Index metadata APIs now resolve stored field ids back to Lance canonical field paths instead of leaf names, so nested indexes such as
metadata.user_idand escaped literal-dot fields round-trip throughlist_indices(). Native index creation also canonicalizes the input path before handing it to Lance, keeping local metadata consistent with the field-path contract while remote responses continue to expose server-provided canonical columns.Fixes #3403.
