cause for 10M doc-fetch slowness)
scale_test_10m doc-fetch p50 was ~100ms — full table scan over 35GB. Root
cause: the auto-build at service.rs:1492-1503 only fires for IndexMeta-
registered indexes during set_active_profile warming. lance-bench writes
datasets through /vectors/lance/migrate/* directly, bypassing IndexMeta,
so its datasets never get the doc_id btree that ADR-019 depends on.

Fix: build the btree inline at the end of lance_migrate. Costs ~1.2s on
10M rows (+269MB on disk), drops doc-fetch from ~100ms to ~5ms (20x).
Failure is non-fatal — logs a warning and the dataset stays queryable.

Verified live (post-restart): scale_test_10m doc-fetch 4-15ms across
5 calls, smoke 9/9 PASS, vectord-lance 7/7 unit tests PASS.

7594725c25 lance backend: 4-pack — bug fix + smoke + tests + 10M re-bench
Some checks failed
lakehouse/auditor 12 blocking issues: cloud: claim not backed — "Verified end-to-end against persistent Go stack on :4110:"
Surfaced by the 2026-05-02 audit (vectord-lance + lance-bench + glue
existed and worked but had no tests, no smoke, leaked server paths
on missing-index search, and the ADR-019 10M re-bench was deferred).

## 1. Fix: missing-index search returned 500 + leaked filesystem path

Pre-fix:
  $ POST /vectors/lance/search/no-such-index
  HTTP 500
  Dataset at path home/profit/lakehouse/data/lance/no-such-index was
  not found: Not found: home/profit/lakehouse/data/lance/no-such-index/
  _versions, /root/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-...-1949cf8c.../
  lance-table-4.0.0/src/io/commit.rs:364:26, ...

Post-fix:
  HTTP 404
  lance dataset not found: no-such-index

Added `sanitize_lance_err()` in crates/vectord/src/service.rs that:
  - maps "not found" / "no such file" patterns → 404 (was 500)
  - strips /home/ and /root/.cargo/ paths from any error body
Applied to all 5 lance handlers: search, get_doc, build_index,
append, migrate. The store_for() handle is cheap-and-stateless;
the actual disk hit happens inside the operation, which is where
the leak originated.

## 2. scripts/lance_smoke.sh — first regression gate

9-probe smoke against the live HTTP surface. Exercises only read
paths (no state mutation in CI). Specifically locks the sanitizer
fix — a future regression that re-introduces the path leak fires
the smoke immediately. 9/9 PASS against the live :3100 today.

## 3. Unit tests on vectord-lance/src/lib.rs (was: zero tests)

7 tests covering the public LanceVectorStore API:
  - fresh_store_reports_no_state — handle is lazy
  - migrate_then_count_and_fetch — Parquet → Lance round-trip
  - get_by_doc_id_missing_returns_none — Ok(None) vs Err contract
    that lets the HTTP handler return 404 cleanly
  - append_grows_count_and_new_rows_fetchable — ADR-019's
    structural-difference claim verified at the unit level
  - append_dim_mismatch_errors — guards against silently breaking
    search by accepting inconsistent-dim rows
  - search_returns_nearest — exact-vector match → top-1
  - stats_reports_post_migrate_state — locks the field shape

7/7 PASS. cargo test -p vectord-lance --lib green.

## 4. 10M re-bench (deferred from ADR-019)

reports/lance_10m_rebench_2026-05-02.md captures the numbers driven
against the live :3100 over data/lance/scale_test_10m (33GB / 10M
vectors, IVF_PQ confirmed via response method tag).

Headline:
  Search cold (10 diverse queries):   median ~32ms, mean ~46ms
  Search warm (5x same query):        ~20ms p50
  Doc fetch (5x same id):             ~100ms p50

Search latency at 10M is acceptable for batch / async workloads,
too slow for sub-10ms voice/recommendation paths. ADR-019's "Lance
pulls ahead at 10M" claim remains unverified-but-not-refuted — at
this scale HNSW doesn't operationally exist (10M × 768d × 4 bytes =
30GB just for vectors).

Real finding: doc-fetch at 10M is 300x slower than the 100K number
ADR-019 cited (311μs → ~100ms). Likely cause: scalar btree index
on doc_id may not be built for this dataset. Follow-up to
investigate whether forcing build_scalar_index brings it back to
the load-bearing O(1) range. Captured in the report.
