Summary

• exercise repeated Blob V2 reads from an additional base across two fragments
• assert the session registry resolves that base only once, protecting the dataset-scoped object store and its connection pool from per-call teardown
• retain coverage for inline, packed, and dedicated blobs on non-default bases

Root cause

The object store registry intentionally keeps only weak references. Before the dataset-scoped additional-base cache added in #8530, the blob read context's per-call Arc<ObjectStore> was the only strong owner, so dropping each read also dropped the HTTP client and connection pool. Current main contains that ownership fix; this PR adds direct regression coverage for the reported Blob V2 path so later changes cannot silently restore per-read store construction.

Validation

• cargo test -p lance test_take_blob_v2_from_non_default_base_inline_reuses_store
• cargo test -p lance test_take_blob_v2_from_non_default_base
• cargo fmt --all
• cargo clippy --all --tests --benches -- -D warnings

Fixes #8692

Blocked: The current-head Rust windows-build Check is failing on an unrelated nondeterministic ANN assertion, and GitHub will not permit its rerun while the parent workflow is still running.

Remote head 2d400da3671400dd4182802042b305fa9598ec98 contains the current main tip 3128c0024427cb5bf8c04d492893ae45e78b0511. In windows-build job 96799343464, the changed test_take_blob_v2_from_non_default_base_inline_reuses_store passed, while unchanged test_ann_with_deletion::data_storage_version_2_LanceFileVersion__Stable::stable_row_ids_2_true returned {0,1,2,3,6} instead of {0,1,2,3,4}; all four parameterizations pass locally and the repair diff does not touch scanner/index code. A targeted rerun was attempted, but GitHub reports that the job cannot be rerun while downstream linux-build keeps run 32491301654 active. Once that run completes, rerun failed job 96799343464; alternatively rerun the Rust workflow for this head.

✅ Gate recommendation: approve.

This adds a focused regression guard for Blob V2 reads from an additional base. The repeated-read registry assertion protects dataset-scoped store ownership across two fragments, while the shared fixture retains inline, packed, dedicated, and data-only-base coverage.

[Xuanwo]

Approves the test-only regression after merging current main. The fixture exercises two fragments and repeated public Blob reads while retaining packed, dedicated, and data-only coverage. The file:// fixture and registry-attempt assertion intentionally cover store resolution, not network connection reuse. Full applicable CI and Gatekeeper pass on this head.
