For example, delete arrow arrays once they have been decoded.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR centralizes Arrow value extraction, changes byte-array values to owning strings, makes slice extraction consume stored arrays, handles absent slice columns, and updates std::string_view parameters to pass by value across the API.

Changes

Decoder and slice extraction

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Owning values and shared decoding include/mzpeak/util/types.h, include/mzpeak/util/decoders.h, include/mzpeak/util/algorithm.h, src/util/executor.cpp, src/util/planner.cpp, include/mzpeak/data/null_marking.h	Byte-array values now use std::string. Decoder and statistics paths use shared value extraction and conversion helpers.
Consuming slice extraction and decoding include/mzpeak/util/slice.h, src/util/slice.cpp, include/mzpeak/data/encoding.h, include/mzpeak/data/transformer/primary.h, test/executor_test.cpp	Slice extraction removes consumed arrays. Decoding returns when a schema column is absent from the slice. Executor tests validate projected columns.
String-view API normalization include/mzpeak/schema/*, src/schema/*, include/mzpeak/util/{manager,parquet,projection}.h, src/util/{manager,parquet,projection}.cpp, include/mzpeak/{index.h,data/signals.h,metadata/table.h}, src/{index.cpp,data/signals.cpp}	String-view parameters now pass by value across public declarations and implementations.
Resource and error boundaries src/io/zip.cpp, src/metadata/table.cpp	ZipFile_::Impl is non-copyable. Missing metadata groups now raise InvalidFormatError.

Poem

A rabbit reads the decoder’s trail,
Owning strings ride every rail.
Slices yield what they contain,
Views pass cleanly through the chain.
Arrow values hop with care—
Tests confirm the columns there.

41-63: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add string-view query input support.

Query::Builder predicate methods constrain the deduced T to supported_type. std::string_view and string literals therefore fail to compile as query values. Convert these inputs to std::string before storing them in any_value_type.

Test the consuming and owning-value contracts.

The tests check has_column only before Slice::array consumes the column. Add assertions that the column is absent after decoding. Add a byte-array test that decodes std::string values after Arrow storage is released.
