   Dug into this a bit with Claude and I'm pleased with the investigation:
   
   The zero-column guard in `adapt_batch_with_expressions` (lines 358-365) is 
necessary and correct.
   
   **Root cause**: When Spark plans a query that only needs row counts (e.g., a 
scalar subquery like `SELECT (SELECT max(id) FROM t) ...`, or internal 
sub-plans of MOR delete/update/merge operations), the `IcebergScanExec` 
receives a target schema with zero fields. iceberg-rust returns  batches with 
zero columns but non-zero row counts. `RecordBatch::try_new` fails in this case 
because with zero columns it can't infer the row count — it needs 
`try_new_with_options` with an explicit `with_row_count`.
   
   **Evidence**: Instrumentation of the failing 
`TestViews.createViewWithSubqueryExpressionInQueryThatIsRewritten` test 
confirmed:
   batch rows=1 cols=0 file_schema_fields=[] target_schema_fields=[]
   batch rows=2 cols=0 file_schema_fields=[] target_schema_fields=[]
   
   Both the file schema and target schema have zero fields. The batches carry 
only row counts and no column data.
   
   Why this appeared in the DF 52 migration: The old DF 51 
`SchemaMapper::map_batch` always used `RecordBatch::try_new_with_options` with 
an explicit row count (with the comment "Necessary to handle empty batches"). 
The DF 52 migration to `PhysicalExprAdapter` moved from batch-level mapping to 
expression-level rewriting, which lost that implicit handling. The guard 
re-adds it.
