Document Snapshot Summary Optional Fields for Standardization

[HonahX]

Proposed Change

The proposal introduces a new section in the table spec under Snapshots to document optional fields in the snapshot summary, including metrics, partition-level summaries, and other fields such as Write-Audit-Publish (WAP)-related fields and ReplacePartitions indicators. The goal is to establish a clear standard for these fields, ensuring consistent naming and usage across implementations while reducing ambiguity and improving compatibility.
