LanceDB is append-only: every store, delete, and consolidation merge creates new data files without reclaiming space, causing unbounded storage growth. This adds three-phase optimization (compact fragments, prune old versions, rebuild indices) via LanceDB's Table::optimize API. - `sediment compact` CLI command for manual optimization - Automatic background compaction every 50 write operations - Configurable prune duration, thread count, and force mode Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
