* fix: Avoid redundant _get_max_timestamp query in _compute_for_feature_view

Move the _get_max_timestamp call to compute_metrics and pass the result
into _compute_for_feature_view, eliminating a duplicate data-source query
per feature view.

* chore: Remove unused hermeto offline tree and sdist requirement locks (feast-dev#6987)

* chore: Remove unused multicloud hermeto offline build tree

Drop sdk/python/feast/infra/feature_servers/multicloud/offline/, which only
supported local hermeto/arrow-from-source and RPM lock offline image builds
and is unused by Makefile CI, GitHub Actions, or the standard feature-server
Dockerfiles. Also clear related .secrets.baseline entries.

* chore: Drop unused minimal-sdist requirement locks

Remove py3.10–3.12 minimal-sdist(-build) lockfiles, stop generating them
in lock-python-dependencies-all, and delete the minimal-sdist-build extra.
They only supported hermeto build-from-sdist offline image builds.

* chore: Refresh pixi.lock after removing minimal-sdist-build

Keep pixi install --locked in sync with the pyproject.toml optional
dependency change so ray/duckdb CI environments can install.
