fallintoplace opened a new issue, #1119:
URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg-go/issues/1119

   `Scan.PlanFiles()` can skip validation of malformed `rowFilter` expressions 
when the scan is empty.
   
   What I found
   - `fetchPartitionSpecFilteredManifests()` returns early with `nil, nil` when 
there is no snapshot
   - even when there is a snapshot, per-spec manifest evaluators are created 
lazily and only used if there are manifests to iterate
   - other filter binding paths, such as partition projection and metrics 
evaluation, are only reached later in planning
   
   Relevant code
   - `table/scanner.go:466`
   - `table/scanner.go:483`
   - `table/scanner.go:500`
   - `table/scanner.go:586`
   - `table/evaluators.go:684`
   
   Why this matters
   On non-empty scans, invalid filter references normally fail during binding. 
On empty scans, the same malformed filter can be silently ignored because 
planning returns before any binding work is triggered.
   
   Expected behavior
   Malformed scan filters should fail consistently, even when:
   - the table has no current snapshot
   - the snapshot exists but has zero manifests after listing/filtering
   
   Actual behavior
   `PlanFiles()` can return no tasks and no error for malformed filters because 
the binding paths are only reached after manifest discovery.
   
   This does not look like a case-sensitivity bug. The issue seems to be 
validation timing on empty scans.
   
   I did not find an obvious existing issue for this in a quick tracker search.
