Description

Unclear if this is a regression but it is fixable. The 2.0 encoding should not panic if the compression is set to fsst and the data type is binary.

Research direction

Start by locating the Lance 2.0 encoding path that handles forced fsst compression and binary data. Reproduce the panic with binary input and fsst selected, then verify that encoding completes without panicking for that combination.
