     new ee62f7a2 Enforce DataFrame display memory limits with `max_rows` + 
`min_rows` constraint (deprecate `repr_rows`) (#1367)
ee62f7a2 is described below

commit ee62f7a26d178995a497c081625b8f5ccc5a82fd
Author: kosiew <[email protected]>
AuthorDate: Thu Feb 5 20:09:25 2026 +0800

    Enforce DataFrame display memory limits with `max_rows` + `min_rows` 
constraint (deprecate `repr_rows`) (#1367)
    
    * Update DataFrameHtmlFormatter to enforce min_rows_display constraint and 
adjust default values
    
    * Refactor DataFrame formatter to replace repr_rows with max_rows and 
update related validations
    
    * Add validation for formatter parameters and deprecate repr_rows alias
    
    * Add boundary condition tests for HTML formatter memory limits and resolve 
max_rows logic
    
    * Remove repr_rows handling in max_rows resolution in Rust
    
    * Refactor whitespace in parameter validation and update test for HTML 
formatter memory limits
    
    * ruff fix
    
    * Rename min_rows_display to min_rows in formatter configuration and update 
related tests
    
    * Refactor function parameter handling and documentation
    
    Removed type annotations and redundant default values
    from parameter names. Enhanced descriptions for clarity
    and added context for usage. Fixed formatting for the
    documentation sections to improve readability.
    
    * Update HTML formatter memory boundary tests for large datasets
    
    * Enhance memory boundary tests in HTML formatter for large datasets
    
    * Add fixture for multi-batch DataFrame and test early stream termination 
with memory limits
    
    * Add backward compatibility tests for deprecated formatter attributes
    
    * ruff fix
    
    * Remove deprecation timeline comments from HTML formatter backward 
compatibility test
