Start with the upstream metadata table implementation in crates/integrations/datafusion/src/table/metadata_table.rs, then trace this repository’s catalog and schema resolution for the $ table names. Verify that SQL can resolve table$snapshots, table$manifests, and table$history and expose their metadata scans.
