Replace the old INSERT INTO t(rowid) VALUES('command') hack with a
proper hidden command column named after the table (FTS5 pattern):
INSERT INTO t(t) VALUES ('oversample=16')
The command column is the first hidden column (before distance and k)
to reserve ability for future table-valued function argument use.
Schema: CREATE TABLE x(rowid, <cols>, "<table>" hidden, distance hidden, k hidden)
For backwards compat, pre-v0.1.10 tables (detected via _info shadow
table version) skip the command column to avoid name conflicts with
user columns that may share the table's name. Verified with legacy
fixture DB generated by sqlite-vec v0.1.6.
Changes:
- Add hidden command column to sqlite3_declare_vtab for new tables
- Version-gate via _info shadow table for existing tables
- Validate at CREATE time that no column name matches table name
- Add rescore_handle_command() with oversample=N support
- rescore_knn() prefers runtime oversample_search over CREATE default
- Remove old rowid-based command dispatch
- Migrate all DiskANN/IVF/fuzz tests and benchmarks to new syntax
- Add legacy DB fixture (v0.1.6) and 9 backwards-compat tests

New benchmarks-ann/bench-delete/ directory measures KNN recall
degradation after random row deletion across index types (flat,
rescore, IVF, DiskANN). For each config and delete percentage:
builds index, measures baseline recall, copies DB, deletes random
rows, measures post-delete recall, VACUUMs and records size savings.
Includes Makefile targets, self-contained smoke test with synthetic
data, and results DB for analysis.
