fix(query): support update over parted tables and prevent column duplication by:

[belowzeroff]

What a user sees today

Two distinct update failures hit tables loaded from a partitioned database with .db.parted.get — and one hits any table using update with by:.

1. Updating an existing column of a parted table crashes

(set trades (.db.parted.get "/data/market" 'trades))
(update {v: (+ v 100) from: trades})          ;; error
(update {v: 5 from: trades})                  ;; error
(update {v: 99 from: trades where: (> k 1)})  ;; error

Every modifier of an existing column aborts the script:

• plain / scalar broadcast →
  error: type: update: expression type I64 does not match ? column
• where:-masked write →
  error: type: vec_new: type must be a positive concrete vector type, got ?
• grouped by: write →
  error: type: group: argument must be a vector or list, got ?

Adding a new column ({new_col: ...}) worked, so the failure looked
inconsistent and was hard to diagnose. Root cause: parted data columns carry
the RAY_PARTED_BASE wrapper type (printed as ?) plus a MAPCOMMON partition
key; the update pipeline read them through ray_vec_new / ray_data / the
per-group gather, none of which understands the parted/segmented shape.
select already handled this by materialising parted columns — update now
flattens the input table once instead of failing.

2. update ... by: silently does nothing to the target column

(update {w: (sum v) from: T by: k})   ;; T already has column w

The query "succeeds" (no error) but appears to produce no change: the
aggregate is appended as a duplicate column, so the schema becomes
[k v w w], (key T) suddenly lists the column twice, and (at T 'w)
keeps returning the stale original values. Affects flat tables too —
not just parted ones. Root cause: ray_table_add_col always appends, and
the by: branch never skipped the source columns that the update dict
replaces.

Fix

• ray_update flattens a parted input once through
  query_materialize_parted_col (mirroring select), so every branch below
  sees wrapper-free vectors.
• The by: branch skips source columns that the update dict replaces when
  copying the initial schema, so the aggregate lands as the single (correct)
  target column. Aggregates now broadcast to every row of their group (kdb
  by: semantics).

Tests

• New test/rfl/query/update_parted.rfl — regression for the parted cases
  (modify / scalar / where / by: / mixed add+modify / in-place) with flat
  oracles.
• test/rfl/query/query_update_coverage.rfl — corrected by: expectations
  (the old test passed for the wrong reason: it read the duplicate original
  column).

Full suite: ./rayforce.test passes (exit 0).

[singaraiona]

The parted-table materialization is a sensible reuse of the existing helper, and the focused cases look good. I found three issues to address before merge:

1. test/rfl/query/update_parted.rfl:93 calls (exit 0). rayforce.test evaluates this file inside the test-runner process, so this terminates the entire runner before it records this test or executes later tests. A filtered run prints only the test name and exits successfully; removing the line produces the normal PASS summary. This can mask later failures while leaving CI green.

2. src/ops/query.c:11412-11437 skips replaced columns and appends them later. That removes duplicate names, but it also changes schema order: updating v in [k v w] produces [k w v], and updating k produces [v w k]. Existing targets should be substituted in their original slots; only genuinely new columns should be appended. Please add a regression where the updated target is not last.

3. Empty grouped updates lose the target type. For an empty table with k:I64, v:F64, w:F64, (update {w: (sum v) from: E by: k}) returns w:I64. With no groups, first_group never retypes the provisional I64 output. Please preserve or infer the type for the zero-group case and add a regression.
