This is an automated cherry-pick of #11195

What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #11194

Problem Summary: Some invalid binary JSON inputs are not handled correctly.

What is changed and how it works?

Improve binary JSON input validation and add regression tests.

Check List

• Unit test (15 related tests passed)

Release note

Fix unexpected behavior with invalid binary JSON input.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved handling of binary JSON data when object keys or numeric values are incomplete, so invalid data is rejected instead of being read past its available contents.
  • Binary JSON values with complete object keys and numeric data continue to serialize as expected.
• Tests
  • Added coverage for valid JSON serialization and incomplete object keys and numeric values, including checks that truncated data raises an error.

Walkthrough

Binary JSON key and numeric-value slices now use getSubRef, with tests for truncated inputs. A schema-sync failpoint can provide dropped-table metadata when table info is absent. A new test checks tombstone storage creation; an existing fullstack test for a dropped-table scenario is removed.

Changes: Binary JSON bounds validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Bounded key and numeric slices dbms/src/TiDB/Decode/JsonBinary.cpp, dbms/src/TiDB/tests/gtest_json_binary.cpp	getObjectKey and getValueEntry use getSubRef for their slices. Tests check valid JSON serialization and expect exceptions for truncated object keys and numeric values.

Dropped-table schema sync

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Injected dropped-table metadata for schema sync dbms/src/Common/FailPoint.cpp, dbms/src/TiDB/Schema/SchemaBuilder.cpp, dbms/src/TiDB/Schema/tests/gtest_schema_sync.cpp, tests/fullstack-test2/ddl/alter_drop_table.test	The new failpoint is registered and used by applyTable when force is true and table info is null. The schema-sync test verifies tombstone storage creation using injected StateDeleteOnly metadata. The fullstack test for a dropped-table tombstone scenario is removed.

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title check		The title clearly describes the binary JSON validation change and regression tests, which are the stated primary objectives.
Description check		The description covers the problem, change, unit testing, and release note. It omits the template’s Side effects and Documentation sections, but the description is otherwise mostly complete.
Linked Issues check		The only directly linked issue is #11194, which is closed. It supplies historical context only. No active linked issue imposes coding requirements.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The PR description limits the change to binary JSON validation. The binary JSON changes and regression tests match that scope. The PR also adds a schema-sync failpoint, behavior, and test, and removes a separate schema-sync fullstack test. The supplied change summary and the diff for tests/fullstack-test2/ddl/alter_drop_table.test show no connection between these schema-sync changes and binary JSON validation.

Resolution

Remove the unrelated schema-sync failpoint, implementation and test changes, and restore the removed schema-sync fullstack test, unless the PR scope is updated to establish their connection to the binary JSON objective.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 2 functions across 5 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

_{A rabbit checks each key and byte,
And tests the bounds from left to right.
A dropped-table mark is set in place,
Tombstone storage joins the trace.
The burrow’s schema sync is tight,
Then hops away into the night.}
