Research direction

Start by reproducing the Unity Server Delta table registration, then run SHOW ALL TABLES through DuckDB and capture the decimal-related error. Trace the decimal type handling and pending query failure across the catalog-to-DuckDB path. Done means decimal columns are recognized and the table list succeeds.
