Highlights of Recent PRs

db#7785 feat: export import v2 pr1

Adds the export-v2 and import-v2 commands with snapshot manifest and schema metadata handling. Initial support for DDL export/import over URI-based storage backends.

db#7754 test(fuzz): add metric table repartition fuzz target

New fuzz tests for metric table repartition operations. These cover edge cases where partition reorganization under load could cause data corruption or query failures.

db#7545 feat: use dyn filter

Pushes dynamic filters from sort operators down to region scanners, so ORDER BY ... LIMIT queries on non-indexed timestamp columns skip unnecessary data reads. In one benchmark, a 28-second query dropped to 0.2 seconds — roughly 700x faster.

db#7799 refactor: unify flush and compaction to always use FlatSource

Flush and compaction now share a single Arrow RecordBatch processing path. This removes duplicate code paths that could produce inconsistent SST file generation.

db#7797 fix: rm useless analyzer

Removed unnecessary query analyzers from the flow query pipeline that were causing bugs.
