   The classifier behind the options. Iceberg's unionByNameWith has no knobs: 
it adds, relaxes and promotes in one go, or throws. To honour 
ALLOW_FIELD_ADDITION / ALLOW_FIELD_RELAXATION / ALLOW_TYPE_PROMOTION 
separately, SchemaDelta.classify(table, fileSchema) applies the union on a 
throwaway UpdateSchema (apply(), never commit()), diffs the result against the 
current table schema, and labels every change:
   
   - FIELD_ADDITION: a field id present only after the union.
   - FIELD_RELAXATION: required before, optional after; or a required table 
column with no counterpart in the file at all (see below).
   - TYPE_PROMOTION: same id, wider primitive type after.
   - CONFLICT: anything else. The union throwing (ValidationException or 
IllegalArgumentException, e.g. int column vs string file column, a dotted or 
empty file column name), a field removed by the union (cannot happen with 
unionByName but is refused rather than trusted), a struct where a primitive 
was, a doc string or default changing, a promotion Iceberg would not allow 
(TypeUtil.isPromotionAllowed guard, so a bad union result is never staged as a 
"promotion").
   
   The diff is keyed by field id and walks fields attribute by attribute (name, 
optionality, type kind, doc, defaults), so an attribute the union silently 
changes is reported rather than committed unnoticed. Changes are listed in a 
deterministic order (unquoted path) with quoted names in messages so a reviewer 
can find them in the schema.
   
   Absence rule: a required table column that the file lacks is a 
FIELD_RELAXATION, not a pass. Registering such a file would put nulls in a 
required column for every reader; the fix is to relax the column explicitly 
(the commit side stages makeColumnOptional for exactly the paths 
absentRequiredPaths() reports). The walk descends through structs whose parent 
is present, through list elements and map values (paths use "element" and 
"value", which makeColumnOptional accepts); an absent struct is itself the 
relaxation, its children are not listed separately; map keys are required by 
definition and skipped.
   
   Pins: Change.allowedBy(config) refuses a relaxation of a pinned path even 
when ALLOW_FIELD_RELAXATION is set, and disallowedReason(config) names it, so 
"id is pinned" shows up as the reason rather than a generic "relaxation not 
allowed".
