Chris LuandClaude Opus 5.5 e2826c48bd s3tables: make the vector namespace of a vector bucket read-only (#12292)
* s3tables: make the vector namespace of a vector bucket read-only

S3 Vectors authorizes index operations against the vector bucket policy,
but an index is also a catalog table in the bucket's "vector" namespace,
and the S3 Tables API only checks s3tables grants. A caller the vector
policy denies DeleteIndex could still delete the index, and its data,
with DeleteTable.

Untrusted writes that name the vector namespace of a LANCE bucket now run
behind a fence that passes filer reads and refuses filer writes. The
operation's own checks still answer everything short of a write, so a
caller without the grant gets its usual denial and learns nothing about
the bucket, and a CreateTable that finds the index already there, which
is what the vector engine's declare does, still succeeds. A refused write
answers 403 AccessDenied. Trusted callers (the gateway, the shell) are
unaffected, and so is a namespace named vector in an Iceberg bucket.

* lance: refuse register and deregister in a vector bucket's vector namespace

Every catalog write the Lance namespace makes goes through the S3 Tables
handler and its vector namespace fence, but register over an existing
table at the same location and deregister only add or remove a marker
file in the dataset directory. Check the vector namespace before those
writes, after the table read that already gates them.

* s3tables: refuse deferred creates in a vector bucket's vector namespace

Manager.AuthorizeCreateTable gates the Iceberg create paths that write
metadata into the table bucket before the catalog registers the table.
Those writes never pass the handler's fence, so the gate applies the same
read-only rule once the caller's own create permission is confirmed.

* s3tables: let a declare of an existing index past the vector namespace fence

The vector engine declares every index the gateway has just created, and
that CreateTable only reaches its idempotent path. Upstream that path
writes nothing, so the fence never trips, but a build whose idempotent
path repairs table state would refuse the engine. Decide the exception
up front instead: a CreateTable naming a finished index in the vector
namespace runs unfenced, while a new name or an unfinished create stays
fenced.
