fix(optimize): skip blob-bearing tables to avoid Lance compaction crash (#138)
* test(optimize): pin Lance blob-column compaction failure as a surface guard

Lance compact_files mis-decodes blob-v2 columns under its forced BlobHandling::AllBinary read ("more fields in the schema than provided column indices"), failing even a pristine uniform-V2_2 multi-fragment blob table; reads use descriptor handling and are unaffected.

Guard 10 reproduces this and is self-retiring: it turns red on the Lance bump that fixes the bug, forcing LANCE_SUPPORTS_BLOB_COMPACTION to flip.

* fix(optimize): skip blob-bearing tables instead of crashing compaction

omnigraph optimize aborted the whole sweep when any node/edge table had a Blob property: Lance compact_files cannot decode blob-v2 columns under AllBinary (the column-index error pinned by the surface guard). Skip blob-bearing tables behind a LANCE_SUPPORTS_BLOB_COMPACTION gate and report them via TableOptimizeStats.skipped / SkipReason (surfaced in the CLI and a tracing::warn) instead of erroring, which also isolates the failure so the other tables still compact.

Reads/writes are unaffected; only fragment/space reclamation on blob tables is deferred until the upstream Lance fix. Adds a maintenance.rs regression test (validated red with the column-index symptom before the fix, green after), a concise v0.6.1 release note, and updates docs (maintenance, cli-reference, AGENTS capability matrix, invariants Known Gaps, lance.md audit, constants).

* refactor(optimize): make TableOptimizeStats and SkipReason non_exhaustive

Both are returned result types, never built by callers, so #[non_exhaustive] makes this the last field/variant addition that can break downstream literal construction and keeps future ones non-breaking (review feedback on the public-field addition). The v0.6.1 Compatibility Notes call out the source-level change.

Also drops the now-stale "RED today / GREEN after the fix lands" narration in the optimize_skips_blob_table_and_reports_skip test (historical regression context now that the fix is in this branch), and folds in the expanded v0.6.1 release note.

* chore(release): bump workspace to v0.6.1

Coherent version bump to accompany the v0.6.1 release note: all five crate manifests + path-dependency constraints, Cargo.lock, the AGENTS.md surveyed-version line, and openapi.json info.version move 0.6.0 -> 0.6.1. Matches the established release pattern (#118 landed the v0.6.0 note + bump together) and resolves the Codex/Devin review flag that a v0.6.1 note without a bump leaves CARGO_PKG_VERSION reporting 0.6.0 and mixed package versions.

# Maintenance: Optimize & Cleanup
`db/omnigraph/optimize.rs`.
## `optimize_all_tables(db)` — non-destructive
- Lance `compact_files()` on every node + edge table on `main`.
- Rewrites small fragments into fewer large ones; old fragments remain reachable via older manifests.
- Bounded by `OMNIGRAPH_MAINTENANCE_CONCURRENCY` (default 8).
- Returns `[TableOptimizeStats { table_key, fragments_removed, fragments_added, committed, skipped }]`.
- **Blob tables are skipped.** A table that declares any `Blob` property is not compacted: it is reported with `skipped: Some(BlobColumnsUnsupportedByLance)` (and logged via `tracing::warn`) instead of compacted, and the rest of the sweep proceeds normally. The current Lance `compact_files` mis-decodes blob-v2 columns under its forced `BlobHandling::AllBinary` read; **reads and writes are unaffected** — only compaction is. This is gated by `LANCE_SUPPORTS_BLOB_COMPACTION` (`db/omnigraph/optimize.rs`) and removed when the upstream Lance fix lands (see [docs/dev/lance.md](../dev/lance.md)). Consequence: fragment count and deleted-row space on blob tables are not reclaimed until then; query results are never affected.
## `cleanup_all_tables(db, options)` — destructive
- Lance `cleanup_old_versions()` per table.
- Removes manifests (and their unique fragments) older than the retention policy.
- `CleanupPolicyOptions { keep_versions: Option<u32>, older_than: Option<Duration> }` — at least one is required.
- Returns `[TableCleanupStats { table_key, bytes_removed, old_versions_removed, error }]`.
- **Fault-isolated per table.** A single table's transient failure (version GC or
orphan reclaim) is recorded on that table's stats row (`error: Some(..)`, logged
via `tracing`) and never aborts the healthy tables — cleanup is the convergence
backstop, so it does as much as it can and converges on re-run. The CLI reports
any failed tables; rerun `cleanup` to retry them.
- CLI guards with `--confirm`; without it, prints a preview line.
- **Recovery floor:** `--keep < 3` may garbage-collect Lance versions that the open-time recovery sweep needs as a rollback target (the sweep restores to the branch's manifest-pinned table version, which is HEAD-1 in the typical Phase B → Phase C drift case). Default `--keep 10` is safe.
- **Orphaned-branch reconciliation:** before the version GC, cleanup runs `reconcile_orphaned_branches`, which `force_delete_branch`es any per-table or commit-graph Lance branch absent from the manifest branch list. These orphans arise when a `branch_delete` flips the manifest authority but a downstream best-effort reclaim does not complete (see [branches-commits.md](branches-commits.md)). The reconciler is authority-derived and idempotent (it no-ops once nothing is orphaned), runs regardless of the `keep_versions` / `older_than` values (those gate version GC only), and never reclaims `main` or system-branch forks. Reclaimed forks are logged via `tracing::info`.
## Tombstones
Logical sub-table delete markers in `__manifest`; `tombstone_object_id(table_key, version)` excludes a sub-table version from snapshot reconstruction.
## Internal schema migrations (`db/manifest/migrations.rs`)
Version evolutions of the on-disk `__manifest` shape are reconciled automatically on the first write under a new binary. `INTERNAL_MANIFEST_SCHEMA_VERSION` declares the shape the binary expects; the on-disk stamp `omnigraph:internal_schema_version` (Lance schema-level metadata) records the on-disk shape. The publisher's open-for-write path calls `migrate_internal_schema` before reading state; reads are side-effect-free. No operator action is required for in-place upgrades. See [storage.md → Internal schema versioning](storage.md) for the full mechanism.
A binary opening a manifest stamped at a version *higher* than it knows about refuses to publish with a clear "upgrade omnigraph first" error — old binaries cannot clobber a newer schema.
